From a carriage.

I was sat on a train to London last month listening to music, when a song came on called "Dreams of leaving" and my mind started wandering about why people were going to London. The song is quite Dystopian really, so I took a few photos, which in my mind fitted the song. It also filled sometime using an app I have that can take multiple shots over a period of time that you set at whatever shutter speed you want and merges them into one RAW image.

That, believe it or not, hasn't been through the arty bollocks generator.

Thanks to Mike for the hint.  I really enjoy watching carriage trials but they are rarely advertised outside the participant peer group and coming across one in progress is happenstance.  This photo from a trial incorporated in the Devon show  (2018) and shows more of the carriage than usual - looking through the pictures on Flickr I seem to prioritise a front view of the horses.

From the first time I saw a carriage trial in progress. I've not seen fours again - only pairs.    This was posted in APForum about a year ago but dates from July 2011.

The nicest train carriages I have ever been on. Also the best train journey ever.

The sort of photo my grandma used to take. She nearly always missed off the top part of our bodies!

My step-mother was the same!
