It’s Friday again. It’s been a busy week with 19 images posted in my last two blogs. So, time for something simple and short for today.

This image was shot from the window of a speeding Eurostar train two years ago – probably at close to the maximum speed of 186mph as I sped back across France after a ski trip. So of course it was blurred, that was the idea – an experiment capturing blurred rails. At the time I was playing with the camera, just to pass the time. Back home, a bit of Photoshop fun employing the Twirl filter, and this is the image I derived.
The End of the Line – a metaphor, perhaps, for how some of you may feel as you stagger toward the end of the week. Has your brain hit the buffers? Have you reached the end of your patience/energy/creativity? Time to park ‘work’ and enjoy some R&R over the weekend. Have a good one.
Haha – great image Andy, with a touch of humour
Many thanks for commenting, Paul
Wasn’t sure what this was and would never have guessed Andy. This is a killer shot – very creative. Absolutely love it.
Thank you Ken. Glad you liked it. The product of a winter’s evening messing around in Photoshop.
What a great creation Andy! I would have never guessed it started as a rail line.
Many thanks Curt. I admit – it doesn’t look much like a railway line, although you can just see the blurred ghosts of the sleepers across the line.
WOW!!! What a fun image. I would frame that.
Thanks Ken. actually it is framed at home, but not at the moment hung on a wall!
Great image. Very creative!
I absolutely love this image Andy. Very creative. This would look beautiful on a wall.
Many thanks, Edith
I am totally with Edith on this one! Those colors and tones are awesome, and until I read your post in detail I had NO idea what we were looking at! This is a great example of the magic of photography!! Great picture, Andy.
Thanks so much Toad. It’s what I do when the TV is boring! Doodle in Photoshop. Glad you like it – these work best when the end result suggests a title.
Just reached the of my week, trouble was it lasted 26 days.
