I claim a total of four points, please. (I won’t grumble too much if I get three though :wink: )

Not too much grumbling then, please.

We have discussed this picture and consider that anyone looking at it without being told exactly where the tiny bit of semi-visible railway is would not consider it to show road river and rail under the bridge.

So just three points for you @JoeC

Did about 200 miles today for the challenges. Then just started driving and by chance drove past this. HIT THE BRAKES… Quick jump out and grab before someone comes out.

Edit (looking closer at picture just, I did not see the car door open). Lol someone may have seen the drone.

Regarding this one ( as trying not to get it wrong )

Bonus for two trains in motion in the same picture one steam & any other motive power yep ok, how are you going to determine ( I’d say more a normal powered one ) not the steam engine, as its not a video I’m guessing your take our word that that these are in motion / moving ? Am I correct as I don’t want to be getting crossed wires if I can help it :+1:

Thats fine. We really do want the original jpg if available because the resolution is so much higher. It makes it easier to see some of the bonuses which people insist on leaving in the distance :slight_smile:
