Simpsons Clouds


It's that time of year again. The crops are ripe for harvesting and the roads are full of tractors and combines ......



But being the mild mannered bloke that I am, you rarely hear expletives emitting from my gob.



I fully understand the necessity of the farmers work in getting the crops in whilst the weather holds. After all it's a short window they have between the summer sun and the start of the Autumn frosts.


I just wish it would rain from now till December.....

Harvest




Took these pics on the way home from work today. I rounded a bend and saw this combine harvester sitting unattended in the field and it just screamed ....'Take a pic'..... so I did. I get really paranoid about standing in the middle of nowhere taking pics of apparently nothing. I'm always aware of what the people in passing cars must be thinking......like 'dick'. So I hope you appreciate the emotional angst that I go through to bring you these 'Visions of Angus'.

Don't know where the driver was..... having his tea mebbe?..... sleeping in the cab?

At least he wasn't around to say....'Hey dick, why you takings pictures of me?'.

It's not unknown in this area for Government 'snoops' to stand by the side of fields and take pictures of 'illegal' workers. So you understand my concern!

Anyhow...... here's a little piece of genius which ties in nicely with my poor efforts at capturing 'Harvest'.

Enjoy.
