Real Steam Punks

I have been lagging on posting because I am about two weeks out on being a dad and when I am not shooting, I am working on something to do with babies. Not an excuse, but…

I was going through some old photos for a stock request and ran into this story from a while back. My wife is English, so our yearly vacation is spent in the “sunny” UK. We were staying at my father-in-law’s house in Nottingham and he had a couple friends that were going to be part of The Great Rempstone Steam & Country Show. Now, not being from England and not being a a train/tractor nerd (I am a complete nerd nonetheless), I had no idea what this was and what was in store for me. All I can say is Amazing. I have never seen a group of people so excited to be inhaling coal dust. Most of the train looking things were old tractors and it seemed like we had stepped into a time warp and gone to a farming fair in 1916. The people were as interesting as the machinery that they were taking care of. Anyway, it was a great day and here are some of the photos.
