Further to my last post I upload another version of the street photo upgraded with the magic of Photoshop!

Who needs trains?

Excellent photo. You'd never guess it is N scale.

Great layout, and great to see! My father's family is from Alston (and Nenthall) and you have, indeed, brilliantly captured the feel of the place although the roads should probably be glistening with rain! 😁

Oh, I reckon that cobbled street has a wet look about it

Would you prefer the photoshopped sky to be a lowering dark grey then?

Strangely enough, I've been to Alston twice, both in my yoof, and had a couple of beers there. First time it was grey skies, but the other was sunny blue skies!
