Rather worn out by the time I had reached this part of the field.
So I was more looking to finding somewhere to sit, than stand and take many pictures.
Next year I will have to look at hiring a mobility scooter.

I did crop on the sides a little, but that is all. No other changes to the picture.
This picture was taken with a reversing ring and a 70-200mm Albinar lens on a Sony Alpha in manual mode. The lens was about 17-18 inches from the coin.
I really would like to read how other people arrived to there result.
This token is from Las Vegas Flamingo Hilton Casino. The building on the coin is the original Flamingo hotel built by the gangster Bugsy Segall. This is how the present day Las Vegas was started. In the casinos they don't use coin operated machines any longer.

The Canadian Tulip Festival / Festival Canadien des Tulipes in Ottawa the capital city of Canada
The Canadian Tulip Festival began after the Second World War, when Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs as a token of friendship in 1945.
Canada had provided asylum for the Dutch royal family during the war and played a strong role in the Netherlands’ liberation. While the royal family sought refuge in Ottawa, Princess Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet on January 19th 1943 at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The Canadian government temporarily declared the room “Dutch soil,” to ensure that the Princess would remain in line for the throne.
The Netherlands continues to give Ottawa 20,000 tulip bulbs every year.
Ottawa’s first Canadian Tulip Festival took place in May 1953 and opened with an inauguration ceremony at Parliament Hill.
The Canadian Tulip Festival has grown into the largest annual display of tulips in North America.
The Canadian Tulip Festival is also a celebration of the return of spring, with over a million tulips in 50 varieties blooming in public spaces across the National Capital Region.

My favourite image of the day as 34007 Wadebridge rolls the Pines Express off the viaduct , Fireman with the token out to exchange as the signalman gets into position . All taking place as snow steadily falls .
I've cropped the footbridge to exclude the gallery and removed a lime green bobble hat in the first carriage as well as a little desaturation of the colour for effect
I should also say I had my youngest in my left arm at the time whilst composing with the camera in my left and being aware of 80072 bearing down behind me
