Fave Photo 2015/CDP Theme Day


South Simcoe Railway, Tottenham 

January 1st is City Daily Theme  Day and this month the theme is "Photo of the Year."

How can  a photographer choose one favourite photo?  Impossible!! 

But this one I do love for many reasons. For one, I discovered this neat Simcoe Steam Railway, a heritage rail that my husband enjoyed visiting several times ( I kid you not! Photographers drag their families along to get the best shot even if it takes more than once or twice or more). And we dragged a few friends along too, even convincing them to take the short journey aboard the train from Tottenham to Beeton!

In B&W

Lately, I have been converting a few B&W photos for a future project. The South Simcoe Railway has made the grade.

  6. Telling a photographer to pick their favorite shot is almost like telling a parent to pick their favorite kid. Impossible.

    You did pick a great one though!

    Have a Happy New Year!

  19. This is one of those that I definitely like in B&W! Just seems to fit the subject maybe? However, I like either version. Love trains for some reason.

  20. Beautiful, EG. The colored and the B+W are both great, in their own ways. I'm not picking!
