A Smile For the Tourists
Copyright ©2008, Chris Cooke HoF ♥ ¤1
I was going to call this "Miserable Weather", but you can't really see the rain on this version.
Perhaps I should have posted my other version first.

One of those cases where caption and image elevate each other.

I counter Ferd's comment with the belief that (as Ansel said) images can not be contained in words. This is worth a thousand words. I always love your exploration of steam power, and this is yet another (and a very good one at that) to convey the glory of the past. Thanls again for sharing this one.

This picture does speak a thousand words and I have met grumpy old men like this before. Very nicely done Chris. I think the title does enhance the image so maybe this is a thousand and five words.

Looks like he needs to let off steam... maybe he can ask the train driver if he can pull the whistle!

Hardly a smile. Miserable sod. Nice shot though and well framed.

Thanks for the kind words guys I'm pleased it amuses you.
Actually Horst, since this was taken in Fort William Scotland I think he's what's known as a "dour Scot". Out current Primeminister is often described as such!

Oh, I see ...
and if this is a typical scot, I do now understand the article of Andy McLean about "Photo Essays?" :-)))))

I have come back to this one several times and every time it causes me to chuckle. Now this is quite an achievement if this works again and again.

This came up while I was still under the impression I couldn't log on to MFT I liked this the moment I saw it. The expression is priceless especially matched with that title. Very well seen and taken. Love it!!!
