Thrashing Machine

2/23/2013 Thrashing Machine

This old Trashing Machine is being used as a lane entrance ornament.  I almost missed it as I was driving down a country road late in the afternoon hoping for a break in the clouds before sunset.  It was snowing fairly heavy at the time and I passed it.  After driving back and capturing a few images, the local sheriff stopped me.  He saw me driving up and down the road and wanted to know what I was doing.  I have heard other photogs tell similar stories, but this was the first time for me.  It made for a colorful discussion at the dinner table.
