Ah, the days when our railway stations were full of luggage like this conjures up sets of families on their way to the seaside. A different tale nowadays!
Taken at Bridgenorth station on the heritage railway of the 'Severn Valley Railway' in Shropshire and Worcestershire. Originally a full coloured shot and a recent runner up in the November 2018 Ipernity SPC (Secret Photographer Challenge) Valigie - Suitcases competition. -

The Severn Valley Railway is a heritage railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire, England. The 16-mile heritage line runs along the Severn Valley from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, crossing the Shropshire/Worcestershire border, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route.

Lovely image enhanced by some excellent processing.

Hi Dave, yes sometimes a photo needs a little help. The days of 'pure' untouched photography are long since gone as even complete (no post-editing) novices are completely over-ruled by the technology within the camera's and devices. Cheers for the thoughts my friend, Herb

Herb Riddle club has replied to Steve Paxton club
Thanks a lot Steve and yes, our vintage railways go that extra mile (Oooooh) to create a real feeling of nostalgia. The comp, like lots of competitions, seemed like a difficult subject but in the end most of us nowadays have a large stock of 'normal' pictures taken in life's adventures. In the meantime, some members here will actually go out and take photos just with the comp in mind (what!!). Always a pity to see such a small number of members taking part in our SPC though.
Cheers, Herb

Very vintage. Memories of when we all had this kind of suitcase. Now we are all with the trolleys.

Btw...when I say 'difficult'... I mean to include interest in the picture too...

Herb Riddle club has replied to David G Johnson club
Hi Dave, it seemed to me too, a difficult subject and my first thoughts were to leave it alone but i found some and I did well, so just shows what can be done. Yes, I felt that this subject needed something else too and certainly the vintage rail station provided that.

Have a great day, Herb
