Train Set


Not the best picture in the world but I'm running out. I went out at the weekend and shot a camera full but some of them were quite good and I ended up entering three challenges. Currently I have a 5.8 in Colour Portrait, a 6.5 in Multiple Light Sources and a 6.9 threatening a 7 in Langdon's Birthday. For me this is bordering on the miraculous. I don't think they'll ribbon but I might get one or even two top ten finishes.

Way to go, great scores. Mine is bombing in yet another personal worst score. I should never have entered but was getting withdrawals and am paying the price.

This shot reminds me of when I was growing up, we had a train which was modelled on a steam engine (a friend of ours used to build models in various sizes all to scale and he had built this one too). It was at a local park which had an animal sanctuary, a pond, a roller skating rink and a Tea room. Probably about 20 or 30 acres or so. My Mom used to work in the Tea Room as a volunteer (charitable organisation received the profits), which made us kids eligible to ride the train for free as much as we wanted to!!!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
