Trains

As many of you will know, I schlepp my weary carcass from Maidenhead to Basingstoke at an ungodly hour of the morning. One of the unexpected benefits of this routine is that I get to see some pretty cool sights of a morning usually involving sunrise, a windmill, a rubbish tip, deer and some random game birds (as yet unidentified).

Taking photographs from a rapidly-moving train is an interesting challenge, and more often than not I mis-time it and get a smeary tree-filled picture that makes my eyes water in sympathy. Sometimes though, they come out okay..
