0-4-0 steam loco Elin at Richmond Light Railway. Very black and very shiny

It was very dark inside this tunnel.   Emphasised by the sun coming out outside.

There was a veil of water streaming from the roof to walk through.   Shows up a bit better here.  This is a cycleway as well as a footpath so anyone riding toward the camera would go from bright sunlight to pitch dark and then get a surprise cold shower.

Inside the Koln Dom, possibly the darkest Abbey or Cathedral I have ever been in.

Hand held 1600 ASA film in rangefinder camera, not the best option but the only one I had that day.

The comment on darkest cathedral above made me think of this.  It seems that I did this version in April so probably used it here so it is a repeat post.

This was a real treat. A friend and fellow railway enthusiast took me to Richmond Light Railway in Kent. He's very patience as it takes me a little time to get around these days. Great to see people still care about our heritage

Freddoes by SteveH, on Flickr

OK. I like Freddoes. But it's not a problem, I'm not addicted. I can give them up anytime I want to. Honest...

ETA: Actually bought a number for a different reason. There may be a thread about it at some point.
