At the remains of Gatehouse Station in Galloway, three Scottish rams rest quietly among the grass, sedge and pines. Once a stop on the Portpatrick railway line, the station has long since fallen silent, reclaimed by the surrounding landscape.
The rams share a moment of peaceful companionship before winter brings the breeding season and their quiet truce gives way to rivalry.
The title reflects both kinds of waiting: a forgotten station waiting for trains that will never return, and three rams waiting for the season that will change them.
Gatehouse Station holds many childhood memories and remains a deeply special place to me.
