Excursion

The little steam engine in Oamaru's historic precinct is giving rides all day round to where the penguin viewing colony is. It is part of the Victorian Celebrations.

Three Good Things:
1. Wish that car wasn't there but the surrounding buildings look good.
2. I'm not worrying about my photos for this event - there are far better ones from others.
3. The rain has still held off!
Love your pov and capture - the car is so unimportant - at first glance I was so enthralled with the train that I was unaware of the car till you pointed it out !

Wonderful old steam train, how great to ride on this.

@happysnaps One would think this but the best place is right behind the engine belching smoke and pulling the toot toot! Not in the carriage.

A wonderful old steam train. I am a bit annoyed by this guy in a suit on the platform - he looks like a bodyguard.

@haskar Yes, I did notice that after too, - I think he might be a spy!
