43174 Baulking 3 February 2019

The last winter of HSTs in the Vale of White Horse, after a reign of over 42 years. 43174 passes a snow covered field near Baulking on 3 February 2019 with the 1A13 09:46 Weston-super-Mare to Paddington GWR service. Although the pristine snow makes an excellent foreground for the picture, I was looking for a different vantage point, so I decided that the branches of these two oak trees would make an excellent frame for the scene.
