This sylvan scene (carefully photographed before the trees block out the view) is deceptive - the tree-lined embankment on the horizon carries the M1 and, on this occasion, a 40 mile northbound traffic jam. I'm sure the S&MJ (here looking west between Ravenstone Wood Junction and Towcester) was never that busy.
