Man of Steam

By Richsr
Many thanks for all your comments and to Pete for the HC and Paul for the GEA.
Also thanks to Saeid, Andy, Baz and Ian for there UA very much appreciated.

This is one of the many men involved in getting the iron horse ready to run in the morning, stood checking a value in the cloud of steam, thought it was worth a view

Regards Richard

Very nice shot. I like the way his hair is the same colour as the steam. And he has a quizzical look on his face. I wonder what he's doing with that right hand.
