166211 Overthorpe 16 June 1999

A Turbo glint at Overthorpe on 16 June 1999. The setting sun turns 1662111 golden, as it heads south from Banbury with the 20:00 Stratford-upon-Avon to Paddington Thames Trains service. In the background a hot air balloon rises into the evening sky. This picture is taken from the convenient footpath that runs alongside the line underneath the M40 motorway bridge. I used the bridge not only as a frame for the picture, but more importantly to keep the setting sun from shining directly into the lens!
