What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
15 years ago it was an event at the Statfold Barn Railway in Staffordshire.
ISIBUTU was built in 1945 by W.G. Bagnall Ltd for Tongaat Sugar in Natal, South Africa, and I believe it returned to the UK in the early 1970s.

Throwback Thursday… Dungeness
Flags, Dungeness
Nikon D300, AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR at 62mm, 1/30s, f18, ISO 100
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
17 years ago it was the incredibly interesting landscape of Dungeness in Kent.
The flags fluttering in a very stiff breeze were on the deck of one of the many fishing boats drawn up on the shingle beach.
The building below isn’t entirely typical of the houses at Dungeness, but it, and the Airstream trailer, were very much in keeping with the area.
It’s an area I definitely should revisit!

Throwback Thursday… A walk along the Caledonian Canal
Toby… and Ben
Nikon D100, Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4 AF-D at 34mm, 1/125, f5.6, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
21 years ago it was whatever caught my eye during a stroll along the Caledonian Canal from our holiday cottage in Banavie, near Fort William.
Toby lived in the field between the cottage and the canal and was quite friendly (although not as friendly as ‘Mister Roy’ the cottage owner’s dog!).
I remember hearing a steam whistle as we walked down the flight of locks known as ‘Neptune’s Staircase’ and sure enough, when we were about half along a steam locomotive burst into view… (London & North Eastern Railway class K1 2-6-0 No. 62005 should you be interested.)
