Early morning at the Bluebell

Time for a lick and a polish - if one is an enthusiast. ;-)

You've got it :) I'll leave it to the professionals x

Outstanding shot.

Thank you Don :~)

Hello Nick well unlike Amelia i would not lick it .. but would polish it :))

A smashing shot indeed and one certainly liked by me Nick .. a YS for sure

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve, well it is a well loved engine that is for sure' Many thanks for your kind words and Y*

Nick

Captured beautifully on an early November morning Nick.

Early bird and all that Rosa :~) I like early mornings ~ Thanks for your compliment

Hi dear Nick,

I really like this very much!!
A very beautiful photo which was taken on November...
Maybe a little cold and misty morning... But tells some stories ... different cultures and lifes...
I like the story very much!!
A big YS!

Best wishes

Hi dear GGR ~ Thank you for your perceptive appraisal ~ I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the image. Thanks for the Y* too ~ Warm wishes ~ Nick

Hi Nick

I really like the atmosphere here, and the obvious story of preparing the locomotives for their work. Although the man from elf n safety has pretty well stopped this kind of photography now. Pity!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Hi Peter, my trick used to be to get there before the elves arrived, wearing a fluorescent yellow waistcoat helped too maybe. Thanks for your good wishes ~ Hanwe

Looks like history in the making here. The idea of getting here this early in Autumn to capture this was very good indeed. As you say about that bird.... Well done. ~ Herb

Thanks Herb, I'm a natural early riser anyway ~ this place is a couple of hours away from me in the early morning. It gets very busy later as does Sheffield Park which is nearby and a very popular spot in Autumn ~ All the best ~ Nick

Hmmm...I can smell the sooty steam...a wonderful atmosphere there!
