HydraCon: From Idea to Final Draft with James Harris from Writer's Block North East

Sat 23 Aug | 2pm

A historical scene of an early steam locomotive travelling along railway tracks through a countryside setting. In the foreground, there are two observers wearing period clothing and hats, possibly from the early-to-mid 19th century, watching the train pass by. One appears to be holding a child. The steam locomotive has the distinctive features of early rail technology, including a large smokestack emitting smoke, a cylindrical boiler, and visible wheels. There's a person visible on the train who appears to be the engineer or operator. The landscape includes rolling hills, mountains in the background, and a mix of green fields and wooded areas, creating a picturesque rural setting. The sky is partly cloudy with blue patches visible. This painting seems to represent an important period in transportation history, likely depicting one of the early passenger or freight steam trains that revolutionised travel and commerce during the Industrial Revolution.
