Flying Scotsman!

This has been a long the coming for me. For the first time ever I managed to have time to get to the viaduct to catch a steam train coming over it at 10 am this morning. And not just any steam train but the Flying Scotsman. The light was tricky and it was rather hazy and in the wrong direction at that time of day. Also tagging for the 52 week challenge Composition: Geometry
We live in a world surrounded by geometry. Use Geometry in your photo this week.

Great to see it! I heard it was coming through Derbyshire this morning, but I was in Manchester so wasn't able to see it!

[Fisher Family]

A super shot! - fav! I was at York to see it arrive, though photo opportunities were limited by a late running train in the way.

Saw this on the popular page, beautifully captured Richard its worked out well even with all the elements against it, I may have been tempted to crop just above the powerlines and presented it in a letterbox format but still its a great image. Fav:)

[Richard Brown]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter I have a shot like that but I decided on this one as I like the human element of the people watching. The powerlines however are not so great!

[Clare Gadsby]
