It looks like they are still debating whether it would be prudent to join in or not! Another fabulous juxtaposition, and timed to perfection too. :)

As I 10 - 14 year-old I used to roam and play on the old Bexhill to London line, another victim of the dismantling of the network by the government following the ‘conclusions’ of the Beeching report. In my very young years I even travelled on the steam trains that used to go to the old West...

That is a very satisfying shot, Gary. Serene.

Wonderfully surreal, Gianluca. Love it. :)

Absolutely. It looks an impressive falls and worth of another visit.

They do indeed, Gianluca. What a gorgeous set! :)

That is a super super tableaux, Julian. Did you join them for a drink?

I like to image in the latter! ;) What a fine capture, John. We get sparrow and blue tits!
