Week 28 : Unsightly

Unsightly grey boxes and general railway clutter spoiling my view of Black 5 'Sherwood Forester' exiting Blea Moor Tunnel on the Settle-Carlisle Railway today.

Thanks for the explanation as I didn't see anything unsightly in the steam engine :)
 
Nice train and from the angle & distance the pic was taken that looks like quite a bend coming up,
and as a huge fan of blea moor tunnel that white stuff is unsightly :)

Hahaha - thanks :)
 
The boxes might be unsightly but still a great shot Dave.
 
I feel you pain. Especially as someone who doesn't clone things out of images. Too much modern detritus around ;)

Pretty Wings - a female southern hawker at RSPB Leighton Moss.

Lovely puff of steam from the loco emerging from the tunnel.

The dragonfly is a beauty! Excellent capture showing all of it in focus and amazing detail in the wing structure. :clap:

Many thanks Graham :)
 
Lovely detail, wings look so delicate. We visited butterfly world, Anglesey, a couple of weeks ago and they had lots of signs - don’t touch!

Week 30 : Windows

Another Hawker - this time the wing of a MIgrant Hawker. Lots of windows.

Very original! I also admire your patience - they never seem to stop anywhere when I watch them.

Thanks Paul. :)
 
I'll post this comment in the correct thread this time! (I usually catch that mistake within minutes but it took me hours this time :( )

Amazing detail and a great idea for the theme. Very well done.`
 
Great detail and focus on the wing, pretty sure you will have the most windows for the theme

I've never heard them referred to as windows before - but they certainly are.

As Paul said - I've never had much success with trying to get anything decent of an insect so kudos for that alone.

Catching up on my comments. Don't know where the time went...

Two great closeups Dave, I particularly like the shot of the Hawker wing. It has a fascinating structure.
