Very miniature - only a few badland hills - still an interesting area to wander through... Being mid-October very quiet, had the place to myself...
My weekend road trip, Calgary to Grande Prairie (northern Alberta) and back, taking a few unorthodox driving routes... And taking extra days on either side of the weekend, to take in a few more sights...

In April, 2019, I visited the Li'l Country Store & Miniature Horse Farm in Ronks, Pennsylvania. I've seen children driving carts pulled by miniature horses.
A beautiful, moonlit miniature castle. Actually pretty big, I think it would have been maybe 5 feet high sitting on the ground. I've always been fascinated by miniatures... I had a dollhouse briefly as a kid, and every time I see one, from a travelling, immensely detailed miniature of the White House to a model railroad to displays like this, I get completely lost in them for a while.
Oops, Victor wasn't manufacturing mousetraps back then! When I got this polymer miniature set years ago, the artist Pat Smith's creations sold very well (and fast) on eBay. When I noticed discontinued listing, I haven't been able to find her anywhere else. So sad about that, Pat even put "blush" on her little mouse's cheeks.
Miniature Mangrove swamp. Fotteyo Muli, Felidhu Atoll or Vaavu Atoll, Maldives. My own desert island - everyone else was snorkelling...
Trago Mills miniature railway station. Getting ready.
The ride is about 1/2 hour and cost £3 per adult and £2 per child. A great treat for children and pretty good fun for adults also. There is the occasional dinosaur to see and a couple of tunnels to go through plus you get to see lots of the other attractions at Trago such as the Go-Carts and garden show areas.
