Really like that.

I managed to get some time to see the Tornado on Saturday in Carlisle, and the Duchess of Sutherland a few hours earlier. It was a busy day at Carlisle station

I thought there were a few people hanging around the station, now I know why

Liking this alot.... The way the light, and the steam and smoke interplay, it's almost abstract in places.

Definitely a hint of 'Cuneo' about it.

Nicely done!

train or plane has to be a wall hanging shot - more great stuff - just shows what you miss when you have been away !
