The Return of the Triffids... by julzmaioro

The Return of the Triffids...

The last few weeks I have noticed how this tractor is slowly getting taken over by the watermelons growing in this market garden.. so yesterday I decided that I had best stop for a photo .. I don't know why the tractor was left sitting in the paddock after planting but it certainly can not be shifted until harvest .. and the watermelons have a bit more growing to do yet ...
Kind of surreal. I like it! fav!

It must have been broken down and forgotten! Fabulous shot and lovely landscape.

Good spotting! Might disappear completely in the watermelon patch.

Nice capture

Looks like they'll be lucky to find it shortly - the melons are taking over the asylum! Nice find and capture.

Great image, it almost looks like a toy sitting there.

Rooted to the spot -- great find and capture ! fav

Great shot of nature taking back control

Very cool find. It always amazes me when farmers leave equipment out in the field - really should have been taken out when it broke down because it will only be harder to repair after sitting there all summer.

Looks as though it will be there for quite a while.

LOL.... nice one.

Great shot but it looks as though it needs rescuing!
February 26th, 2018  
Oh I think @s4sayer has posted pictures of these

That is a beautiful scene. I love the layers in the distance, what beautiful country.

It does look lovely with the vines covering the tractor. Beautiful colors in this image!

This is a different weed again...and clearly no less respectful than my 'our Triffids'. @joansmor
February 26th, 2018  
Wonderful capture with great clarity and details

@joansmor my Triffids are in Auckland NZ... @s4sayer they are water melons...

Nice capture and lovely colours.

A wonderful photo Julz....love this tractor & it's added greenery! It will be interesting seeing how long it's stays there! Nice contrasts of colour there in the vegetation too.

@julzmaioro
TYF the correction. 'Weeds', aka watermelons are welcome here anytime. Uncertain whether our climate could adequately support them though:-((

@julzmaioro @s4sayer I just remembered the name Trffids and the picture s you took as they got bigger and bigger
February 27th, 2018  
Well captured. Love the colors!
February 27th, 2018  
Well spotted, and I'm glad you stopped to take a photo. You've reminded me that we have a plant in our garden that I've nicknamed the triffid, and I've been meaning to photograph it too!
February 27th, 2018  
What a great scene!

Love this, triumph of Mother Nature
February 27th, 2018  
That's hilarious, so glad you got the shot. Looks like a pretty old tractor but it obviously still functions cos it's got a new what I think is an oil filter. Not going anywhere any time soon as you said.

I remember that Triffid book so well. Love the tendrils growing up over the tractor.
