    Nice shots Rick, i always thought that spot at Rowington had potential for a pan, but always assumed the sun would be the wrong side for an afternoon shot so haven't used it in ages.

    I've added pics from today at Henley and Shirley to my Shakespeare Express album: http://david1984.fotopic.net/c1868022.html

    The Earl put on a good display to bring another era on the North Warwick to a close.

    Nice photo at Henley Martin. I had thought about going there, but I didn't have time to suss out any locations beforehand, and pretty much stumbled upon the golf course location by accident!

    I travelled on the Shakespeare Express for the first time today. It was an excellent trip. I took a few pictures of Bearley West Signal Box and the semphore signals from the train. Not sure if I made the best use of the location near Bearley West for the last run of the season.
