Steaming Beauty

It has been so long since I took a decent, inspired photograph. I've been so busy with life that Instagram has filled the place where my trusty Nikon once did.

On a recent trip to Cullinan I found out some family history on my mum's side. Apparently my grandfather Hendrik Naude was actually South Africa's youngest steam train operator at one stage. I found this out coincidently, my mum and I stood side by side staring at the steaming black beauty in front of us when she shared this insightful titbit. 

These are some pics I've edited with a Split Toning Filter. I wanted high contrast black and white but these have grown on me. I'm thinking of putting them up in our house. What do you think of them?
