Challenge 492: The disused railway
I'm indebted to Michael Sinclair for this week's Challenge, which features a rather fine shot of a disused railway line. As you can see, it's now quite overgrown. Michael didn't feel the most was being made of this public resource. What could you do to liven it up? Turn it into a canal, perhaps? Or back into a railway? There must be some good use for a very long, rather narrow tract of land. High res is here.  |

Very pretty, although I think that bench may be a wee bit small!, (compare it to the size of the bridge bricks). |

Re: Challenge 492: The disused railway
I think your right, I have enlarged the bench but feel it now dominates the mid-ground too much. I prefer the original as the eye is led up the tow path to the couple in the distance.
