Lovely shot in a lovely location. Looks like it could have been taken 60 odd years ago, well done and thanks.

must - resist.

*FAIL

The only things (to me) that immediately stop me from seeing it as a period photo are the chocolate & cream mkII, the lack of telegraph poles and the LMS livery. (Photoshop opportunity?) However, that does not take anything away from the photo!!!

To clarify (uh?) that those are the only things that stop it looking as though someone had a TARDIS on hand is remarkable!

I know. I tried soooo hard to resist! ;)

What's even worse is that SWMBO encourages me - go figure!
