Boat Train

The Severn Valley Railway's GWR 5101 Class "Large Prairie" 2-6-2T no. 5164 crosses Falling Sands Viaduct on the edge of Kidderminster, as a pleasure narrowboat passes along the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal beneath. It was a real shame the weather that day was so dull, with such flat light and a slate-grey sky, but you don't pass up a juxtaposition like this! I did set colour saturation rather higher than normal, but I thought that was preferable to the alternative drabness.
