A last one from the south end of the Up platform at Corfe a week yesterday. Sorry to miss last weekend's Steam Gala but I had business in Brizzle.

I also managed to capture the freight train, after having missed it last time.

30 years ago I visited #corfecastle & was mesmerised by the beauty of the area. Here’s a #robinhamilton #olddogs group ride in the area. The #purbeckbimble -any experience of bike riding in the area? Can you go on the ferry without a car ie just with your bike? 💚🚲
There's plenty more to come from this event here on these socials.

This morning my #art practice took me to #Dorset for the second in my #BritishCastles series of miniature #watercolour paintings - a view of the striking ruins of #CorfeCastle. I'm using a different brush and paper, and the results are a lot more 'watery' which I quite like...

A railway line looking into the distance. At right, an upper quadrant home signal in the off position. At left, a green Bulleid Pacific facing away from the viewer.
Another shot from Sunday, from a viewpoint of "sitting on the platform ramp" at Corfe. Fractionally better light on this side. #SteamRailway #Railway #SpamCan #CorfeCastle
Balanced on a fence and levelled with a paper napkin, Jon's phone does a bit of video while he takes some stills.
That snatch of music at the end of the video? People paid £45 to sit in a special coach and listen to that. And they couldn't see out of the […]

This took us through Corfe Common and into some really nice, but very hilly countryside, with some very nice views.

After experiencing Inspiration earlier on in the day, we went for a little walk heading south out of Corfe Castle.

Was definitely cool to experience, even if it was a bit crowded at times.

I tried to capture as much as possible from the train and the various experiences inside.

Bournemouth seafront was windy 💨 and sandy. But it was good to finish in the New Forest 🐴🌳, even with a rough night ahead ⛺.

Watch the video here: 👇
Pip, the golden retriever is sitting in the centre of the photograph facing towards you. It’s a bright sunny day and his fur is shining; it’s dark gold on his back shoulders and the sides of his head, but lighter on his legs, chest and face. He is sitting on the platform of a railway station, with a golden–yellow coloured wooden picket fence at the end of the platform behind him. On the opposite side of the rail line in the distance is a hill with a beautiful semi-ruined Medieval castle at the top. The walls appear light grey in the sunlight and are likely to have been built using Purbeck stone. This is Corfe Castle, which was built after the 1066 Norman conquest of England and deliberately destroyed after the English Civil War. The rail line is the Heritage Swanage Railway, which runs a steam hauled service between nearby Norden and the Seaside town of Swanage. Pip has a smile on his face with his tongue hanging out and a friendly expression on his face.
Another photograph of Pip sitting in the same position on the platform at Corfe Castle station on the Heritage Swanage Railway. He is facing towards you and once again has a happy smile on his face a train is pulling into the opposite platform. This is being hold by a large Bullied pacific locomotive 4-6-2 steam locomotive. This is painted in the dark green southern livery of British Railways with a black front to the boiler and a red buffer beam. It is holding a rake of coaches in the same livery. The sky in this picture is more cloudy than in the first picture.
Part of our national heritage: the Golden Retriever! #NationalGoldenRetrieverDay
Oh, and historic #CorfeCastle pictured from the heritage Swanage Railway, too!

Black and white photograph shot from below looking up at a square castle keep. The stone building stands upon a steep scrubby hillside and is in a somewhat ruinous state. The sky is partially cloudy.
