Greetings,

Showing ballet pictures over here first i felt like going a totally different way with my next photo posting.

It was early in the morning over here at Brno (Czech Republic) the other day. On my way to my morning rehearsals i noticed a big cloud of steam up in the air and several unusually loud horns coming from the main station.
Taking a closer look i noticed this amazing locomotive idling in the station. It's the first time in my life i stumbled upon a loco like that. Lucky me i had my K5 in the hand and ran over there to take some quick snaps.

It was around 8 in the morning. 6 degrees under zero, verry foggy and hell knows why a whole crowd of nikon guys found there way over there. So my mission was to get pictures from an angle without any other cameras and/or people in my viewfinder.
I decided to get on the rails next to it and take quick snaps from there. Happy with my results in about 30 seconds i decided to quicly ran off to a safer place back on the platform.

Right after some nikon camera guy seemd to like my "risky" idea and decided to follow my tracks. Before he could even get to a shoot position, just that moment the rail police arrived and started to scream the crap out of him.
He Nikon without a shot and me Pentax walking away with a huge smile on my face.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!









Cheers!

All great shots of this Czech beast, love the steamers and you captured them very nicely and the P/P on all is great. What year was this built, I guess in the late 30's or early 40's ? thanks for posting. Bob
