Dramatic lighting at Uffington on 7 July 2011, as 43194 speeds westwards with the 1B22 10:15 Paddington to Cardiff Central First Great Western service. It is a long walk to this location, made more difficult on this occasion by the nearly head height oilseed rape plants virtually obliterating the footpath. Naturally I had not come all this way on what is clearly a very dodgy day weather wise, purely for another picture of a HST. I had decided it was the best spot for the steam special, but thought it would be merely a record shot, as there seemed very little prospect of any sun. However, just at the right moment there was ten minutes worth of sunshine with black clouds in the background, before the inevitable rain.
