All good images, for me the best one was showing the underside of the seat and a steering wheel in the background, of a tractor in the same shade of green. Fabulous composition.
I like that one and have a couple more, but I wasn't very good at blurring out backgrounds then - and still am not 😐

Nice!! County fairs are where antique farm machinery come to play.
All kinds of stuff on display! Some guy brings his team of oxen (massive, widespread horns) every year, and to my untrained eye, the animals look like they could weigh about a ton each!!!

I can just picture you quietly stalking around these objects looking for that perfect angle. Then you find it and, BAM!
I do that, Moshe, but these days the BAM part consists of my suddenly needing to find any nearby portable commode 😖😖😖😖😖

Great work! Sure brings back younger days, spent many an hour on almost every one of these. Mostly Ford N's and John Deere.

Man, I know I have literally hundreds more of shots like these because I think they are beautiful. Your experiences sound like the kind that would make a guy a really upstanding individual. My mom always used to tell me that hard work never killed anybody.... Thanks for commenting

A friend of mine, a whisp of a woman, works for Hale Farm and Village (a restored early 19th century homestead, is the driver of a pair of oxen. And they do weigh over a ton each, around 2200 lbs. if I remember correctly. She drives them with a long stick and a tickle under the chin. Could PM you a picture if you're interested.

Thanks so much, Doc, and as you know, it is a time-consuming process - especially with slow internet
