A picturesque winter scene in the Stroud Valley near Ham Mill, photographed on 17 December 2018. South Western Railway 158890 climbs up the valley of the River Frome with the 2B94 13:20 Cheltenham Spa to Swindon GWR service. This was taken just a few moments before the weak sunshine disappeared behind clouds. The houses in the background are the Bowbridge and Mount Pleasant suburbs of Stroud. I particularly like this composition, with the large oak tree on the left, and the Thames & Severn Canal bridge on the right.
