A very funny shot, I like the way you can tell the joy the participants must have had when doing these experiments/works of art :) Especially the engineers seem to have a good time, indeed, it's very satisfying to see one's "invention" (in this case the fire ;) ) work :)

That blast furnace almost looks like a home built rocket. Oh, the railroad switch engine in the background- is that an Alco, or a Baldwin?

This picture is a delight. Talk about the decisive moment. It certainly captures the theme, in spades. I am still smiling.
