This image looks east across the Severn Valley from Arley Station on a beautiful Spring day in April.
The station, along with several others, is part of the incredibly authentic, superbly maintained and volunteer-run, Severn Valley Railway.
This third stop, en route between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster, presents parts to the village, Upper and Lower Arley.
Church, Arboretum and Gardens, Primary School and Cricket Ground with dwellings, at the top of the river terrace makes Upper Arley.
Post office and Grocers, Public House and tearooms sit by the splendid River Severn and footbridge.
A lush, rural valley blessed by the magical “toot” of living, breathing steam trains.
Authentic 1940’s rolling stock and immaculately kept stations and public areas make this a splendid way to see this beautiful and famous valley.
Bluebells, suspended in time

Walking through these woods with bluebells and the light shafts, it felt like it was being held in stasis. I quietly took my photos and left. Nearby though, I did see another photographer who was barely containing his delight.

The River Moriston flows eastwards from the col near Loch Cluanie, for thirty miles, to Loch Ness.
The road that follows the glen from Kyle of Lochalsh to Invermoriston crosses the river at Torgyle Bridge.
In this image, westwards, from the bridge, the river flows briskly but silently.
The glassy surface reflects the wooded banks
crisply and starkly.
The old stone bridge patchworked with moss and algae
contrasts markedly with the smooth, mirrored sky on the river’s lustrous surface.
Meadows are farmed on the northern side
and these too, provide a bright spot compared to the valley-long bottle-green commercial spruce plantations.
The whole vista is so tranquil, languid and serene.
One moment on a popular route linking the western seaboard
to the Great Glen, but yet another special one.

Here above the Corrieshalloch Gorge, the main roads divide.
North-West takes us to Ullapool, Coigach and Sutherland.
West and then south is the scenic coastal road that leads to
An Teallach, Gruinard Bay, Loch Ewe, Gairloch and Loch Maree.
Loch Broom (above left) is the last of the archetypal sea-lochs or fjords.
The fertile glacial tills and moraines beyond the sea-loch in-filled the valley with farmland and forest plantations.
As deciduous trees contrast with the regimented conifers, in late October, the yellow and orange tints make for a rich, colourful tapestry.
Several mountain streams converge above the gorge.
Emerging, tumbling, racing and cascading from Corrieshalloch, the River Broom gushes and roars its winding path to the sea, at Loch Broom.

A pano of a typical iconic English Summer day landscape in the shade...who could ask for more?.
Looks quite good enlarged.
