But I'm grateful for the little daffs, they give a small bit of colour to the garden. I've seen a few here but not many yet. Daffodils are some of my favorite flowers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Mayflower is a really nice locomotive which I've seen lots of times and had several rides behind, including one on the main line between London Waterloo and Windsor. This photo was taken at Minehead station on the West Somerset Heritage railway which at 20 miles is the longest heritage railway in England. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great picture I like how everything looks so detailed even the clouds you can see well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I saw this rather nice tree a few houses along my road and just had to go and take some photos of it. I think it's a cherry blossom (sakura) tree, but I'm not certain of that. Anyway, it's a nice tree. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like a cherry blossom but I'm not very well educated in what tree is what 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I figured out the white trees I went to see were pear trees instead of Dogwoods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wanted to go to Japan during the cherry blossom season that's on my bucket list. To walk down a road that is lined with those types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 When I went out I saw this which is something I wasn't expecting to see, a main line steam hauled charter train. The Golden Arrow was a prestigious luxury train that ran from London to Dover and passengers then travel by boat across to France where another luxury train took them on to Paris. The locomotive is a beautifully restored Southern Railway West Country class no.34046 and named Braunton. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a private charter train, but anyone can buy tickets for trains like that from the organiser of the charter. I've been on a couple, ticket prices vary depending on the tour and what extras are available, on some you can have a full three course meal. 4 hours ago, Sakura said: Niceeee you did get a pic of it Such a good picture and the train looks cool asf *-* It's sooo shiny lol Yes, I'm pleased with that photo, it's certainly shiny it's also big and powerful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are such many talented photographers on this site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Black & white photographs were mentioned recently in @Sakura's blog which got me thinking about B&W work. So I revisited the photos I took in the park and processed this one as a B&W photo. I think it came out quite nice. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes me want to just do an entire blog entry for black and white photography. I think that's something I might do in the next week ~ b&w in this just really adds so much to this photo and gave it a totally different vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
