A head of steam.

Dunedin Railway Station.

Traction engines tend to be large, robust and powerful, but heavy, slow, and have poor manoeuvrability.
Nevertheless, they revolutionized agriculture and road haulage at a time when the only alternative prime mover was the draught horse

A beauty of an old machine. Very good processing and the mono suits the subject well.

A fine looking piece of machinery and the setting and mono suits the erea

splendid image of a fine machine. The mono treatment and de-focussing of the left hand half as though it was shimmering in the heat haze created by the heat is masterly. I don't miss the usual green (or red) colour at all

Great angle and pov. Great presentation.

What a well looked after engine he is... You could make up a story about him John - and call it 'Thomas the Steam Engine'...

Terry Sprague		27-Mar-2013 21:14
Nicely done! V
