A picture taken at the Blandford Steam Fair. Now and again you have a slice of luck, as when this policeman came into view. Attempts at digitally transferring him to another background were abandoned in favour of changing the background in the original picture. The Great Dorset Steam Fair is an annual show featuring steam powered vehicles and machinery. The fair was founded by Michael Oliver, and has been held in Dorset, England, every summer since 1968, currently at Tarrant Hinton near Blandford Forum. It now covers 600 acres and runs for five days from the Wednesday after the UK August bank holiday. It is reputedly the largest outdoor show in the world. The most common exhibits are traction engines, tractors and farm machinery, but also included are preserved railway engines, cars and commercial vehicles, and shire horses. The show also has a market, autojumble, live music and funfair (some of which is powered by the steam engines). |
