» February 2010 Photo of The Month Winner - thogan3!

The theme for the February Photo Contest was "Steam" and was definitely the toughest competition we've seen here in 4 years on The Whistle Post. A HUGE number of entries and every one of them was a winner. Unfortunately, there is only space for 2 photos on the front page and thogan3 earned 1st place with his photo above and GrampysTrains came in a close 2nd place in his photo below.

March's Theme: Crossings!!
