Exercise three: Photo sharing and Flickr

I found this fascinating old black and white photo on the Flickr site.  (It has been uploaded by that venerable institution, the Library of Congress)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6312419672/

If you click on the above link you will see that the image was taken between 1910 and 1915, in East Prussia.  It shows some of the cast members of a Ballet Russe touring production of "Daughter of the Regiment" being served afternoon tea by the friendly rail staff.

This snap recalls a wonderful train excursion I once took via Countrylink to Bathurst; the joys of the buffet car...the world class cafe au lait and scones. NSW Railways at the top of its game.
