  1. Who would have thought when this machine was in use that it would end up as an ornament. It looks great on the lawn.

  2. What a great use for this old machine..... I see stuff like this rotting in hedgerows and would love to be able to rescue them...

  3. In sepia, this shot has the feel of traveling back in time.

  6. And now it should have flowers spilling out the hopper. Very nostalgic scene. MB

  9. I've always like old farm stuff as lawn ornaments. We had a old wagon wheel - authentic - that we got at an Indian reservation in Arizona.

    Hmmm. Wonder what happened to that?

    I'll be some Amish still use this contraption...

  16. I wonder what kind of ride you could expect while sitting on that metal seat while being pulled by a horse. A rustic tale to t ell. Maybe farmers are soft these days with air-conditioned cabs and foam seating...

    Nice job!

  23. Something a bit lonely about it. Maybe the sepia emphasises it? Still not sure whether I like sepia shots tbh. Haven't ever taken one, but I'll keep looking at yours and see if they continue to grow on me.

  24. Wondering if you left a bit of green in the machine's holder...in any case, looks great in sepia.

  25. Your photo is very clear and sharp! Thanks for your visit and comment. I don't think you will ever make one of those mistakes, because the people, who wrote these funny letters , were not really used to writing. I think, that I, as a foreigner, shall sooner make a funny mistake than a native speaker, but even then, not one as in these lines.

  26. Amazing that once this was a practical contraption! And now it reigns as a garden work of art! Great photo!

  27. What a nice sepia - I don't know if it's just that I know the grass is green or if there's still a hint of green there. It looks really cool, though!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love how you left the grass a little green. It helps the sepia colored machine step back in time. Very nice.
