The old Paddle Car Ferry across the River Dart. Taken from a moving Steam train. I am so pleased this came out considering how much the train was rocking. Couldn't compose the shot just had to hope for the best.

Reminiscent of many happy hols - but look at all those new houses !

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Thanks everyone, I missed the shot on the trip up the line, but caught it on the return journey with the train going to the right and the ferry going left, so point and shoot and hope for the best. More group hugs..:-)
