I'm partial to very long tunnels on disused railway lines, much like the one at Great Oxendon in Northamptonshire. Quite, quite beautiful with haunting echoes of a bygone era of train-related stuff.

If Dave was to use a Hammond L100 for just one more gig I'd die content.

For anyone with a passing interest in disused railways and what things used to be like years ago, then this site makes fascinating reading: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/

If you slowed down in front of me at a railway crossing I'd shunt you onto the bloody track! (metaphorically speaking) :grin:

As for pylons - I've always loved them.When it rains you can hear them crackle and I love walking into the middle of them and looking up.Oooh,I love a pylon I do! :smt005
