Here's another image from Thursdays charter on the Torbay & Dartmouth Rly with Manor No. 7827 "Lydham Manor". Here the loco is seen heading away from Kingswear towards Britannia Crossing, with its 5 coach choc/cream train, on 7th March 2024. This image was captured with my drone out over the River Dart as the train approached the Britannia Crossing, facing north, at the end of the afternoon. Before anyone comments - yes, I have edited out the names on the coaches as I dislike them and feel they add nothing to the overall scene. #torbayanddartmouthsteamrailway #paignton #Kingswear #dartmouth #torbay #devon #visitdevon #devonlife #manorclass #lydhammanor #greatwestern #westernregion #prints #STEAM #heritage #GWR #DronePhotography #aerial #aerialphotographydrone

Yesterday I attended a photo charter on the Torbay & Dartmouth Railway in Devon with Timeline Events. We had Manor No. 7827 "Lydham Manor" with a rake of choc/cream carriages. The loco has recently been outshopped in BR lined green, and very smart it looks too. The day was greeted with some very windy weather, a strong easterly making shots on the very scenic coastal section of line very difficult, and we all decided collectively it would be nigh on impossible in the afternoon, with the exhaust blowing over to what would be the lit side of the train. Therefore we took the train to Britannia Crossing, where the Higher Ferry to Dartmouth crosses the River Dart, it was much less windy here, as we had suspected. It was though rather cloudy, and there was a considerable amount of waiting around for some light. However, it was noticed on the weather radar apps that some clearer sky was approaching, and this arrived at the very last knockings of the day. We managed 3 run pasts before we had to curtail for the day to return to Paignton by the scheduled time.

I had a somewhat disappointing start to the day today. I got up at 5.30am and prepared to go out onto the Somerset Levels for sunrise, having seen the forecast the evening before indicating a clear night, with some frost and mist. That coupled with the current flooding could have made for a memorable image. However, as I prepared to go out the door I realised it was in fact rather damp and cloudy, so after some consideration of what I might achieve, I abandoned the shoot and returned to my bed for a while longer. To counter that disappointment, I have reviewed some past images of winter sunrises on the levels, so here is one I captured in 2017 looking across the River Tone on Curry Moor at sunrise. #somersetlevels #currymoor #northcurry #RiverTone #somerset #visitsomerset #somersetlife #canoneos #canon #prints #beautifulbritain #capturingbritain #landscapephotography #leefilters
