A side-view of a blue steam locomotive running across the square crop from right to left on the far bank of a canal. There is a line of trees behind the train giving a green background. The locomotive has a long sender boiler, a pair of front axels with smaller leading wheels, and a pair of axels with bigger driving wheels behind those. There is a separate coal tender, in the same blue, behind the cab. The running board is painted red, and there is yellow detailing along the edges of the panels. The loco’s number, 171, is painted on the side of the cab in yellow, and the tender has an intricate mostly white crest with the letters C & N, painted in yellow, before and after the crest.
A landscape view looking down a rural canal crossing the scene at a little bit of an angle from lower right to upper left. A paved towpath runs into the distance on the near bank, while a blue steam locomotive approaches on the far bank pulling a burgundy red brake van and a rake of cream and blue carriages. Threes line both sides of the scene, with the parallel lines of the path, canal, and train converging towards the left. The sky above is overcast with dramatic grey clouds.
A landscape view looking down a rural canal with a dark green railcar-train with a yellow front approaching on the far bank. The canal is in a deep cutting so the train and our point of view are high above the water level. The sky overhead is covered in dramatic grey clouds.
A closeup of a tight cluster of hundreds of small white flowers on the tip of a low tree branch. The little individual blooms have five round petals, and a ring of light-coloured stamens at their center. The tree’s distinctive leaf fronds are visible arranged around the blooms. Each frond is long and gently tapering with a handful of jagged stretched-oval leaves arrayed in a fern-like pattern, with the leaves getting smaller towards the tip. A single leaf perpendicular to the others protrudes from the tip. A well mowed lawn is visible below in soft focus.
