This freight train image was taken just before the 2012 Veteran's Day Parade was to start in downtown Crestview, NW Florida, USA -- on 10 Nov. 2012. (The parade's route crossed the CSX railroad tracks...the train went west at the 'just right' time.)
I like your picture of the two elephants in the Veterans Day Parade with the one holding the tail of the other elephant. I prefer this image with the humans in it and just the elephants and the background railroad sign. Good clarity of detailing in this particular image showing even the hairs on the elephants' hide.
