As the nights draw in ...  all taken at dusk or later.









They're far and wide - and some are quite tricky. One of them is Melksham, of course, but where are the others?

Please, as my brain is rather numb right now, can I just claim number 2 as Melksham?  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

It is indeed at a USA airport - one of the few to have a rail rapid transit system to go into the airport, although the rides to downtown all serve the intermediate suburbs too very much like the underground does from Heathrow.
