While traveling on the backroads of Cape Girardeau County I saw this old house that had been restored. An old plow was resting in the front yard and a cistern pump stood close to the porch. Food, water and shelter, three primary ingredients of pioneer life.
I think this is an unusual scene in the SCTEX. A farmer with his carabao. This was a dirt road before, a way to the farm; but the construction of this highway, resulted to a longer way towards the farm of this farmer.
The farmers still use this road somehow, which at this time is already open for public use.
Shot out of the front window, on the way to Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
Thanks for comments and favs :)
Evening light on an old iron plough along the drive at Warren Mill Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan (central South Wales), during an evening walk with mixed sun and storm cloud in early May (2010).

The Powerland Museums celebrate all sorts of power from vintage cars, trucks, logging tools to old steam-powered tractors! Their annual festival was drive-thru this year but volunteers cheerfully made sure the visitors had fun as they went through the site!

Normally I do not use borders for viewing digital files, but here it's part of my vision from the start and the print wouldn't look good without it; so why not... Captured with CZ Sonnar 180mm F2.8 "Olympia" lens.
This is some type of farm implement that I have converted into a garden decoration. It's attached to an old shovel handle.
A huge difference in capabilities. Both are great workhorses. The riding mower we have used and abused for 15 years on multiple properties. The tractor is new, and will get a lot of use on our farm.
Abandoned farm tool, which I found along one of my walks. This place is next to a riding school and its houses belonged to a farm earlier.

A still life of rustic history: a rusted iron wheel, an old lantern, and weathered wood planks captured in timeless detail. This composition highlights the textures of age, patina, and craftsmanship found in forgotten barns and workshops, evoking both rural heritage and industrial memory.
I think that this is part of an old old Threashing machine.
If you know different please do not hesitate to correct me :-)
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend :-)

Forgotten reminders of agronomic life on a retired citrus grove. Tools of the trade, back in the days when the trees were tended. Now the grove grows wild and many of the oranges have turned sour as they revert to their rootstock.
Two more for today to end my ballon ride story.
And so we floated along in the morning light, watching the people going about their morning routines below us. All of us snapping away at the scenes unfolding before us.
Then we passed over the Nile and some chatter started among the crew. The we got lower still and the farmscapes were getting much closer. More chatter from the crew and then we dropped in a farmers field. We could see balloons landing everywhere off in the distance.
Then came the none to happy farmers, their families, friends other farmers nearby, passing strangers traveling on the small dirt road that held the irrigation canal and almost as many children.
As a heated discussion started to take place between or ballon team and the farmers, we were ushered out of the ballon to wait on the edge of the field. We learned later that farmers and ballon team were working out the payment for the damage we had done to their field.
While the scene was playing out the younger boys were finding it very amusing, the farmers not so much.
I imagined this same scene was taking place in the other fields where the landing mark was missed.
So I just kept snapping away at part of life that we would not have access to as well guarded tourist. It was truly fascinating.
The farmer with cows in the field posted a few weeks back was taken from this location.
This scene was on the edge of the field we landed in (we landed in the field of green in the bottom right). When I turned and saw this handmade wooden harrow resting in the field my mouth truly dropped in amazement.
All of those beautiful fields we had seen along the way by bus and boat came flooding back to mind. The piles and crates of yummy fresh veg delivered to the boats almost daily by donkey cart and sometimes trucks, all from fields not unlike these, just amazing.
I thought it almost made our local Amish farmers look modern by comparison.
I posted the larger color image to give a sense of the place. I also marvel at the skill or luck of the ballon team. We might have landed on that other brown field with fresh new sprouts emerging.

A storm was passing down the valley and the sun came out for a few minutes and lit up the front of the white barns. Crop rows still dark brown from being wet from the rain and are ready for a winter crop. Just something that is repeated many times in central California where many of the nations vegetables are grown. Gabilan Mountains in the backdrop.

I'm looking to downsize & so am clearing things out.
Thanks to Julian Hodgson for naming them. The pliers would have been used to loosen the brass ring on a lamp base fitting that frequently stuck.
Original post -I found this vintage tool & have no idea of its use. It has a REG69044 something like SKVIIIX markings.
Disused farm buildings at Delamont Country Park. The buildings are falling down and the vegetation has reclaimed a lot of the area.
The original picture was cropped into square format and edited in photoshop to give a faux pinhole look and feel.
