These views down the tracks were taken along the stretch of the Kent & East Sussex Railway that approaches Bodiam station. For any children reading, before I went on the tracks I checked to make sure the railway was not being operated on that day. I still kept alert for signs of train whilst I was taking these photos. Always safety first!
I’ve always liked photographs that show tracks disappearing off into the distance. The rails draw your eye into the picture and perhaps make you wonder where the tracks lead. In the top image the rails go up a slight incline and bend off to the right. I thought that converting the image to black and white, but leaving the rusted tracks in colour would make an interesting image.
The second image ends at the road gate. Facing into the sun, the colour of the tracks wasn’t as defined so I left the entire image black and white.
Both of these views down the tracks can be seen full size on my Flickr page.
