Santa Special

Week 51 North York Moors Railway, Pickering

Whilst waiting on the platform for our Christmas decorated 'Santa Special' to arrive, I became aware of the strong low sunlight on the engine. Part of the locomotive was in deep shade under the station canopy providing a nice contrast. The fireman got down to change the points, I waited for him to walk alongside the front of the engine, so that he would be silhouetted against the steam that was rising.... Well I like it!
