    my first ever viewing of a 'ladder stack'.. cool... and the old seed store looks almost identical to my uncles old ice house from the distant past

    Yikes! I'm hoping it has been a while since anyone has attempted to climb that ladder in the feed and seed store.

    I like the way the ladders in the orchard are stacked to keep them off the ground. That old fire engine is really neat.

    Hi EG CG, Great photos! The first one, fire truck, so reminded me of my picture of an old truck in Ketchikan Alaska posted on my blog back last October 2nd. I hope you will take a look if time permits http://john-s-island.blogspot.com/2014/10/north-to-alaska-2014-day-6.html Old fire trucks are awesome! Have a great day, John

    I like the patterns it creates in the last image of ladders. It makes for an interesting composition. Love that red fire truck!

    Each picture is very special and lovely. The ladder in the middle picture looks like part of the building, I would think it would be very hard to climb. I have not seen anything like it.

    Love the old fire truck! The ladders we use at the orchard we pick at have a third leg for stabilization.

    Hi Tina,
    I am reminded of the song, "Penny Lane", for that Fire Engine is a "Clean Machine". Lovely photos!
    Have a Beautiful Day!

    You take very good pictures, Ms. TG. I love your fire truck' I am thinking that it is a 1934 Ford truck.

    My post today has a 1934 Ford Three Window Coupe picture. We used to race on like that, hopped way up.

    Excellent L subjects, CG, all so very different from each other yet stunning in their own way.
    The orchard shot speaks to my heart as Normandy is known for it's apples and apple by products.

    Such wonderful photographs! I keep returning to the one of the orchard ladders, thinking successful ladder stacking is a skill I probably couldn't demonstrate.
