I am so glad to see that someone hooked up a battery to this old tractor. And here I was afraid that it wouldn’t move because of the flat tires and all the rust. Apparently it was the battery. I guess a mechanic has determined that is all it needs to plow again.
I don’t know the make or the year of this tractor. It does seem to be all in one piece though.

This is about 4,5 cm.
Happy Macro Monday.

The lighthouse that guards the entrance to Crescent City Harbor in northernmost California. The spit of land connecting the lighthouse’s island to the mainland is submerged by the tides most of the time, so bring your tide tables with you if you visit! You’ll need them to time your return.

Located at the northern end of the Odaiba reclaimed land, this is Odaiba in the narrow sense. It is an off-shore islet protected by stone walls and installed with cannons, which is conserved as a historic monument.
Planted trees are Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). It is planted all over Odaiba.
In response to the provocation by the US "Black Ships" in 1853, Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Egawa Hidetatsu Tarouzaemon (江川英龍太郎左衛門) to construct a set of battery to protect the capital of Japan from foreign powers. He barely completed the difficult task in eight months and died soon after the completion probably due to the hard work.
He was originally a local magistrate in Nirayama at the foot of Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka prefecture. He became interested in the coastal defence matters, learned Western gunnery and techniques in Nagasaki, and eventually involved in the Tokugawa shogunate with this matter.
He realised the necessity to introduce modern iron foundry techniques to produce modern arsenal, for which he auto-didactically constructed the first reverberatory furnace in Japan in his home town of Nirayama.
Egawa's residence is conserved in his hometown. It is a traditional wooden structure constructed in the 17th century without a nail (flic.kr/p/HaHVkF), which is interesting as he is considered the father of modern iron foundry in Japan.
