I love looking at your photographs Blackbird, and that's coming from a photographer

[Blackbird6 in reply to O2Trees]

Hi 02 didn't realise you were a photographer you should share your pics sometime with us would be brilliant to see 😍

[O2Trees in reply to Blackbird6]

D'you know what BB, I only have my mobile these days (long story) and dont take much stuff with it and certainly not the kind of lovely atmospheric stuff you share. I cant carry much weight and at the moment I'm looking at systems cameras as they have all the advantages of an SLR camera without the weight of the mirrors. I've tended to do big projects then nothing for several years. So must be due for one now when I get the new camera.

You take care and keep posting yours

Splendid! These old steam engines are so atmospheric. Thanks for another excellent photo, Blackbird 🌸

[Blackbird6 in reply to Yatzy]

Thank you Yatzy was definitely great to see and hear rattling along 😀

[Yatzy in reply to Blackbird6]

I can ‘hear’ it myself now! 😃 Lovely!

Hi blackbird when I was a kid I went train spotting and every train was the flying Scots man no wonder I didn’t recognise it when I saw it in Chester last year the Scots man never did pass through chesterfield where I lived take care xxx

Favourite pastime as a child was to stand on the bridge to get smothered in the sooty smoke from the train. 👤🚂

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hidden]

I used to enjoy sitting on the train bridges as a child also 😁

[Whitechinchilla]
