Rusty Machinery/ Macro Monday

Close up of old rusty farm machinery

Old farm machinery is a common site along country roads in East Gwillimbury. This was found next to the driveway into an old but still active farm.

    You find this kind of thing everywhere in rural areas of the U.S., too. I've often wondered why people let machinery go to rot out in the elements? Some of it must retain some usefulness.

    Your picture really brings home the notion of waste - at least to me...

    I see a lot of old forgotten rusty farm equipment around my neck of the woods. After a while, it becomes part of the landscape. Great shot.
