As she lies dormant in the yard, this huge engine fills the mind with images of sweat and toil on the railroads of yesteryear
The Royal Albert Bridge that spans the Tamar river on the border between Cornwall and Devon in South-West UK. / This railway bridge was opened in 1859 and was built by probably the best engineer of the Victorian era, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and is still in daily use now. / I took this shot on a cold November morning just before the sun fully came up. The town of Saltash in Cornwall are celebrating the 150th anniversary of this grand old bridge and of Brunel himself in May. For details of events please Click Here See my video on YouTube
During the summer high season, steam trains run from York to Scarborough. I took this shot a couple of years ago, once again with a compact camera which I tend to carry with me most of the time. I think the setting is right for this shot, the old steam train passing rows of old terraced houses. MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
This is a photograph I took at the ‘Sacre Coeur’ Paris. I have created this finished piece with photoshop.
This looks to be an old shearing shed of sorts but also looks to be the house as there are fire places inside (I doubt the shearer would need a roaring fire while he was at work!). / This building is on the road between Mannum and walker Flat in South Australia. / . / / . / / . / / . / / . / / . /
Image taken at Korumburra Railway Station in Victoria. No 3 of 8.
This is a shot of Niagara Falls in the brutally cold month of February. Everything was frozen and encased in ice. It was so cold that all of my other cameras kept fogging up. The only shots I got were taken with my trusty Polaroid.

taken off the back of our train somewhere through the plains of USA… Leaving It All Behind I’m leaving on the next train to freedom / Your heart has kept me captive for too long / You think that I won’t leave until you tell me / so before I go I’m writing you this song. We spent years building up this friendship / but you know I built it mostly by myself / You didn’t care enough to help but I loved you / Now it’s time to put it on the shelf. I want to leave you far behind me / to get you out of heart and mind / I may be the best you’ll ever have / but you won’t be the best I’ll ever find. You made sure to give less than expected / so I would have nothing I might repay / You told me that I owe you nothing / but then you stand there begging me to stay. I’m leaving on the next train to freedom / Your heart has kept me captive for too long. / You think I can’t leave until you let me / As in so, so many ways, my love,... you are wrong. by Rachel Leigh

A glimpse of the railroad tracks in the midst of an ICE Storm! An ice storm one would expect in the Northern states in Winter…..but this one devastated the Southern states and shut down power for thousands of people for weeks and left many without heat and electric! Feb-09 Ice storm – Kentucky

I was taken (almost against my will) to Victorian University of Technology in Footscray, Melbourne where one of my friend’s needed to make an appearance at their Open Day, of which she was involved in the planning. I spotted this set of stairs and railings on the way back to the car. Suddenly the trip there was all worthwhile :) It was an overcast day and lighting was poor, but with the help of level tweaking, a blue filter and a dash of contrast, this grey concrete was looking a lot more fire ravaged. Featured in Rustic / Featured in Around The World All processing was done between 10pm and 12am Canon SX100IS / f3.5, 1/125, ISO 100 MCN: C7E9A-3DADB-2259D
Taking shots of the Railway Bridge crossing the mighty River Murray at Murray Bridge South Australia. Thanks to Dave Hartley from the Mannum Motel who went with me on the night and helped me get this shot. For a better image with a wide angle lens see his image. Interesting outcome here with a slight hint of flow on the river and the yellow feel created by tungsten lighting off the nearby bridge. No moon helped create the reflective image which is rarely seen like this. My apologies to everyone who has been visiting recently and leaving comments, I have been away on holidays and with work for over three weeks now so will try and catch up on all of your images soon. Prefer not to tell people I’ll be away as you never know who’s out here on RB so often you will not hear from me for some time when work is as busy as it is at the moment. This image shot with a Canon 400D – 17-85 lens.

Railway and streetcar tracks atop the High Level Bridge, Edmonton, Canada. These tracks are on the upper of two decks, the lower of which carries automotive traffic and pedestrians. The span in the photo is just under 2900 feet (877m), is about 175 feet (21m) above the river and was opened for service in 1913, connecting the then independent communities of Strathcona and Edmonton. Although commercial rail traffic ceased in 1989, a streetcar now traverses the bridge in the summer months. 117 views as of December 3, 2009 Featured in No More Color October 2009 / Featured in Which Way November 2009 / Featured in Who Needs Color For Beauty?
