"TESCO" Station!

Lovely sunset. Where's the steam train?
Actually, from the title I was expecting a football ground shot.

Re: Accrington

Good light makes all the difference.

Re: Accrington

If I was any good I'd get rid of the Tesco sign!
I'd been to see the football, and luckily the weather held off, before a torrential downpour from about 5pm til 5:30, so we sheltered in the Grey Horse pub near the ground. Once the rain had stopped, we walked back to the station for the 6pm train.

I could see the double rainbow all of the walk back, but unfortunately there wasn't really a good viewpoint up to the moors without other buildings in the way.

I really liked the glow of the sunset - perhaps if I'd got there a few minutes earlier I'd have caught the sun as well. Still, it's always worth carrying the camera just in case for shots like this.

I tried taking a few at the match, but I'm not good enough to get the speed right on the camera.

Re: Accrington

Gorgeous light, and I like the way you have used the curve of the rail tracks to lead us into the pictures.

Re: Accrington

Lovely light and a nice shot.

I would darken to the area to the left of the track on the first to diminish the clutter.
