    great!!! love how the man and his machine seem to "morph" into each other, like it is said to happen to people spending a long "symbiotic" time together ; )) – couples married to each other for ages: his features are "roundish", very much like the iron parts on the machine. and he's wearing those glasses, resembling the headlights of the engine looking right back at him, trusting him to fix whatever needs to be fixed. a great expression on his face, too – both matter-of-fact and tender at the same time! if his dinosaur baby is sick she needs to be pampered ; ))… greetings, sabine. p.s. i just love those pincers in his hand: they look like a (t-rex) dinosaur, too ; )).

    That´s what they need, that´s what these old ladies deserve to give reliable service after all these centenaries!
    Very good, empathic shot!
