Flying Through The Golden Valley

Better late than never the Flying Scotsman came through Darnholm. Over an hour late on its second trip along the line of the day we stood, stood and stood some more waiting for it to come through. Beautiful light kept illuminating on the valley lighting up our compositions as it went, but clouds rolled in making us fear that there would be no light when the train eventually came. Thankfully however it did eventually come and so did the light as it popped through lighting up the valley with golden light hitting the dying ferns as the Scotsman came through. A bit of luck and good timing made the hour long wait worth it as everything came together in the end.
