Hello and welcome to my Fotopic Site.
My interest in Railways dates back to the 60's and after drifting in and out of other pastimes the Railway bug took over again in the early 90's.
After years of taking photos (the old fashioned way) my son David encouraged me to go Digital, and I bought a Pentax K100D Camera.
Please feel free to have a look around and I hope you like what you see.
Any comments would be most welcome.

 | 6th Mar 2010 | Knutsford & District Motor Club - Tour of Cheshire -
While out taking railway photos, we came across this event taking place around the country lanes in the Cholmondeston area.
As Rallying was a previous pastime of mine, this was to good an opportunity to miss for some shots.
After photographing these classic cars and then stopping off for a bite to eat, we made our way home, only to come across the Rally again by chance.
This time they were exiting a stage from parkland in the Aston/Whitchurch area, so out came the camera again for some more shots.
The photos of these well maintained cars working hard was only half the story, the sound and the smell from these vehicles really brought back the memories.
