This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is Toys.
I had a few ideas for the challenge before thinking of my photos from a steam fair in Cheshire, England in the 1980s. Taken early one morning, the exhibitors were either lighting the fireboxes of their machines or were giving them a final polish. There’s four people polishing various parts of this steam roller.
Big boys and their big toys.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a steam fair here? That’s pretty cool! Well done, David!
Thanks, I Googled it and apparently the fair is still going although it looks a lot bigger than it was 30 years ago.

I’d like to see this with my own eyes…
I just found quite a few videos on YouTube by searching for ‘Cheshire Steam Fair’
I’ll have to do likewise. Thanks for the suggestion.
