Prospect Tunnel

[kev7d]

It was some time ago since I took these. A friend of mine got permission from the land owner to take a walk through this old unused railway tunnel near Harrogate. So wellies on, and off we went. We had a couple of flashlights with us. It was pretty grim and very wet but great fun.

 

Not too far from the entrance.

 

 

 

It is quite a long tunnel.

 

 

 

Wires are still attached to the wall. A reminder of how signals were operated mechanically before the current electronic push button world.

Love #2 Kev.

Thanks Martyn. It was a good bit of fun going through the tunnel.

Nice set but number two has great DOF and atmosphere......

Nice set Kev but no2 is the star.

Thanks both. And I agree with you about number 2.

I absolutely disagree. Number 1 to me is an absolute stunner. The symmetry of the reflection and the semi-abstract composition is quite superb.

#2 - that light coming through the entrance (exit?), just brilliant.

Mind you - some love for #3 as well, from me!

Thanks Phon. It was a good adventure.

I,m with Chris Kev, its number one for me for the reasons Chris mentioned.

Much appreciated Ron.

An interesting set of images - all the better for being in mono, very nice.

 

I'm in the camp that thinks number two is the one!

To me, they are all great, all have been processed in a very thoughtful way, perhaps with the first having the edge.

Next time you get permission to walk through, have a couple of mates do the same from the other end.....but...lit will be you with the ....Stereo Recording of an express train;-)

Both are really very good and have their own merits, I cannot pick one from the other

Thanks FUJI. I won't be going back in a hurry. I was pretty wet and muddy when I got out of this place. Some huge puddles in there deeper than my wellies. :)

That was certainly a walk back in time, I love all the shots but if I had to choose, it would be no 2.
I can just imagine how it must have felt walking through the tunnel.

I am very nostalgic when it comes to stuff like this. I can't help thinking what it would have been like when in use.

Thanks Tina. I enjoyed walking through the tunnel although it was hard going at some points. I took the images more as a memory for myself than anything. It was good to see the old unused cables. I like the second one myself. I like the feint cob web in the bottom right corner of the frame.
