67005 "Queen's Messenger" locomotive passes through Kings Langley on 4th July 2007 heading southbound towards London. This was taken on my son's still camera - sorry, it was all I had with me!!
A short video describing the process that I used to make the "Enormous Crocodile" story. And before anyone comments - Jupiter does have rings, but Elliott obviously has infra-red vision and sees them better than the rest of us. He said afterwards that he meant to say Saturn!
