| A parcel arrived one Saturday morning in August, it contained a shiny new Nikon D70. I must have been tied up on the Saturday as I didn't get to point it anything on rails until the following day!
These photographs were taken whilst getting to know the camera, mostly on a Sunday morning during the Ipswich Tunnel blockade. |

An unusual view of Ipswich station. While the tunnel was closed a walkway was built between the up ends of platforms 2 and 3. It looksl ike the centre road and platform 3 haven't seen much use recently. 1000x665 2004_08_032.jpg |
