A Journey Has To have A Start

6.30am I’m standing on the platform at New Street station Birmingham waiting for my train to Shrewsbury from there I caught the Arriva train through the middle of Wales, it stops at every station and takes 4 hours there and 4 hours back. I took hundreds of photographs which turned out really well despite the only way you can take a photo of the passing countryside from a moving train is through the window so unfortunately you get some reflection.

Photo Number: 147-365 Year2

Date Taken Wednesday 26 May 2010

This Time Last Year:

I have never seen anything like this, the dogs owner throws the tennis ball in the water the dog goes and gets the ball then releases it, then stalks it as it floats slowly down the river as if it cant understand how it moves and this is repeated, at one point he was down on all fours in that typical sheep dog style but as I moved closer to take the photograph he became very aware of my three dogs and would no longer play ball.
