The Admirer plus the grumpy controller!

The Admirer plus the grumpy controller!, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Hunting Tanzanite in Decm).

LR-17590-PS-BD - Second shot of the two gentlemen hanging around the traction engines, not sure if they had a purpose or are the driver's. The reason for the inclusion is to express how the media and a few seconds of time can twist a story line, plus I loved how the light brightened up the grumpy controller (see one in comments)

Another from the trip to the historic dockyard at Portsmouth and the Dicken's characters for Dickensian Christmas event, many of those taking part in England and across the globe to celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Dicken's writer of Great Expectations, David Copperfield, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and many more including A Christmas Carol. Check out the dickens birthday site for events.
