  1. It is. This track was abandoned in about 1986, so this is 35 x years of growth. There was another track in the foreground, but this was was lifted sometime between 1986 and about 1994.
  2. A nice warm Hampshire afternoon sees this beautiful creature arrive for a fleeting visit!

  7. The River Wey marks the County Boundary between Hampshire and West Sussex about 2 x miles South West of Haslemere in a village called Hammer (named after a long closed Iron works which used the power of the River to drive machinery). The actual River itself rises in Haslemere and eventually joins the other branch of the River Wey at Tilford before flowing into the River Thames at Weybridge more than 30 x miles away to the North East. The River is fast flowing and has been swollen slightly by a couple of days of heavy rain.

  8. Gale force winds are blowing from the West through the Solent and heavy rain isn't far away. An Isle of Wight car ferry still ploughs on through the heavy seas to the Fishbourne terminal on the Island from Portsmouth.

  9. These tracks at Ascot Station in Berkshire used to connect through to the line from Guildford, but when the Station track layout was re-modelled in the 1960s, they became sidings for the berthing of trains on race days at the nearby Royal Ascot Racecourse. The sidings in turn fell out of use in the mid 1980s and nature is well and truly taking over some 35 x years later.

  10. A Silver Birch has grown up through an old disused Station platform at Ascot Station in Berkshire. Although Ascot Station is still very much in use, this Platform has not seen a Train since the mid 1980s. Nature takes over!

  11. Late dusk, and the rain has passed and in the distance a light mist is forming. The light and dark contrasts of clouds, streetlights, and late Sunset combine for an atmospheric scene.

    Double Rainbow

    The storm has passed and the bright sunlight creates a double Rainbow on the rain as it moves away.

  23. The Longmoor Military Railway was an extensive military railway system around the Bordon area of Hampshire until the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before the main railway was built, an old narrow gauge line used to exist for moving military equipment, but this was lifted over 120 x years ago. This is one of the old narrow gauge rails abandoned at that time which is shown by the tree has actually grown around the rail!
