An early Sunday morning photo session outside Tata's Port Talbot steelworks. No stunning sunrise just half-light gradually increasing. Morfa coke ovens closed in March, Blast Furnace 5 (on the right) closed in July and BF4 closed last weekend. This ends Port Talbot's ability to produce liquid iron from ore. Around 2,800 staff from Tata's 8,000 workforce stand to lose their jobs. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

We visited the beautiful North Cornwall coastal town of Port Isaac for the first time last year. We have spent a lot of time in Padstow but never made the 30 minute drive there. Despite the rain and wind it was well worth it. In any case we could shelter from the storm in the many tourist shops & cafes with only a few tourists in them! This was the Chapel Cafe, hence the beautiful windows.

Dating from 1886 the Dom Luís I Bridge is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the River Douro between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Line D trams of the Metro run over the upper bridge while the lower carries road traffic. This view was taken from the Vila Nova de Gaia riverside which is famous for its port wine cellars. Now part of a tourist display these sailing boats were once used to transport the wine from the Douro Valley to Vila Nova de Gaia for storage and export. HFF & a great weekend to everyone.

Light, shadow & steam. An early morning shot of the steamy atmosphere inside Sydenham loco shed in Port Elizabeth as the engines were being prepared.

North British-built Class 24 2-8-4 3685 stands ready to go off Sydenham shed while behind Class 15AR 4-8-2 2082 leaves a cloud of steam as it sets off to itself leave the depot. Other 15ARs are on shed including 1802 simmering in front of the buildings on the right.
