I'd forgotten where the photo came from, so went into exhaustive research mode using dates, my travel blog and goggle, and decided it was Glenmark Station. If only I'd just looked at the photo I would have seen it was the station at the other end of the line, i.e. Waikari. Not sure if I can edit the title of my entry - I shall give it a go.Linda Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-80190952019281166942016-12-12T23:39:47.752+00:002016-12-12T23:39:47.752+00:00Linda, your piece is so beautifully balanced and c...Linda, your piece is so beautifully balanced and composed - brilliant job.

I had to move a lot of lines to get things to line up correctly. As for the transparency, trial and error, and a lot of crossing my fingers.Linda Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-28964194639136243862016-12-01T23:46:53.804+00:002016-12-01T23:46:53.804+00:00That was very tricky!

I tried to to do something similar with my viaduct, but it just looked too messy, so I chickened out and just made it straight on.
