Vt Stop

[Rob MacKillop]

On the way north into Fife - photos from my destination to come tomorrow (I'm off out to see Davie's exhibition tonight!).

Haymarket Station, Edinburgh:

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Like this a lot Rob. The electrical wires and ceramic conductors and the houses, the track it can go and on. Lots to see not forgetting the sign . VT stop.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. I think this won't be the last shot I take there, though I had to do it quickly - didn't want to appear to be a trainspotter!

What's vt stop Rob? Very terminal stop? Splendid confusion conveyed as I see it. Very good bl&wh work as usual.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've no idea, Ivar. V for vehicle? Maybe. T for tchoo tchoo train? Probably

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Some Scotsman!

For fun and contrast, and from the DP1M:

I like both images ver much Rob. The tangle of overhead cables is wonderful. What I miss in the first, and like in the second, is picking up a leading diagonal from the right hand corner. It just cries out for it to me and I find my eye wandering down there.

VT is apparently a Type 220 Voyager Train and this is a coach marking sign for the driver.

And no, I don't own an Anorak!

 

[Pete Askew]

Yet!

 

[Pete Askew]

But I do have a couple of empty notebooks lying around...

 

[Pete Askew]

Hmm, and I'm just off the catch an S-Bahn in Babelsberg to visit Ina in hospital. Maybe I should go a bit earlier...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I know what you mean about the right-hand corner - just right in the second image.

"Empty" note books???

Yes, do go...and bring a camera!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I hope Ina is not too ill????????????????

 

[Pete Askew]

She had an operation on Wednesday. It was successful and she is recovering well and will be home soon.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Give her our best wishes!!!

 

[Pete Askew]

Will do.
