Early hay rake that would have been pulled by a tractor is put out to pasture, so to speak, to become a symbol of bygone days. This rake was photographed near Duncan BC Canada.
A hay rake may be mechanized, drawn by a tractor or draft animals, or it may be a hand tool. The earliest hay rakes were nothing more than tree branches, but wooden hand rakes with wooden teeth, similar in design to a garden rake but larger, were prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and still are used in some locations around the world.
This was taken about fifteen minutes after sunrise. I was drawn to the radiating shadows and so positioned my self right behind the tree to use the raking shadows as a set of lead in lines into the shot. The highlights in the sky were controlled by using the Singh Ray 3 stop reverse grad. This is a single exposure processed in Adobe Lightroom & CS4.
Thanks in advance for having a look and leaving a comment.

The jumping crane will kick out and toward the partner, which defines the "Jump Rake". The stationary crane is demonstrating the Wing-spread-forward-tilt (other half of the Jump-rake dance).

With nighttime temperatures dipping down into the mid-thirties - it is definitely time to put the garden tools away until next spring. I have had several decades of use from this old rake, and it is indestructible. Today's modern tools can't begin to compare in quality. I wish our country had the same pride in craftmanship today - as we had less than a century ago.
Another image that proves that I always seemed to go out in dull weather. 56097 passes through Knottingley with a rake of empty HAA's for Gascoigne Wood. 7th April 1995.
Another of my old wanderings took me to the back roads southwest of Longmont. This rake appears to be more lawn art than farm implement. A rambling rake no more! ...And it is not used up yet! It was not made of Chinese plastic.
Some of my captures need a load of editing, not so much here, as I am deluged with retouching in my directories. I expect to post more as I get past my immersion in most of the mass of current projects like starting on the quasi-logical Win-10 that needs another upgrade and a heap of cleanup afterward.
The Ag Museum was open to get to the McIntosh Lake Loop Trail. Hmm, I just might try it on the remaining day. I can't simply just hang around the Museum, I am already crammed with MAC snaps. I have some neighbors who do nothing more than hang around, I have places to go. Perhaps a small degree of exercise? I can only stand sitting behind the monitor for a small while.
With the new sheen of MGHHs still striking the countryside, SSR's 9849 empty Manildra Flour from Bomaderry to Bogan Gate drop out of Harden with SSR103 and SSR104. Both SSRs would come off at Cootamundra and be replaced with CF4401 and VL362.

Great Torrington station in 1971, with rakes of milk wagons in the sidings. This station was on the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway, one of the last standard gauge lines to be completed, opening in 1925.
This is a dump rake, used for making hay. The horses would pull it until the rake was full of grass, then the driver of the horses would lift it to "dump" the hay. The goal was to have all the dumps lined up in a straight line, so when they picked it up it was easy.
A touch of overnight rain brings great early morning garden photo ops. It pays not to be too zealous about raking up fallen leaves or pulling up succulents that have escaped from their pots. I've always loved still-life paintings, especially hyper-detailed botanicals. They invite you to spend time wandering around in them looking at every little nuance of color, texture and form. My eye went right to this leaf and those paintings when I saw it on my morning garden walk. This photo is a composite focus-stack of 30 individual shots. What do you see in it?
