A Grand Central train service leaving York for Sunderland is caught by afternoon sunshine which has just broken through a mass of dark cloud, and a rainbow has formed over the locomotive.
I had arrived back in York on a local rail service and when I got off the train the rain was heavy, so I decided to wait a while before braving the weather to make my way home.
This proved to be a good decision, since shortly before this shot there had been a heavy downpour of hail, with the ground being white over.
This had quickly melted and the cloud appeared to be breaking up, so after this shot I braved the walk home. I made it half way home before the heavy rain started again. Some days you just can't win!
You can't have all the luck. at least part of your way home you stayed dry, sorry just had to say that. the picture of the train in this light looks beautiful and a rainbow on top of it. how lucky can you get.
Thank you Debbie, glad you like it
