With proper obedience training, you don't need rope.
Shot during a picnic lunch today in a park in Maryborough while visiting my youngest Brother and Sister-in-law.
These rails are supposedly used by a small steam engine for tourists run by the local council. Being a public holiday, we weren't in any danger of it running.

clever!
You mean, this one? ;) I have heard that EDI Rail use that line to transfer locomotives from the factory to the interchange at Maryborough West, but I am yet to get a simple answer out of anyone.
I love Queens Park. It looks AMAZING in the springtime and complements the historic facades of the courthouse and the surrounding precinct.
Run boy, the train is coming!
Nice shot dave, kids can sleep anywhere.
Lovely work the B&W works a treat. I was in Maryborough for work last week nice place
hope the train wasn't approaching from behind the photographer.. :~}
great comp

Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)
Well done, that's a great idea, and the result is very good. Obviously the subject steals the show, but I also like the sweep of tracks, and your use of DoF.
Great shot. My grandson would have "stopped a train cold in it's track" pardon the pun. He is a tough lad. Obedient as well it seems. Very good result.
Very nicely done. Great composition .
There is somewhere we can report treatment like this isn't there ??
I hope Aleks got an extra helping of a special desert for doing this ... lol

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/renanluna] hehehe
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/steves_life] Well he was a wee reluctant.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/accesser] We had vowed never to return to Maryborough after our last trip there, but it seemed a lot nicer this time around.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kth_friend] I had lookouts ;-)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/98342273@N00] Thanks Rod. I wanted to use the tracks as they're such a strong compositional element, and then this idea came to me.

Can you remember if the waterfall was "working", when you were there?
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/carjo] I don't recall seeing a waterfall. Was it meant to be going into the pond near the outdoor chapel, 'cause if it was, it wasn't running.
Yes, that is where it would have been. That whole area was 2 or 3 metres underwater during the floods.
