Railway to the top
Photo Information
Everybody takes this shot, I know, but you still have to do it, even if it is a cliché! 
This is my version
The Lynton and Lymmouth cliff railway, a masterpiece of Victorian engineering since 1888. Basically the river fills a tank in the top carriage, the weight of that pushes it down and pulls the bottom carriage to the top, when it gets to the bottom it lets all the water out. Power free cliff lift!

It's your image and your sticking to it!.YES IT IS.Who cares if it was a image"everybody" takes- YOU did a hell of a job here producing a superior image.I esp. like the distant sky and the squiggle of a cable between the vertical tracks in foreground. thanks, tg i

Thanks. Just so we're clear, I just know people that won't take a shot because it's a cliché. That's not me, I always put my style into a shot, doesn't matter to me if it's been done before. Be true to yourself (otherwise what's the point?)
