A train journey is an opportunity. It’s a time to relax – someone else is doing the driving. There’s time to read a newspaper, book or magazine. Or just ‘chill’ and simply watch the world go by – enjoying the scenery from a different viewpoint.
I always try to find a window seat. As the train speeds up the world close by starts to whiz by in a blur. And I begin to see images within that blur. The rails become lines of colour, the foliage becomes a background wash, the stations a blur of yellow and white. The scenery creates impressions.
Here are a few from my trip down to London last week. The blur you see is straight out of camera – no further manipulation – just a tweak to levels and curves and colour temperature.

Interesting images Andy. I love the colour and line.

The variety is so interesting. We say things like “everything was a blur.” But, as you’re so nicely proved, every blur is different!

Every ‘blur’ is indeed different, Linda. I stare out of the train’s window and see it shifting second by second and wondering when to press the shutter button. It’s a bit of fun with a camera.

These are terrific blurs Andy. And to think I normally doze off in a train.

it’s certainly worth staying awake on a journey, although occasionally I do relax and stop looking for images!
