A turn for the cold

I reckon I walked about 8 miles altogether today over treacherous roads and pavements. I nearly fell about a dozen times. When I came back I found that yesterday’s picture of the train had got to #10 on Flickr Explore, which means it made fleeting appearances on the front page and has got favourited to within an inch of its life. I’m well chuffed…

Anyroad, this one is from West Moreland Park (I think). It was deserted because if you had moist hands you’d probably stick to the metal. I spun the roundabout a bit, went for a tiny aperture, user the polariser filter and managed to hold it steady enough an eighth of a second exposure or so to get the varying degrees of blur.

I’m happy how it turned out.
