A weekend of engineering works saw all normal traffic on the Tyne Valley route stopped. Having the route to itself on Sunday afternoon was 66779 'Evening Star' which was operating the 6G44 14:30 Hexham to Carlisle New Yard.
I wouldn't have normally ventured out for a single service in indifferent conditions but I hadn't photographed the celebrity '66' before so thought I would make the effort. Just before it's arrival the skies darkened and the heavens opened providing a much more atmospheric set of conditions than the overcast but dry weather of only a few minutes earlier.

2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the past 50 years.
The book, called 50 Years of Phoenix is available now – click on this link to order your copy: www.mortonsbooks.co.uk/product/view/productCode/15554

Have a wonderful day my dear friends! Cheers!
While I was in Central Australia recently, I thought I would have a go at star trails. It is not often that you have wonderful views of the stars, you can leave you camera unattended for long periods and not have to worry about dew getting on the lens or someone taking your camera. I took the easy approach and took a single long exposure rather than multiple exposures.
My first attempt was a complete failure. I had high ISO noise reduction switched on and I thought my camera was malfunctioning when the camera kept processing for minutes and minutes. This is one of the next attempts. It was for only about 10 1/2 minutes so the trails are very short.

I’m finding it hard to get the tree out of my mind, the tree, our tree. It’s one of those horrible WHY moments in my life that have stunned me, John Lennon’s assassination, the twin towers, Brexit and now our tree. I keep saying our tree because it was our tree, not Robin Hoods tree, our tree, it’s a place on the map it was the most beautiful icon of the North East. I viewed many beautiful photos yesterday and read the words, shock, disbelief and memories, some said simply “no words” which is understandable, although I need to share my words or they just rattle about in me. I’ve taken many a photo of the tree and I always intend to go and get that special sunrise, backed by the Aurora, arcing with the milky way or a snowy day with ice hanging from it’s branches. It’s never to be now. However I can’t stop thinking am I and photographers like me are partly to blame for this tragedy, forever posting photos on social media making the tree more famous, more attention. If it never had this cult notoriety maybe it would still be happily standing today watching the many pilgrims walking the wall, maybe the mindless moron who ended its days would have been oblivious of its existence, maybe. Too many questions, too many thoughts which time will bury but not really heal. Anyway here is my last goodbye star tree.

Alaska Railroad's southbound Denali Star that runs from Fairbanks to Anchorage is seen crossing the Tanana River on the Mears Memorial Bridge in Nenana Alaska. There are two Denali Stars that run daily, one northbound and one southbound between Anchorage and Fairbanks during the busy summer tourist season in Alaska. This 12 hours run through Alaska will take riders through some of the most incredible scenery in the country. Some of the highlights of the trip would be views of Denali if the weather allows, crossing the famous Hurricane Gulch Bridge, riding through Denali National Park, and passing through the Healy Canyon.
Here in Nenana, the Alaska Railroad crosses the Mears Memorial Bridge. This is the location, on the north side of the bridge, where the Alaska Railroad was completed. The completion of this bridge allowed access to the mineral rich regions of Central Alaska to flow by rail to the coastal cities of Anchorage and Seward. The bridge is just over 1300ft long with a main span of 700ft which at the time of its construction in 1923 was the largest truss span in the United States.
