I envy you the train, probably just cause I will never have the chance to take one around here. I suppose they could be boring or frustrating if they were something you had to do everyday. I like your photos.
The branch line is primarily used in the summertime as it ferries the holiday makers from the nearby park-and-ride. It was used more about 30 years ago when the buses used to be one an hour. Right now, it is fairly quiet - with some day trippers.
Thank you for your kind words re my photos - it means a lot :-)
/\ If THAT doesn't explain perspective, nothing ever will. GORGEOUS.. and so STRAIGHT! /\
We had a line near one of our houses in the war, and I played there often. Being a lonely child, I found sympathy with lonely stones on the stretchers... so if there was one, I'd pick it up and ask it if it wanted to join the others... sometimes they even had parties with flowers and leaves... !!
Thank you for the picture... oh MY line... Crumbs, memories can hurt!
I think there are areas that I could walk alongside, but generally not. There is a bridge by the side of our beach and definitely not enough room. I can imagine that there is a a kind of meditation to be had beside an abandoned railroad - all linear lines and quiet cuttings :-)
There is and I miss it these days. There's really no place to walk with that sort of peace and still be safe about it. The security I had as a child to be left alone is sadly gone now.
