That looks like it was an interesting event. Did you catch much explanation of the history behind the shovel?

Of your three shots, I like the middle one most. It's a three-quarter view and to my eye, the more visually interesting.

Great captures - I'm a huge steam buff myself, so you can't go wrong with images like that! :thumbup::thumbup:

No I didn't get any history about the shovel. I was going to try to talk to him after his demo but then they had a breakdown and was busy with that so I left them alone.

Thanks for the comments guys.

tiresiron I looked at your site. Nice photos, love the church photo in Still Life.

When I tried to email you from your site it was returned as undeliverable.
