Chains, Trains, and... er... Auto De Fe?

Today was... an interesting day....




Yes, we went to a wedding, at the little Heritage Village I like! The one with a tiny train station, covered bridge, and circa 19th century villages.

And, PS, a train!


For sake of comparison, I am six feet tall. And that's the "little end" of the steam engine.


[livejournal.com profile] velvetpage wore contacts for the first time in ages.


The girls like the horse and buggy.


I'd work here...


What heritage centre is complete without a rusting lock-up cage in a wooded area?

What a day, what a day, for an auto-da-fé!


That is a nice little cage there. One hopes it was for training grapevines or roses over?

The lovely [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage looks almost bridal in the white, and you're looking fairly formal as well, so I conjecture you were both participating in some fashion other than as general witnesses?

What a beautiful train! When I was a kid one of the many careers I considered (spy, mafia member, astronaut, artist, etc) was that of an engineer on such a train as that.

I just got back from the auto-da-fe!

The auto-da-fe, what's the auto-da-fe? It's what you oughtn't do but you do anyway!

That engine rocks!

I so loved steam engines as a child, and in the last few years am sort've re-remembering this.

You and my husband are united in your love of steam trains. When he was in Austria, he lingered so long in a railyard that finally the engineers offered to (and did) fire up the other train and pull it out of the shed so he could take photographs and generally admire it. He sure loves him a train.
