My family went up to see Thomas the tank engine at Greenfield Village this weekend. We all had fun even though the weather didn’t cooperate. I can’t call it a “typical Michigan spring day” because I only experienced rain, sun, clouds, and wind. I didn’t see any snow until the next day.

I had fun taking pictures. I had even more fun after I got home adding filters and effects to them and generally making a gloomy day appear a little brighter. Some might think this is overkill, but I love them.

Steam Tractor

Back in the days when anthropomorphic engines regularly crossed the countryside.

The Depot

The Roundhouse

The Workshop

Train Crane

The gnome that lives under the buffer.

I can picture this flickering as some sort of stop-motion movie you would pay a nickel to watch inside a machine.

You gotta have a caboose…

Vibrant Thomas

An out-of-sight very orange engine, by request of my child.

Sir Topham Hat’s view, or as I like to remember it: Too dang cold to stand outside any longer.

Hope you enjoyed it!
