Dull and Dreary

Yesterday I visited the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney as I knew a Steam train was running. I was hoping to get a few photos. The day was cloudy with the occasional shower and even more occasional patch of sunshine. The higher into the mountains I went the darker it got. Cool damp weather does produce good steam effects but it makes photography challenging.

The shots I got were a little disappointing, so I tried converting them to black and white. The results were quite pleasing.

always a pleasure to see 3801 in steam

not my favourite loco, prefer the non streamlined 38s. But any steam is good.
Looking forward to next year when 3642 returns. It will take over the lead role while 3801 gets a much needed major overhaul.

I like the b&w steam shots a lot. Highly atmospheric.
