Ah, most evocative. Very redolent of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty.

Excellent video, I have to agree with the other comments about the last shot, just superb.

Thanks. The last shots at Horsted Keynes are almost traditional. Most of the photters converge there. Apparently the previous train - a double header - was even better. I was busy screwing up that shot at Sheffield Park; I pressed the manual focus button on my remote in error (I have rarely used the contraption) and found it wouldn't zoom but kept trying to refocus. It would have been the best shot of the day and the air was blue!

My other half is in this video, right at the end of the 2nd carriage with his head hanging out of the window :o) He said it was a great day out :o)

I think the whole thing sparkled, a lovely drop of light well captured.

Thanks. Glorious is spot onfor the weather. Maybe my jinx with the weather is lifting! Apparently the penultimate shot from my final location was even better. The whole of the four coach Met set glinted.
