Daisy the Diesel Crossing Stanway Viaduct

Beautifully framed Peter.

Thank you Jaap,

A practice for when they run steam locomotives!

Best wishes

Hi Peter,

You have done Daisy proud! What a delightful scene.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you Rosa,

This was a 'Thomas' themed weekend, but since I was in the area, and had never been before, I thought it worth a visit. I am sure many grandparents would have loved to have taken their young grandchildren there!!

Best Wishes
Peter

And you never mentioned dingle, Rosa!

Excellent dingle Peter ;-))

Fantastic framing and view, Peter !

Hi Marie-claire,

Glad you like the vegetation!! Thank you!

Hello Peter, This is an awesome shot of the "Thomas" themed weekend! You captured this view perfectly for sure. LOVE how you framed it from back beneath the tree limbs, the POV really highlights the train on the Viaduct....great job with this one Peter. love it. Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad you noticed the tree! I figured that without something extra the picture would have been a bit ordinary, so I sat under the big tree in the shade, and waited!

The dingle added a lot to the composition as well as providing you with shade, Peter!
Fine shot.
Best wishes,
Andy

Thank you Andy,

Certainly sitting under the tree was a good idea!
Could have stayed there longer if a few beers were coming..

another lovely shot saved in fav's

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve

Thank you so much! I thought it would be worth a look, a location for the future...
I didn't see the Fat Controller though, perhaps he was too busy eating his breakfasts, or maybe he is visiting a brother in North Korea somewhere.

My dear Peter,

What a wonderful frame, you have done!!
I like it very much!!The train on the viaduct looks wonderful among the branches of trees! Really very beautiful composition! Cleverly!
A big YS!

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very kind words here. As you know I had gone looking to make a nice picture of the viaduct, perhaps a place to return to when steam engines are running...
It was also a nice empty field, with a big tree to sit under!
Love Peter

Oh, you did find her! This is wonderful. I'll have to share this link with my son. He'll really like it. There's nothing like those sweet childhood memories. I've saved all his trains for when he has his own child. :)

Thank you!

Hi Karen

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment! I must now have a look through the archives to find Thomas.. I know he is here somewhere!!
I too have a whole collection of model trains which I have saved. Maybe one day another special young child will come into this world and enjoy them.........

Best Wishes
Peter
