Farm Machinery Lying Silent Where Left ~A Photo...

I try to imagine the farmer walking away for the last time, leaving his equipment to rest. Did he know that dozens of years later it would still be awaiting his return now surrounded by a young forest? Where is he resting?

A pair of waiting "plows."

How long has it been since it made furrows for new growth?

A cotton picker silently rusts as a forest of hardwoods grows around it.

These were in a woods I walked thru.

We have these relics all over the place here. Even their old farm trucks - it seems they just leave them wherever they stop running!

Sharon, at least there are no old trucks. I have seen old refrigerators and hot water heaters piled up--guess they had their own dumps. We even came across a large t.v. just siting in the woods far back from the houses or road.
