For 7DOS - the cross of St George. From my archives - this photo was taken when I visited the site of the Battle of Naseby.

The observation park, located on Old Post Road in Grand-Pré, was created in tribute to the local communities who supported the inscription of the landscape on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012.
From the observation park on Old Post Road in Grand Pré, you can see the memorial church of the Grand Pré National Historic Site. Looking north, you will see the vast dykelands of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that hold back the high tides of the Bay of Fundy. Further north of the causeways is Long Island and, in the distance, the Blomidon Cliffs. To the east and west, causeways protect the agricultural landscape.

Someone in the neighborhood hung a Croatian flag on their house to celebrate Croatia reaching the soccer World Cup finals.
When we moved to a new location at the wye at Speer, we watched the excursion train pass through the wye in order to reverse direction and back into Cheyenne and got to watch it at slow speed. If you ever need location and time of the train, simply ask one of the several fellows with a hand walkie-talkie next to you; you'll get more info than you ever wanted. I noticed how spiffed it was all Simonized with the helpers and the new flag scheme. I don't know if you need a shot of the diesel helper all spiffed but the new flag scheme on the attached wrinkly metal.caught my eye. The art department worked overtime on that. Here is the shot I like with a slice of #844's tender on the wye. The #844 will be stored in the engine house and out of the sun. I got some of my other shots at the water tank here. They don't much need water - look at the yellow water tank car with the flag back of the tender. Eddie learned they would be heading for Cheyenne with the Frontier Days Special. Duh, same as every year for the Frontier Days Special. I had no idea they would sic the Brillo crew AND the Simonize crew on the train before the excursion. My exposure was darker than expected. The sky was devoid of anything so this marks yet another time I had to get through this on an #844 shot. I don't particularly need the practice as much as others I know! Lately, I prefer to modulate great clouds that I find; as if I hadn't already found some. Here, diesels shepherd the run but not for power (this engine can pull, thank you) but they are used to provide the safety power (dynamic braking - ceramic resisters over the engines burn off the current produced by the diesel traction motors) for the train thus guaranteeing arrival at the destination. And they help handle the yards.
The trailing cars carry dignitaries, crew, passengers and extra brakes on the excursion. This chunk of metal is really valuable at this time in history. I realize that I happen to live in a fortuitous spot and will wait until the next steam up. If it is cooler, steam will leak wherever possible and provide great shooting.
