Two silhouettes, a Saharan dust sunrise, and a world that felt still for a moment 🌅

One of my favourite sunrise moments from this day 2021 which happened to be Easter Sunday.

📍Burrow Beach, Howth Peninsula, Dublin

A look back 4 years and #OnThisDay2021 for #TractorThursday. Hired-in 37521 & 37688 'Great Rocks' heading past an engineers possesion on the mainline at Kettering with #GBRF operated 5Q90 Derby Litchurch Lane to Wembley InterCity Depot moving 720575. #MML 11/12/21

How beautiful is this view? Taken at sunset from Fermoyle Lodge looking across at the 12 bens of Connemara #onthisday2021 ❤️

#OnThisDay2021 #EMR still running a couple of #MML #HST diagrams, 43272 on 1C61 Leeds-STP at Kettering, Colas grid 56094 at Rushton on 6C50 to Toton & an evening bash from Wellingborough to Kettering behind 43274 on 1F74 STP-Leeds seen at Kettering. 25/4/21

Four years ago we still had #HST services on the #MML as well as a couple of direct #EMR services from Leeds to London. #OnThisDay2021 at Kettering I recorded two celeb power cars, 43102 'The Journey Shrinker' & #FlyingTomato 🍅 43238, on the two Leeds-St.Pancras workings 27/3/21

#OnThisDay2021 Given its run out last weekend this is a fitting look back to this day in 2021 when 37240 had a late night test train run from Derby to Kettering & back, arriving just before midnight. 25/3/21 #TractorWatch #MML

A day late #OnThisDay2021 as i forgot to copy & paste the tweet yesterday 🤦🏻‍♂️ #TheJourneyShrinker, @EastMidRailway 43102, approaches Kettering on an overcast afternoon with 1C61 14.31 Leeds to St.Pancras. it seems a long time ago that the #EMR #HST services finished on the #MML. 21/3/21

#OnThisDay2021 My first chance to get an up-close photo of the then newly repainted 43102 'The Journey Shrinker' came on 28/2/21 as she called at Kettering on the rear of 1D46 15.10 St.Pancras-Nottingham. What a beauty she was! #HST #EMR #MML

A late #OnThisDay2021.. no storm four years ago but plenty of the white stuff at Kettering as #EMR 43238 approached the station on the down slow line working 1F39 St.Pancras-Sheffield. #FlyingTomato #MML #HST #OnceAFerrariAlwaysAFerrari 24/1/21

#OnThisDay2021
My favourite tractor, 37884. I’d just got off after a 300 mile dash down the WCML. Willesden PRDC to Carlisle, Orion service bound for Shieldsmuir.

'Twas a dull day but there was certainly no shortage of colour at Kettering #OnThisDay2021 as #Freightliner 🍊 66623 pulls away from a driver change while working 6D49 Tunstead to Luton Crescent Rd. #ShedWatch #WagonTags #YouKnowWhenYouveBeenTangoed #MML 28/12/21

#OnThisDay2021 I was mostly at Corby photting kettles..
7029 'Clun Castle' arrives hauling Vintage Trains 1Z51 13.56 Melton Mowbray to Melton Mowbray via Corby. With Duchess of Sutherland just visible on the rear for the return leg. #HeritageSteam #SteamyKettles 5/12/21

#MailMonday #OnThisDay2021
Day 3 of the Orion Service returning to Shieldsmuir from Willesden PRDC. Seen after the mail transfer at Dallam Royal Mail terminal. Next stop Carlisle where I handed the train over after a 300 mile dash from Willesden.

#ThirtySevenThursday and it's #OnThisDay2021 for this shot of #Colas 37175 passing through Kettering working as 0Z37 from Hither Green PAD back to Derby RTC. #MML 14/11/21
