EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Goat's Crossing: An Unconventional Railway Passage at Llangower Station, Bala Lake, North Wales In this evocative photograph taken in the late 1980s, we witness an unusual scene unfolding at Llangower railway station situated along the picturesque Bala Lake Railway line in North Wales. The serene landscape is disrupted by the presence of a man in riding jodhpurs and boots, leading a goat cautiously across the railway tracks. The man, likely local farmer Philip Dunn, navigates the goat through the station, ensuring its safe passage as he keeps a watchful eye on the approaching railway signals. The goat, seemingly unfazed by the railway line and the trains that frequently pass through, follows obediently, its curious gaze fixed on its human companion. The tranquil setting of Bala Lake, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding greenery, adds to the surreal atmosphere of the scene. The railway line, which cuts through the landscape, serves as an unexpected barrier for the goat, but the man's presence turns it into a makeshift bridge. The photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, captures the essence of rural life in North Wales during the 1980s. It is a testament to the strong bond between man and nature, and the lengths people will go to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their livestock. As the man and the goat make their way across the railway line, the approaching trains come to a halt, their whistles silenced, allowing the unlikely duo to continue their journey uninterrupted. This momentary pause in the rhythm of the railway line underscores the harmony between the human world and the natural world, reminding us of the simple pleasures and unexpected joys that can be found in the most unexpected places.
