I had not been here before, but always keen to try something new, (and get inside the catenary masts) I gave it a go. It might have been different taken from the opposite side (photographers were split 50 - 50 between both sides), but seeing a local train was due on the left hand track at exactly the same time, I played safe!
I'll try it again I think! Maybe next week! (Depending on weather)
Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié. Nous organisons des trains d'excursion à vapeur de temps en temps, en particulier à Noël. Ils ont certainement l'air plus agréable avec beaucoup de fumée!
Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat. Von Zeit zu Zeit fahren wir Dampfzug-Züge, besonders zu Weihnachten. Sie sehen auf jeden Fall schöner aus mit viel Rauch!
Hi Rosa ,
Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!
I am so happy that you like the scene. As you will have realised, there is a lot of planning goes into these steam railway pictures.. The train passes in a few seconds, so it has to be right first time. This picture was used by the local paper..
Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

I did keep the long lens on to try and compress the distance to show the curves..
I am happy that you appreciated my efforts!

but rather disappointingly the paper version only printed it very small.. Usually they give my pics quite a bit of space..
(Maybe cost reduction of the amount of paper they use!)
