43147 Compton Beauchamp 14 April 2008

The weak early morning sun has just started to burn off any overnight mist at Compton Beauchamp as 43147 passes with the 06:40 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington First Great Western service on 14 April 2008. The use of a long lens at this location is essential at this time of the morning, as even the shallow cutting and few bushes near the bridge shade the line in the foreground due to the low angle of the sun.
