Thanks Austin. I had to wait for a posse of ducks to swim out of the frame to the lower right. You need patience to do this stuff.

I really like those Clay, especially the grate and the water tower. There's mystery all around us!
I seem to be on a tractor streak lately.

Clay, great shots, all; the last one is particularly amazing, there's a beautiful depth and vibrancy to it.

Nice, Tuco! Well planned and executed.
I see a bit of string on the A12 back, in case that matters to you.

I was intrigued by a ritual I noticed in rural areas near the Oregon coast a couple of years ago: People standing around a very smoky burning pile of stuff in a yard or field near their houses. Usually in the winter, on a calm non-rainy day. It turns out open burning is allowed in rural parts of the state as long as you're not burning garbage and if fire danger is low. It's a way to rid your yard of deadfall branches, orchard trimmings, etc. in areas where there is no yard debris recycling available. I think farmers are allowed some leeway for agricultural debris. In the metropolitan areas, leaf burning has been banned for 40 years, and we have huge yard debris composting sites.
