Skew Castle. - a photo on Flickriver

Skew Castle.

            I had a real nightmare trying to get a shot of Clun Castle working yesterdays trip from Bristol to Plymouth, I chose the wrong location and did not factor in the sea haze or the suns position. So after the previous days debacle i decided to go back to basics this morning for the return trip. Seeing that the weather was similar to yesterday evenings i opted for the classic Skew Bridge shot at Teignmouth where the sun would be in the right position and the sea haze would not adversely affect the shot. Unfortunately 7029 ground to a halt on Hemerdon Bank putting her 30 mins behind time and making it touch and go if the Sun would still be in the right position.
Well she rounded the curve onto the sea wall at a fair lick and reached BTM only 5 late.
