Watching the Steam Train in the Pouring Rain

Our Scotland holiday wouldn’t be complete without seeing the steam train crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct. It was absolutely pouring hard that morning but as the steam train only runs once in the morning we had no choice but to take quite a walk in all our wet weather gear and try and get some reasonable images through the driving rain.

Wow Ann, this is beautiful, and definitely worth the effort of being out in the rain, lots of atmosphere. You must make a book of your photos taken in Scotland.

This is so beautiful, Ann! Love this! You ought to make a big print of it! I think I remember this viaduct from a previous photo of yours. It is just outstanding and well worth getting wet for! V
