This is the railway bridge that crosses the River Mosel at Bullay, north east of Traben-Trabach. During WW2 it became an important rail connection for the Germans as it provided a supply line between Berlin and the French city of Metz. As such, the Allies were keen to disable it, to deprive the Germans of supplies on their western front, and made it a primary target for bombing. As the Allies advanced through Europe, post-D-Day, the bridge was bombed a number of times between July 1944 until its final destruction in February 1945. The rebuilding of the bridge, after the war's end, required the help of local townspeople and took two years to complete.
A local guidebook notes that, due to the line's role in serving the military (which had origins going back a lot earlier than WW2), this railway was to gain the name 'Kanonenbahn.'

A Freightliner class 66 passes Darlington Arena with the daily Teesport to Felixstowe liner. Ths stadium is being used for Covid testing so with the area teetering on the brink of tier 3 restrictions its a bit surprising that there doesn't appear to be any testing going on. Maybe its happening inside.

Light Painting. Experimenting with a new tool, happy with the textures but the shapes it can make are very limited.
