Village Traffic at Speed.

I was stood at my front gate taking shots of the hillside above the chapel. We don't get to much traffic but I heard the local farmer coming around the bend.

Suddenly he whizzed by at speed, as you can tell by the slight blurr on the front wheels, but he did give me a cherry wave. He was obviously off for more bales of hay and he goes by several times a day.

It's really hectic in the village with tractors, horse riders and that mad pensioner Lady Magpie, out with her camera.

Lovely shot of village life.

[Julia]

Nice capture

[Phil Cameron]

great shot appeals to me wonder if they still have a tool box for me to ride on as when I was a kid

[Judith]

Great capture.

[Barbara Donnellan]

What a lovely pastoral view you have from your front gate! Great capture of the truck and the stop motion of the wheels.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@ziggy77 @juliac @philcameron59 @daisyjuds @barbarajdonnellan Thank you all for viewing and commenting, It's lovely to have the tractors going past my home, until they are pulling the muck spreader.

[Claire]

Sounds pretty much like my village, after we had put Annabelle to bed last night, a tractor went past and she thought it was time to get up! ;0)
Wonderful snapshot of village life

[Joey]

Fabulous shot, I can almost see the wheels moving!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@claireuk @joeyc Thank you Ldies, appreciate your visit.

[CINDY JOHNSON]

I really love this shot !!!

[Kathie]

That's what a "farmer going around the bend" looks like. Haha. Don't get too close to that pointy thing on the front.

[Lin]

A very fun capture!

[Khawbecker]

You were on your toes! I can see the tractor was moving fast. Glad you didn't get run down! Great capture!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@pittcj17 @kathiecb @linnypinny @khawbecker Thanks for commenting, he was moving quite fast and that spike on the front looks dangerous, used for picking up the bales.

[Graham Thresher]

A super capture and so much in your own unique style. fav

[Brianna]

Haha, such a great action shot! Sounds like an interesting village! That Lady Magpie sounds dangerous, bet she gets some great shots though! ;)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@thresheg @lilminimonka Thank you both for visiting and the FAV Graham. Thanks Brianna for commenting, that Lady Magpie gets everywhere.

[virtualbrownie]

What a great capture - would not want to be travelling in the opposite direction

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@virtualbrownie Thanks, they do whiz about an as you can see well over on the wrong side of the white line.

[carol white]

Great capture!!

[Lyn Berriman]

That is a very smart tractor - not at all like the one I posted just now! :)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@carolmw @lynnilou Thank you ladies, my local farmer must have trained on a racing track.

[Susan Golding]

The hurly burly of village life! Lovely picture of it!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge Thanks Susan, it's so busy, if not tractors we get horse riders.

[Ruby]
