My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very quick visit to this picture, and a place we know so well. We have taken many pictures along this railway, yet not so many showing on ipernity.
This day, everything was so nice for photos!
Have a wonderful week!

Love Peter

Perfectly captured. Gorgeous against the snowy background.

Hi Esther,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am so happy that you like the snow covered scene.
Best Wishes,
Peter

A delightful scene Peter

Hi Nick,
Thank you for visiting!
Glad you like it.
You may remember this one from Pano...
Best Wishes,
Peter

Wonderful, Peter!!
And a little bit surprised to note the fact that you were taking photos in 1900.
Keep taking the monkey glands!
Best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
I think it is more a case of 'default to 1 jan 1900 if no date is known'!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Lovely winter scene.

Hi Jaap,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,

It looks fabulous with snow on the ground. The blue sky and the light come together to make a great shot. I saw some Christmas cards with railway stations and engines on this year, and this would make a great one!!

Best wishes,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit, and such wonderful words.
Glad you like it.
Your comments about the light made me look further.. This one www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46790500 was taken exactly a year later, in a spot a stone's throw from here... Same kind of weather conditions!
I think steam trains and mountains always look nice with snow!
Best Wishes,
Peter

A real nice winter-railway-photo!

Have once watched this video of a cab ride on this famous line:

Hi Volker ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you so much.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
The video is brilliant! I have been over that route so many times (look carefully at the picture of Prince hyperlinked above, and its comments..) But never before have I seen it on the computer at home!

Here is another picture of the same locomotive, but the other end this time..

Thanks Peter,

looks like you have been on the locomotive during the ride.
When watching the Ytube video again, a found a scene that made me smile. At Minffordd station I discovered a couple taking pictures and at first I thought that might be a Seward Johnson sculpture :-)

At the end of the railway stop - suddendly both were standing there in just the same pose as before -really like Seward Johnson sculptures.
I made 2 screen shots of these funny moments and posted it here:

You can have fun in watching the video at 45:20 and 46:10 ; )

Hi Volker,

Thank you for posting this pair of pictures.

Sorry it's a little late, but I have now visited both.

This behaviour is in fact quite common!.

Best wishes
Peter

Hi Steve,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it, and recommended so many other groups for it!
As you might guess, there are some advantages to having this railway on your doorstep!

Schöne historische Aufnahme von 1900 ;-)

Hi Trester ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Of course the scene is exactly the same in 1900. The railway has been there a very long time!
Best Wishes, and a good week ahead,
Peter

Ah, one of "The Ladies" and "The Old Gent" and some rare sea level snow !
[polite nicknames, when being less than well behaved they have others !]
Nicely composed shot and vibrant colours.
