Castle Cary

Castle Cary
The view south through a window of an eastbound train which had stopped at Castle Cary railway station. 4.30 in the afternoon in mid July. Shades of 'Adlestrop'.

Old Owl, John FitzGerald, Pics-UM have particularly liked this photo

I think it's because of your composition.

Thank you, John. I won't take credit for the composition because when the train stopped I was presented with this view from the window seat where I was sitting. I will, however, take credit for seeing the possibility and acting promptly to record it.

Serendipity is a wonderful thing, but as you say, you have to take the opportunity when presented to you. And to link this with arguably one of the best poems in the English language makes the image even more evocative. I can almost hear the blackbird singing.

Thanks, Old Owl. During summer I usually have the rhythm and colour of 'Adlestrop' in my head when travelling by train. How wonderful to have left such a gift for generations to follow.
