This exercise is proving to be a lot more fun that I thought it would be, not a chore at all and is stretching my photographic range to enable me to fulfil the various themes. Never go anywhere without my little point-and-shoot Panasonic these days!
2012 has 52 weeks... ...and for each one, I'll post an image based on a set theme

A single stationary train car in front of the old station building that now serves as a gallery, in the middle of town, was the basis of this image. I found an old photo of a country scene that works well as a perfect foil for the 'train' rushing through at twilight - four layers in dimishing sizes, treated with motion blur and slightly reduced in opacity to further give a sense of speed. The sky looked a bit bland when I finished so I added a few early evening stars - that's the North Star on the left, the brightest one, in case you didn't guess...
