The machine on the left is an old fashioned hay mower, which was hitched behind a horse. There’s a separate blade next to it, and on this side of the tree, either some sort of wheel or a missing part of the Bat-Signal.

winter
The play of light on our neighbor’s pond is ramping up as we move further into the winter. Today the palette was cooler than the last few days.

There are many things I like about this image; for one, it’s such a non-business use of the sign, and in that way reveals something about Yankee practicality. The shot was taken with a Fuji 6×7 film camera twenty or so years ago, a few steps away from the Mohawk Trail, otherwise known as Route 2. The road follows a Native American trade route that linked Atlantic tribes with those in upstate NY. Vestiges of that era remain – this place sold all sorts of leather goods including moccasins and warm rabbit’s fur winter hats.

If memory serves, this was the first day the calves got to leave the barn, and they quickly learned about speed.

There was so much red careening around this image (as originally taken) that I finally opted to go old school and take it back to a Polaroid look in the digital darkroom. I suspect I’ll be working on this one again though – the composition pleases and it does offer a glimpse of the farming spirit.
