I caught a glimpse of this old machine in a field northeast of town while poking around the back roads on my dual-sport Kawasaki this weekend.  What’s nice is not only the fact that it enjoys a spot in the middle of a mowed field, but also that I had a great sky behind it and the land wasn’t fenced or posted.  I was free to scope out the angle I wanted, so of course I chose more than one.

I think I got it all in this shot: the machine, a hay bale or two for good measure, and the two trees for a little bit of symmetry. I marked this location in my GPS because there are some other good photo finds nearby, then put my helmet on and continued my adventure.  I found a few things over the course of my 58-mile ride along the back roads, and as I process them I’ll be posting them here.
