[Beryl Lloyd]

Interesting history and a photographer's delight with all that rust and angles !

[Sam]

Can you climb up on it Ms Annie?

[elkehochban]

Awesome!

Fascinating history.


It does have somewhat the same color as a Sandhill Crane.

[Maggiemae]

[Marnie]

Rust and a crane, what more could I ask? This is a wonderful shot of this little ripper. Thanks for the extended explanation, puts it into historical context very well.

[Sam]

@annied Care factor? NONE! Now please go and climb it ;)

[Annie D]

@gigiflower hahahahahahaha

[Sam]

@annied At least I said please!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower the please has been duly noted :)

[Richard Sayer]

What a wonderful piece of old machinery - it would be fun to explore it. Your treatment reinforces that it is old and obsolete.

[David]

Nice .... it must have been left there especially for photographers!

[Paul]

This looks like it's seen some action over the years. Love it!
