Shed Scene

A further view alongside the engine shed at Wankaner Junction in Gujarat. I was made very welcome on my visit here and everyone crowded round while I did a drawing inside the shed.

Love this John. I guess that India is one of the few places left in the world where you can still see working steam trains.

  They do still occasionally run preserved steam on the main line, and there are still the mountain railways which are steam hauled. Nothing left on the metre gauge though.

Very nice, I love the way the train lines line up with the pillars and draw my eye to the portrait, also the steam and smoke add drama to the scene. Very nice my friend 🙂
Regards
Mark
