Dawn at the little Sandstone Estates station |
The Lesotho Mountains and the steam emerge as the dawn light strengthens |
The rosy light catches the steam and smoke |
The Train roars closer... |
It thunders by! |
Waiting for the second run. |
Ready for the sun and the train. |
The sun,silhouettes and steam! |
Through the smoke. |
Late Summer Morning mists |
The windmill |
The photographers scurry to find a good position across the dam. |
Sun-shafts through the mist and smoke. |
The dam gleams like polished brass. |
The camera's shapes look like strange animals. |
..What everyone has been waiting for...! |
The colours look like an old sepia print. |
The train slips back to gather steam. |
Capturing the scene. |
Hurry up and wait.... |
Winter Morning Steam |
The restored Barclay gathering steam. |
Antique machinery awaits the winter dawn. |
The sun emerges from the Maluti Mountains. |
The antique tractors have seen many sunrises. |
A flock of birds herolds the dawn. |
An antique plough silhouetted. |
Lovely shapes, forgotten purposes. |
A moon-mobile ? - a tractor! |
The Barclay comes rushing back. |
Gathering steam again. |
It looks like a children's toy train. |
The sun rises higher. |
Steam Silhouette |
Steam!! |
Trapped smoke. |
Going to get water. |
The Water Tank. |
Smoke patterns. |
The Puffing Billy. |
The Spectators - a ground squirrel and photographers. |
This little chap loved the trains as much as we did! |
