Today, with the owners permission (shockingly) we ventured about 2 minutes from home to what can best be described as an apocalyptic junk yard of redundant, defunct and wrecked machinery. This was one of the more complete models "on display" and certainly the easiest to access - I now know where all of the rust in this town is stored and distributed from.
Best viewed on the black if you have either the inclination or time to do so.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
It's always amazing to me how artistic old salvage can look once nature and the elements have run their course - and of course, it'll continue to change over time - so cool - great shot - I am however....surprised....you actually asked permission - where's the fun in that ;)
@gigiflower It would look great on my car...a bit lop sided though @juliedduncan Thanks very much...there's a couple more but it started to rain heavily :( @darylo I would love it - there's a place here called Smash Palace, which is about the same size, but it's a good 4 hour drive @deak68 We had to ask permission, the owners are the god parents of a good friend...otherwise I would have just jumped the fence... @divast8er Defunct is my favourite state of being :) @spanner Thanks very much :) @lifepause I prefer old whisky but at a pinch a tractor will do ;) @bigugly Thanks - given that it's in our neighbourhood I thought it prudent to do so... ;) @northy Thank you kindly - slowly getting better at this processing lark @trinda Thank you kindly :) @voiceprintz Thank you very much :)
@golftragic I've decided to call is Albert. @dibzgreasley It certainly was...and then the heavens opened and the rain came down. @yaorenliu It certainly is - highly contagious @tabarlett Thanks very much :) @kt8ird Thank you - I never knew it was just down the road @annied Maybe one day - didn't get too many shots as it started raining. A lot. @hermann Thanks very much indeed :)
not so much into tractors really - but i really like the clarity of the blacks and whites. Today i saw a skeleton at piha. Think it was a bird.. took a photo and was going to upload and tag you! but it just looked crappy.. so no skeleton from me!!
@annied Of course you do, I expect nothing less @brigette I'm very inspirationally challenged at the moment, I would have liked to see someone else's skeleton
@newbank That's what I thought as well but apparently definitely not. @annied Of course. @nicoleterheide Thanks very much :) @elishajae Thank you kindly :) @jaynspain Thank you very much indeed @yrhenwr Thanks...still completely uninspired @pinkpaintpot Thanks very much @vignouse It would be the only "almost" that the was - the rest was decidedly kaput
Harry couldn't believe it when he saw this photo! That is a little grey Fergie...petrol he thinks. Ferguson Tractors made these years ago &'they are very desirable over gphere. We have an old one but it's not grey but red which is a newer model but still vintage. I would go & buy it, do it up & sell it! Not sure what the demand in NZ would be though & too expensive to ship it to the UK! Must be destined for tractor graveyard!
@pools82 Thanks very much :) @neatz Thanks very much...I wanted to get more but it started raining. A lot. @happypat This ones very dead by all accounts - still, we could strip it down for parts
@tonygig Thanks very much - there are hundreds of metres of those ropes at this place. Unfortunately the heavens opened and neither I nor my camera are waterproof so there wasn't much time for many shots
@juliedduncan Thanks very much...there's a couple more but it started to rain heavily :(
@darylo I would love it - there's a place here called Smash Palace, which is about the same size, but it's a good 4 hour drive
@deak68 We had to ask permission, the owners are the god parents of a good friend...otherwise I would have just jumped the fence...
@divast8er Defunct is my favourite state of being :)
@spanner Thanks very much :)
@lifepause I prefer old whisky but at a pinch a tractor will do ;)
@bigugly Thanks - given that it's in our neighbourhood I thought it prudent to do so... ;)
