Great pics, sapper.

Here's a song for ya:

I Like Trains
Fred Eaglesmith

Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas border
Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
I took it to the shoulder

I stoked the kettle, I put it to the metal, I shook the gravel loose
I missed the train but I was happy with
A glimpse of the caboose

`Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains
That call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains
That whisper your name

I was born on a Greyhound bus; my mama was a diesel engine
They tried to put me behind the wheel
But I wouldn't let them

You should have seen the look in their eyes and how it turned to tears
When I finally told them
I wanna be an engineer

(chorus)

Now, you think that I got someone new
But darlin', that ain't true
I could never love another
Woman, besides you

`Cause it's not some dewy eyed darlin', darlin'
That's gonna drive you insane
Not anymore, but I'd be listening for
The sound of a big ol' train

(chorus)

I like trains
That whisper...
That whisper your name

I want to go! I am green with envy!

Like Kermit the frog I am croaking
With longing for such beauty and peace
Especially with someone who's folking!
Now can you throw in John Cleese?



Arrgghhh...well what did you expect for spur of the moment rhyming?**BG**

Love the photos, esp. the Finnan viaduct ones, almost a sepia tone, there's one which looks like an ancient postcard...just lovely!

Thanks for sharing!

Musta gotten et, gnu. I don't see any deleted posts in this thread. My messages get et about once a week.

I like the photos, Sapper - especially the trains. Tobermory reminds me somewhat of Tobermory in Ontario, the terminal for the ferry that cuts across the entrance to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron. Any lighthouses in the area?

Maybe the person who named the Ontario town noticed a resemblance, too.

sapper - your first pic of Glenfinnan viaduct in the sunshine is excellent - it almost looks like a painting!! They are all good photos but this one really appeals to me.
