Steam Locomotive

Steam powered steel wheels,
pushing pistons in cycles
of captured time.

You have a good abstract eye and the heart and soul of a poet. We enter a world composed of reality defused with imagination. Emile. #7

Hi Viv, perhaps my reply should be 'toot, toot' It's a great little railway... the Talyllyn, and I have spent many a happy hour traveling its length, and walking in the hills nearby.

Thanks Andrea, it always amazes me where these images come from... they sort of pop into one's head and just feel right :) Bright blessings.
