I'd been meaning to get some aerial shots of the Llangollen steam railway for a while, it's a familiar sight running alongside the River Dee. I often see the trains from ground level, but I was curious to see how the whole setup looked from above. The valley around Llangollen is always a good spot, especially when everything's green and the Dee is flowing well, so I picked a clear afternoon to get the drone out. Finally got it up, just as a steam train was making its way through. It's always a bit of a gamble catching them at the right moment, but this one worked out, laying out the journey of the train through the valley and along the river.
