Railway and Rainbows

 I have had a busy week planting out my bedding plants in plant pots of various shapes and sizes and styles.
There are many swallows flying overhead which is lovely to see. This morning I had a group of five swans fly overhead. You can hear them approach as the beat of their wings is very loud.

I travelled along the Settle - Carlisle railway. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so some of the photos are not too clear.

The lamp post at Ribblehead looks like something out of the 'Lion Witch and the Wardrobe.'
An historic light

A view looking down into the valley from the Ribblehead Viaduct.
Bleak and wild

Horton in Ribblesdale which way to go?
How many miles 

A former station wagon now a garden planter.
Everything is painted in maroon, the colour of the former Midland Railway

Wooden planks to act as a snow break.
 The planks look like blunt teeth

Can you see the faint rainbow?
Faded beauty

This statue is at Brougham Hall, Penrith.

Not any old toilet.
Are these medieval toilets?

The candelabras on the horse chestnut trees are in flower.
Decked with blossom

The farmers are making silage. The grass has been cut and is drying in the field.
The grass is cut and dried in rows

Can you see the bleached yellow field after it has been cleared of silage?
On a good year farmers can get several cuts of silage
