Posted by Stephen Dance on September 6, 2009  Eeee Lad, it looks bleak oop north - a wonderfully atmospheric composition PCA vote here Posted by Steve Armitage on September 6, 2009  Thanks for your comment Stephen, I was looking through my 60's negatives recently and noticed that good, clear, sunny weather seemed more of a rarity back then, or did I just have bad luck? The exhaust from both the 9F and from Ravensthorpe power station's chimney (left distance) would indicate a stiff north-easterly wind instead of the prevailing westerly that was more usual at this location. Posted by Jeff Sell on September 6, 2009  Steve - What a classic image. A black and white photo of a steam locomotive when steam was still used to labor on the rails. The clouds, the trailing plume of smoke, the factory in the background......nice job! Posted by Dennis A. Livesey on September 7, 2009  We expect a lot from you Steve...and you deliver! Absolutely reeking in atmosphere; I can smell the sulfur and feel the damp. A instant classic. Posted by John Benner on September 7, 2009  Great photo. Great atmosphere. B&W works very well. Please excuse my ignorance, but what does MPD mean? Posted by Chris Crook on September 7, 2009  Man, that is great. Atmosphere with a capitol A.
