Hoping for a smooth journey ahead! Taken along the tracks near to the yesteryear-steeped Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway. I liked the pop of red against the sky. Processed in Lightroom and Analog Efex Pro 2.

I *heart* bank holiday weekends
Especially when they are sun-filled! Snapped with the iPhone on one of two local walks we fit in this weekend.

We chose a beautiful stately home-with-chapel type hotel, full of long corridors peppered with small round stained glass windows, many staircases and little nooks. Quite something. I took the DSLR but only shot with theContinue reading “On getting away”
