A single strand of grass peeps through the rust surrounded hole in a piece of no longer used farming gear.
While out on a job I undertook a cursory explore of the ruin of the Church of St.Mary Fleggburgh, turns out the ruin of this long abandoned harvesting machine which I discovered are photogenic in their own way.

This old grain elevator sits near the intersection of IL. routes 34 and 40 between Buda and Manlius,IL.I remember driving by this all my life,my dad bought some feed from this place probably 30 years ago.Things were much simpler then which can be witnessed by its modern counterpart,built just a short distance away along the highway.This has so much more character though!
During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
This old rusted hook was screwed into a blue wooden fence post or something of that nature, and had bits of ivy covering it.
Taken with a Canon 60mm USM Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

Left over from a set of hay mow pulleys I photographed several years ago. I took another shot at it because I love the casting detail as well as the rusty texture. This is another 50mm prime lens exercise. It provides a great quality shot. The EF Myers Company was known for its efficient water pumps but they also manufactured other products for agriculture. www.farmcollector.com/equipment/history-f-e-myers-and-bro/
A farm dump provides some interesting effects! A rusted something-or-other retains patches of bluish paint and is overlain by criss-cross shadows from an abandoned piece of mesh fencing.
Last weekend, Ken & I bought a beautiful little metal gazebo- rusted and perfect for SO many of my tiny spots here- it's not big at all - 6 ft. wide. But here it sits, still on the truck! Not as easy as I thought, with only two of us to manage getting it off there! The leg columns are lying down in the bottom of the truck bed. :)
This is not "new" new, but new to me! I hope that counts! :)
