I saw this a few days ago, it's about 8 miles from my home on a country road. Reminded my of helping Grandfather on his farm as a kid, 60 years ago. Then there was a post on UHH of the same thing.In contrast, here it is the summer solstice, today the longest daylight of the year. We have had a very wet summer so far so everything is very green. Comments welcome.

Opposite sides of the world. I believe when you took this, it was the shortest day of the year here in the USA. Ah- the memories of good times past spent with family. Nice photo & happy holidays!

Summer Solstice here in South Africa too. A day of cloudless skies and temperatures just above 30c (or 86f for you guys in the States).

My sister & I used to stand on the board on the back of the drill and watch for blockage of the seed tubes and alert our father driving the tractor about that and tell him when to load more grain in the seed box.
