Sunny Scenic Swindon

Photos taken around Swindons Railway Works, built in 1843 to build and service GWR steam engines running between Bristol and London.


Expanding over the turn of the century to build ship engines, the works also produced a dozen large howitzers during 1914 for the first world war.


During the 2nd world war it produced gun mountings and tank turret rings, until in 1947 it was producing 60 new steam engines a year.

Locomotive production ended in 1962 and the last works closed in 1986. 

Easter Pics

With some decent weather over the long weekend I managed to get out and about, camera in tow as usual.  First up, two photos of building details in Corsham. One from St Barts church (parts of which date back over 1000 years) and the second taken at the dis-used Corsham train station (closed in the 1960s).



Then on to a long bike ride down the Kennet and Avon canal..

Grey Heron hunting in the light of the setting Sun.

Holy gravestones Robin

Some cool photos of Robins perched on gravestones in Devizes. They like to perch above the ground and dive down, so gravestones make a great (and very photogenic) diving platform!

Nicely lit by the mottled sun shining through the tree their young were nesting in..

St John the Baptist church, Devizes. Built 1130. (50 years after the nearby castle).

St Matthews church nr Midgham, built in the 19th century.

Walking with Wolves

Visited the UK Wolf Conservation Trust at the weekend.. walking through the local woods with captive wolves that serve as hands on ambassadors to wild wolf preservation around the world.

Torak - the European/American cross breed.

Alba, male Amercan wolf, is 10 years old and walks with a stagger since breaking his neck whilst being overly boisterous.

Latea, female American wolf.
