Default Dorset 2014 - Evening photos

A few pictures of the Showmans engines in the evenings. Most of them were taken around the Carters steam fair area .

Impressive photos, but you must be very short!

Great photo's. Benny is a short ***** like me, however, getting down on one knee is a good trick to make the engines look bigger.

Thanks, and yes Tim I am quite short, but I like to think of my height as just right, not too short that I cant reach high shelves and not too tall that I knock my head on door frames. I like to get down to make the engines look bigger and more impressive like david says.

Joby Carter fenced off his area earlier in the week, when he pulled on he used boards to stop the ground getting churned up. I think he had the only green part of the whole show!

Some nice scenes there, but I do miss the coloured lights (not all coloured, just the odd engine here and there)! Probably alone with that opinion, but I don't care.
