I myself a mechanical engineer post graduate ! :) Love these valves as a photographic subject. More so when it is rusted. Some of the first few test shots, directly taken out of my D750, noedit whatsoever and uploaded through wifi utility ;)

This old, rusting tractor sits in an area just off the road along Rt 9 north of Carrollton, Ohio. I've lost track of how many times I have passed this thing this year alone since Rt 9 is one of my favorite riding routes going south. I have no idea how old this tractor is but the emblem says "Oliver" and it has a crank starter.

The "Picture This!" assignment for this week was Ghosts on the Landscape. When I read that assignment a week ago, this was the first thing that came to mind.
This farm implement was last licensed in 1945 but it surely is a clue as to why our US infrastructure, roads and bridges are being destroyed; well, that and the righties. I am using a McIntosh Ag Museum shot to finish a greenish series by adding rust and weeds. This certainly is a fitting title for this image. This machinery is for the ages, the iron ages! This is some kind of weird plowing implement, it must be an older iron implement and possibly horse-drawn but probably not in 1945. I see some rust on it. It had to be iron heavy in order to be able to "bite" into the soil. I ought to go again and figure out the exact function but I am close.
This June found a return to hot temperatures. Wundermaps reported 101 degrees while I was out there. Whew! The direct sun blazed across the scene. I decided that I had missed some shots at McIntosh and went out in the baking sun.
Highway #66 seemed overloaded with early summer travelers to the hills, probably not knowing summer might not arrive until July in the Rockies. They are still dumped a lot of snow into the rivers yet there are plenty of folks willing to jump in a drown.
This photo was taken in a old part of the Verkadefabriek, a cultural centre in Den Bosch. Where there are theatre, cinema and restaurants. In the past it was a cookiefactory! A beautiful place where the old and new come together.
