On Saturday 6th December there was a steam engine day trip to Lincoln to coincide with the city's Christmas Market. The locomotive was the Union of South Africa. I managed to get a few reasonable snaps as the train was entering our village of Heighington rail-space. I was caught unawares slightly by its speed: it was really motoring – or should that be training – as you can see by the horizontal steam trail.
In the previous week's gallery I showed you Mr Blackbird in our crab-apple tree: this week to maintain equality of the sexes it is the turn of Mrs Blackbird.
This
view was taken during my recent nostalgia visit to my childhood
home-town. Folkestone's inner harbour on 21st November 2014; a leaden
and dispiriting morning. Can you spot the Martello Tower?
I've been trying to get an image that I believe portrays the concept of the bird and its habitat for the Woodpidgeon – I think this might just do it justice.
For this I like the title of 'Time for Thought'.
Sea-fishing on a grey, damp, misty, windy November morning, at 09:30 hrs. on the exposed Hythe beach. The grey-green sea looks arctic and aggressive. Surely they cannot find it an enjoyable experience?
This is a case of view one get one extra because I can't decide which is the better image. Which do you prefer?
I have shown you Mrs. B and then followed on with Woodie so today here they are together.
