Probably better seen on large view if you have a moment.
The sky was a horrible, uniform, flat grey all day today and the air quality rather unpleasant.
It was a good day to go to the Didcot Railway Centre, somewhere I'd been wanting to go for some time. It's a sort of living museum where old steam locomotives are rescued, restored and, on some days, used for pulling carriages to give rides to visitors. I don't understand much about the technical side of the old steam locomotives but I do enjoy looking at them, and so does Lester.
It being a weekend, the volunteers were busy on restoration work. I tried to get some shots of the locos but the engine sheds were quite dark and I would have got in the way if I'd used a tripod. I'm hoping to return on a weekday sometime.
Meantime, here's a view of the tracks, the engine shed, and a couple of the chimneys of Didcot power station.

That is a very interesting shot. I like how your eyes go along the rails through the picture. My husband is a real rail enthusuast and takes me to all sorts of places but never Didcot. I think it will be on the list.
