Glimpses of brightness on a gloomy day

These dark afternoons are beginning to get me down already. I must start going out first thing in the morning when the light is better.
Anyway, have decided to post some images of the disused Kenilworth-Berkswell railway line I took today.
Mainly because its just over the road.

I have jumped in with both feet and entered the first 2 pics into a monthly competition on the photo blog I have left the link for.......nothing ventured.

The next ones are just autumn shots in the same location.....without the people
