One of the many ghosts of railways past in England, this one is in the East Riding of Yorkshire and used to connect small towns and villages who's road communications are now choked with cars. Remarkable lack of foresight by the Dr. Beeching era.

Very nice image. Well done Sporgon.

Thanks Click and Rienz. I have always been fascinated by disused railway lines; this one feels particularly special, maybe because it runs between an ancient sacred spring and the site of the largest pagan temple in the North of England circa 600 AD, or maybe it's just my imagination ! ;D

This is quite nice. If you had only cloned out the cranes, and then done a wall-sized print, you could have sold it for like a billion dollars...at least if you had spent 40 years building your brand beforehand, etc. etc....:P (I'm referring to another thread about the "$4 million photograph"...just joking around, no offense...it's just kind of amusing...an ethereal mountain peak off in the distance, nestled over the hustle and bustle!!)

Ahh very cool, I just now saw the airplane in the upper right. Doesn't appear to be a float plane, but the underside of the wings seems to have stripes.

Very fun shot you have there...
