I like that a great deal. I wish I had some old equipment from my Great grandparents farm to decorate my suburban yard. I'd definitely do it.

I love old farm equipment used as yard art. So much history behind them. Great shot.

Cool. Old farms, old farm equipment, old barns, I'm gona look for an old horse. :)

Farm machinery are good subject for B&W shots. Especially on a snowy ground. It seems even more lost in all that white.
It has certainly so much to "tell" about past farmers life.

We have lots of yard art around here. Like the shadows on the snow.

Snow is just perfect for monochrome escpecially with metal. You make the functional look beautiful.

I love it when old equipment is repurposed as yard art. Great shot.

Great shot - I love the fact that the old machinery sits just off-centre.

Great object to shoot in BW. I love the clear shadows this old farm piece creates.

Browsing your 3 blogs and am not sure w/c to leave my footprints. All of them are so interesting...

I choose this as I found amazing photos.

SO much nostalgic feelings since my childhood.

Job well done!

Rose said...

Nice capture!

BTW, I have something for you at my blog.

Mojo said...

Okay, I give up. What is it? I mean it looks cool, and it's a great photo, but what does this thing do? Or did it do, rather.

PERBS said...

Seems so out of place with the snow and yet looks so "comfortable" being just right there! Great catch!
