With plenty of smoke to spare, 3664 is seen running through Rayton as the shadows lengthen. The end of another glorious spring day on the Highveld.

No fires please! Plenty smoke but no sparks for the tinder-dry grass at the end of a long dry season, on the approach to Zonkolol.

Hi John, and all

Great pictures. I don't blame Steve Appleton for looking lost - just consider the passengers he had!

My compliments to FoTR for a well executed trip. I am looking forward to next year's tours.

Best regards
