Hi Steve and Rainer

Thank you both for your visit, and the awards, I'm pleased you have enjoyed this picture from my part of the world. As you can see, it is not the most brightly illumianted morning, but it does show an unusual sight of little Prince on the Welsh Highland tracks. Again, it was Ffestiniog gala weekend, and this was a special excursion..

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Steve

You are right, no bouncing bombs, just the flood waters of the river Dee. I don't know if it has given way totally yet, I haven't been there for a month. Maybe the owner will take note when all his beer glasses have gone!

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Steve

Thank you for your visit to probably the most photographed spot on the railway, and the awards. It is directly on a public footpath. In this case a GWR locomotive, on the old Great Western Railway!

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Steve

Thank you for your visit, and the like. I reckon this must be one of the most photographed farm houses in the area! Trains heading for Llangollen have a very slight hill to climb here, so we can see just a but of smoke in eveidence. Maybe you could come to one of these galas? It's nice countryside!

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Steve

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words, and the stars. It is much appreciated. I did notice you had posted a lot more pics while I'd been away, and I will be looking to visit them properly soon.

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Steve

Thank you for your visit, and the awards. Sorry for a late reply, I've been away with the motorbike in Switzerland, (and a small excursion into Germany). Only got back yesterday. I had not been to this spot before, but it seemed very popular. Sadly under represented on Pano. I'll maybe try here again for something else, and see how it goes.

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Stacy

Thank you for your visit, and the thoughtful appraisal. You are right, it is difficult to find such places, simply because our railways have been around so long that almost everywhere vegetation has grown up on the embankments. (The roots help bind them together too). I 'm happy that you like it.

Best Wishes Peter

We had a very unusual winter here, in that it snowed well into March. I like the idea of 'winter solitude', especially for the poor guy in the middle of nowhere with his camera, just waiting for that illusive capture. Your kind words and appreciation make it worthwhile.

Best Wishes Peter

Hello Rainer

Thank you for your visit, and the praise.
Yes, you are right, this gala weekend gave the opportunity for many different pictures, with locomotives working unusual trains. This was an unusual part of the day where such a number collected together in one place. I am happy that you like it.

Best Wishes Peter
