The farmland near to where I live often gets bit of agri-tat dumped for a while: this excavator hung around for the best part of a year rusting away, until one day it was gone.The first impression is that it jars with the landscape (that's why I took it). But does it really? Except the sky, what is here that's not man-made? The land that it and I stand on is drained for crops, the chalk faces are the result of quarrying and the land above them was once woodland but has be worn away to nothing by centuries of sheep farming.
Is it such a natural world after all?
I've seen many similar scenes in southern Ontario - these farm machines left to merge with the landscape. I think they look like frozen dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture and Jennifer's right...they do look like frozen dinosaurs.

Very familiar sight--and very familiar photo. I snap a few myself. Mostly of abandoned tractors near the fields they used to serve.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Innocent. We just have little pockets of places that aren't touched by humans.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot and thoughts.
