It's hard to get past the sheer mechanical beauty of a steam train. And look at the photo below. It shows how there is a box with a hole at the top in the roof of the roundhouse to carry the steam up and outside.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
Quite delicious, Joan. Trains were such a massive feature in our built environment.
ReplyDeleteThe first image gave me an instant feel of people: of the man shovelling, of the man driving, of the engineer ... like my use of a detail shot to imply the whole ... this shovel shot implies people ... love it.
I guess we've lost that sense of mechanical ingenuity with the digital age.
ReplyDeleteGreat machinery!
