I’ve said before that the train journey I undertake to go to my office is just about the most glorious you can imagine. It travels along the south coast, from Exeter through Dawlish to Newton Abbott along what has to be considered a spectacular coastline with cliffs of burnished copper. It’s really something.

On a day like today, when the sky is blue, the sun is shining and the cotton wool clouds are skipping across the sky, it’s perfect. There are many occasions when you can’t even see the join between the sea and sky because of the murk and indeed I shot it looking just like that some time ago.

There have also been occasions when the train is being battered by waves as it goes through this stretch – that’s quite a scary one.

The line was built by one of our most eminent engineers, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and it’s a true feat of engineering although its proximity to the sea is cause for lots of cost and concern to our railway authorities. Apparently every year it costs millions to repair and make sure it doesn’t fall into the sea!

I try not to think about that one but to just enjoy its beauty.
