Looking east at sunrise along the old railway line between Lubenham and Market Harborough, in Leicestershire, England.
The old Rugby and Stamford Railway line was opened in 1850, but was later closed as part of the Beeching cuts in the 1960s. The combination of clay soil and being shaded by trees means that the old railway line is often quite damp in places, and can fill with large puddles after rain.
