56105 & 56113 pass a field of ripening wheat at Uffington on 12 July 2014, as they head for South Wales with the 6V62 11:20 Tilbury Riverside to Llanwern steel empties. The day had started sunny (apart from the early fog!), but by the afternoon it was very hazy, and by the time I had walked to this location, it was getting quite cloudy. The prospect of a picture of a pair of Colas Grids at this spot was enough to make me chance the weather. While I waited it was more often cloudy than hazy sun, then suddenly just as this was due, the sun reappeared at full strength, sharply contrasting the bright foreground with the dark clouds. The last thing that I expected, but a very welcome couple of minutes of full sun, and for once I was in the right location at the right time! |
