Wordless Wednesday - Those Were The Days, My Friend

Like many of you, my husband and I keep cameras in the car ready to capitalize on a photo opportunity. Several weeks ago I was parked across the street from a historical church taking photos. For some reason I looked to my right and saw several pieces of antique farm equipment lining the entrance to a stable complex.

This tractor must rank high among the very early pieces of gasoline engine powered farm equipment. It most certainly was an improvement over a man and a horse.

I remember seeing a few of those in the area where I grew up in Southern Indiana. I guess the nice thing is you never have to worry about having a flat tire.

KAREN, That is VERY COOL! It must have been several weeks ago though as I was expecting to see a little snow on your post.

Gee I wonder if a snowplow would attach to the front?? We could use just about anything around here nowadays. LOL

Karen I agree, this looks very old and I too think old equipment makes a nice subject. Great shot.

Karen,

Those were the days. This one probably was the Cadillac of tractors way back then. Wonder what the horses were thinking when they were losing their jobs?

Feb 13, 2010 10:31 AM

Jennifer I thank you very much - you must have things like this in the Hudson Valley

Feb 14, 2010 06:33 AM

Esko I'm certain the horses enjoyed the opportunity to rest
