Pictures from the exhibition: Letting off steam


From a station (yesterday) to a train today....

I think this is the train photo Cranberry Morning was referring to in her comment a week or two ago.  It was taken this time last year at a KWVR Steam Gala Weekend.  The engine let off a rush of steam before setting off on its journey up the valley.  The scene has a timeless quality.  The low sun was so bright that I could hardly see what I was photographing - but sometimes you just get lucky!

    Sometimes you are just plain clever. This looks like a shot out of an old movie.

    That is iconic! I'm all in favor of luck, but don't minimize your own talent. "Chance favors the prepared mind." (Louis Pasteur). Jim

    Oh, that brings back some memories! Like the golfer Gary Player used to say "The more you practise, the luckier you get!"

    A fabulous capture Jenny - the B&W emphasises its timeless quality. Well snapped. I'm not convinced luck had anything to do with this result: when preparedness and opportunity come together, amazing things occur! Thanks for sharing this wonderful inclusion in your exhibition.
