The Polar Express

Written by Gwyn Fisher 68 Comments

This shot was a happy accident. I was walking along the railway track and saw a light in the distance coming out of the blizzard, gradually it became obvious it was the train I saw stationed there t’other day and it was belching out steam and making a fair old racket. As it went past, Santa (the American Father Christmas) leaned out and all in all it was a pretty special moment.

I am extremely happy about all the snow that arrived today…

    Thanks for your thoughtful comment. The original shot was a little off so I straightened it in post. I was nervous I was going to get scalded or something by the steam.

    Jaja, como de verdad… gracias Fer.
