Ribblehead Viaduct in Fantastic Light at the Ending of an Era. 8 September 2022

British India Line crossed Ribblehead Viaduct at 6:15pm 8th September 2022 minutes before the BBC announced the death of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Some fantastic cloud formations and light through the viaduct after what had been a very wet morning.
Posted as my memory of the moment and as my tribute to Her Late Majesty

Those clouds seen through the viaduct are a real work of art. That would make an awesome framed print

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks! I really have been surprised how well they turned out.

A momentous event to capture Les, and a very fitting tribute to Her Majesty. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Art

This is one of those events in life that we will all remember where and when we heard the news. Ribblehead is a beautiful location that you will always associate with this momentous news. The timing could hardly have been better for you.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks David. That was very much my thought, although when I took the shots little did I know. But the sky must have known. It was when I started to drive away I heard the news

Thanks Tim

[@GricesGrowlers]

Very moving xx love that place Les ❤️

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Paul, the photos especially turned out to be appropriate

A very nice tribute Les, well shot. The weather gods seem to have been kinder to Ribblehead than they were to either Appleby or Carlisle.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

It had been horrendous for most of the day I believe. I got up there about 5 and the change was dramatic.

Thanks Digger

[@drdoolittle5724]

Brilliant Leslie, all we need now is somebody in control to organise Princess Elizabeth to bring the Royal Train down from Aberdeen bringing Her Majesty? Anyone know how on earth that could be organised?

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

With great difficulty I think. The loco is waiting for a boiler repair isn't it?

[@drdoolittle5724]
