Not my usual post! I have setup a Printify store here: shop.aubreythomas.uk. Various photos and designs will end up here first, before my Etsy store (will be more curated.) If there are any pictures you would want to buy, shout and I can get them added. Thanks! #ad #store Examples are attached.
Tsuzumi-mon in front of Kanazawa station. This is a large torii made from metal and wood. In front of the torii, there are two trees with green leaves and behind is the main station concourse with metal and glass frontage. This is a view of three steam trains in front of an engine shed at Didcot. One train, 4079 (Pendennis Castle) has smoke coming from the chimney. The sky is blue with clouds.
