(the last one is of correct orientation - the acrobatics they did with the helicopter was really impressive, I regret the camera couldn't keep focus when recording movie)

Abingdon Air and Country Show 2013
Unusually weather for long weekend was really good, so I was looking forward to visiting this show for the first time. However the 4 year old, whom this day out was dedicated for, decided that he doesn't like airplanes any more and doesn't want to go there. So we anly had a glance from nearby road, which appeared located conveniently at the approach to the runway. So no show, but plenty of planes and opportunity for some shots:

Great Western Main Line
Beautiful Saturday afternoon spent exploring locations along Great Western Main Line between Groove and Uffington - very nice spots indeed, expect more photos from over there in the future.
Ubiquitous - as of now - class 43 HST may seem boring, but soon (if electrification goes as planned) will be memory only - as were the clouds from Didcot power station cooling towers, now leaving the sky intact.

For a change - duo of Class 66

Occasionally over weekends the silence of sleepy Abingdon is disturbed by buzzing sound coming over the river. That means at nearby circuit in Culham there is a moto-cross day.
This sunday the weather was exceptional, so I decided to pay a visit and see what is going on - it was quite interesting actually, and definitely photo-challenging:

Sudbury (Suffolk)
Hope for anything else than work during trip to Sudbury was somehow turned down by the single-platform terminus I found there, though as it serves its purpose, and well - thumbs up!

Abingdon Xmas flood
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas"...
Well this year that period was exceptionally grey and with the amount of rain (instead of snow), river Thames flooded quite extraordinarily:
