Happy New Year all, I'm well aware I haven't posted for some time, apologies for that if you follow TT.
Something close to my heart means I just had to post a quick link to inform anyone interested in preserving Britain's heritage of this appeal: http://www.class56group.co.uk/archives/2998
Dig deep, if you can, it ain't all about the lump up front!
MGR wagon appeal.
That's That Then
Summer seems to have fizzled out for the best part. After a week of blazing hot weather, it's now much cooler. Shadows had been growing precluding my usual afternoon commute snap anyway, but I took a punt on 4L85 yesterday as the light was neutral. Interestingly the Fred's passage through a rain shower earlier in its journey gives it the look of a recent repaint!
The Great Eastern Freighter
It makes a change, this tour was in our neck of the woods but with money tight negating the opportunity to travel on it, Dad and I took the motor out and chased it instead.
I mostly used the video to record its passage (and will post footage next time I'm on the Mac) but a recent software acquisition on the phone is "Frame Grabber" for Xperia. A super little bit of code, it'll allow you to turn a frame from video into a medium sized jpeg, just the thing with the camera doing its funny business lately!
Harwich
We took the motor out for a drive on Friday, initially for a recce of possible phot locations around Ardleigh in Essex. There's a reason the area is not featured in the enthusiast mags, there are no phot locations!
Undeterred and to make the most of the weather, we headed for Harwich. A town full of history, my main interest was the remnants of the train ferry.
Harrumph, harrumph!
The Xperia is still playing silly buggers, I attempted the phot attached of 4L85 yesterday. Regular readers will note it's in the same location as previous afternoon commute snaps.
I don't know which is more annoying, the fact it's not working properly or that it's inconsistent in which pictures it does it...grr.
