The famous Case 580D parked outside Zena Poppelardo's grandparents house in Innisfail in 1994. Notice Bill just behind the boom with his navy shirt with his council safety vest.
A few photos I took back in September, when the machines had taken over High Street just north of Hudson.
These machines are so big that, especially looking at scenes like this, I feel like a mouse trying to grab crumbs off the floor while people are eating.
Well yes, I know its pretty silly to post a tractor, but i learned to run this thing last week and had a pretty good time with it too ;). It's a big toy...see, I got you guys figured out, you call it work..but it's really play. ~~
The other people watching the backhoe do its work. I think I was the only one there just to watch the machine. The camp host seemed to think I was scoping out firewood.
Scenes from COSI's "The Science of Big Machines 2012." Bulldozers, dump trucks, and backhoes converged in downtown Columbus from June 9 through June 17, 2012. COSI's "The Science of Big Machines 2012" was created and made possible by the Ohio Contractors Association and the Ohio Operating Engineers Apprenticeship & Training Local 18 and was presented by Bob Evans.
COSI is Columbus, Ohio's dynamic hands-on Center of Science and Industry. For more information, please visit www.cosi.org.
Not so quiet any more. Taken on July 21, 2008. Compare with the previous photo of the same location.
Observe the same location two months later.
Another of the shots taken during the first time I used the Kodak Brownie Holiday 127 camera which was passed down to me from my Grandmother. It doesn't seem to perform well when aimed at the bright sun and produced light flares on some shots.
