On the northern coast of the island of Skye. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

We visited the City of Arts & Sciences in Valencia to view the Ninot exhibition which was on as part of the Falles festival. The museum area is a state-of-the-art science complex set within a landscaped park with a huge aquarium & IMAX screen. The buildings are very modern and impressive.

The Garden of San Pedro de Alcantara is a fine place to sit & watch the world go by, read a book or just admire the view over the old city & castle. HBM to everyone. Enjoy your week.

A rainy day visit to the Forest of Dean Railway and a trip behind Great Western Small Prairie 2-6-2-T 5541. We have seen the station sign and benches before but this expanded view includes the steam loco & train too. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start to the new week.

The Alcazar of the Christian Monarchs (Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos) in Cordoba. HWW to everyone.

Early morning mist hangs in the glens while the rising sun turns the mountaintops red. Seen from the open window of the Euston to Fort William sleeper train just south of Bridge of Orchy station on the West Highland Line. I had caught the sleeper from Crewe the night before and we were pulled by EWS Class 67 diesel 67007.

With the mountains of Skye across the water in the background Scotrail Class 158 diesel multiple unit 158721 prepares to depart Kyle of Lochalsh station with the 12.08 service to Inverness. HFF (there is one!) to everyone & have a great weekend.

It is about 9 miles from my position on the sea front east of Burntisland in Fife to the various Forth Bridges. The closest & most famous of the three is the railway cantilever bridge opened in 1890 by a consortium made up of the North British, the North Eastern, the Great Northern & the Midland Railways. Beyond that is the 1964 suspension Forth Road Bridge - now used by buses, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians only. Dominating both of these is the new M90 cable-stayed road bridge known as the Queensferry Crossing opened in August 2017.
