I was sure happy to see this one turn up.
After walking some 3-4 miles around Conwy, including out to Llandudno Junction where the 10.36am Colas working turned out to be a track testing machine (as half expected), I ended up in Penmaenmawr stood on the footbridge taking in the cutting wintry wind coming off the sea and getting steadily colder.
Thankfully the train ran more or less to time save for a couple of minutes and, on this occasion, wasn't a substitute DMU which happened the last time I tried to bag this shot. For the record it's Arriva Trains Wales class 67 no. 67015 working the 9.50am Manchester Piccadilly - Holyhead (1D34).
With the return due in a couple of hours, and nothing of much consequence in between, I had more than enough time to sample a cracking fried breakfast and mug of tea at the Penmaenmawr Beach Cafe overlooking the sea. Heaven!
Penmaenmawr station must have been quite something when built given the number of chimney pots visible, possibly even home to the Station Master. The Grade-II listed building is mostly intact although the station is unmanned and now a request-stop only. Based on the remaining brickwork on the Up platform, I'm guessing there used to be an awning there at one time too.
The rocky hill in the background is Penmaenbach which rises to a height of 245m. It falls straight down to the sea requiring both the road (A55) and railway to tunnel through it.

This stream is named on the map as Red Water...I haven't worked out how it came by the name. The insect was a happy fluke. I didn't expect it to remain still for a 3s exposure. IThe rock reminds me of a diving platform, so maybe the insect is working itself up to taking a dive.
2 reds, 2 oranges, 2 yellows, equal-spaced brightnesses. Then 9 equal-spaced brightnesses every other one filled in: dark grey (RGB 12,15,13), magenta (RGB 64,32,57), blue (RGB 66,66,133), cyan (RGB 71, 143, 143) and white (RGB 245,255,247), overlaid with own-software edge-detection lines in the same colours and brightness breaks, over the top of a cyan (RGB 60,139,156) background.
Gives a red, orange, blue and white abstract perspective that highlights detail of the scene IMO.

"'Platform' is ITP/IMA's Faculty Member Gabe Colombo's new 5-channel video artwork with MTA Arts Design examining what it means to be back together in a crowd after years spent apart. The work features a large portrait of 40 New Yorkers in a slow-motion moment of awe. The subject of their collective gaze is purposefully left ambiguous."

**Spolier Alert**
It was uncomfortable and startling to realize that the eyes and camea phones of the "crowd" were following me as I walked down the corridor. They;re watching YOU. A very effective AHA! moment.
Standing in the platform at Springburn on the 28th March 1978 waiting departure time with a service to Milngave is “ Glasgow Blue Train” 303053.
Unit History
The electric multiple unit fleet introduced as part of the Glasgow suburban electrification scheme where painted in a light blue livery (commonly called electric blue) and as part of the publicity to promote the services they where dubbed “The Blue Train”. Ninety-one, three-car units were built by Pressed Steel at Linwood near Paisley, from 1959–1961. Initially classified as class AM3 they later became class 303. The two outer carriages of each unit were driving trailers, with an intermediate motor coach containing the motor bogies and electrical equipment. The class was built in two batches; units 303001-035 were built 1959-60 and units 303036-091 were built 1960-61. The units had many features which made them state of the art at the time of their introduction; this included the use of air brakes and pneumatically operated sliding passenger doors. In 1984 British Rail began a major refurbishment programme for fifty of the now twenty five year old units. In the early 1980’s, following a decline in passengers in the Glasgow area, several Class 303s were transferred to North West England and these survived until the mid 1990’s. Most of the un-refurbished units were withdrawn at the end of the 1980s, following the introduction of new Class 320 units on the North Clyde route in 1989 and the surviving forty refurbished units were withdrawn during 2001/02, following the introduction of new Class 334 units. 303053 was one of the units transferred to the North West (Longsight) and was withdrawn circa 1991.
