Basford Crossings by phil_howcroft

Basford Crossings

The railway Robin Hood Line running parallel to the tram line at Basford Crossings.

I drive across this tram / train crossing twice a day when commuting to work at school. In fact I have crossed this crossing twice a day since 1999 as it was on my main commute to the M1 when I was a freelance IT consultant

This was shot on my lunchtime walk and the shot has been post processed in Rawtherapee and GIMP.

well this is most favulous!

Its a long train or just a rail car? Like the colours - see from a long way off - hopefully!

Like the primary colours and the leading lines - leading us out of (train) and into (tracks) the shot - or at least that's how I see it. Is this your first shot of this familiar crossing, Phil?

This is a great shot - love your processing - makes the colours pop.

@sparkle wow Juliette , nice of you to pop onto 365 and comment. Your photos are missed by your many 365 friends. Enjoy your Duran Duran show , I am sure it will be good . Basford crossings , if I had a pound for every time I cross it then it would make quite a nice savings pot ☺
