Allis in Winterland
Following along with Tim's theme of "Deere in the Fog", I was able to shoot "Allis in Winterland" this morning. This is my neighbors old Allis Chalmers that sits just across the property line from my barn. I have shot it in most seasons as a recurring theme - but the winter shots are always the most satisfying.

50D, 1/250 @ f22, iso 800, 28-135 @ 60mm

Uh-oh, I think there's a trend starting! Actually not a bad one either. Nice shot Merle, thanks for sharing. :smile:

I like it too but I'm not sure if this is per the forum rules :cool: Actually this brings back memories of our own "Little Allis" we had growing up. It was a little pull-type combine, the dirtiest, hardest, most back breaking piece of machinery I ever ran. It was also within its limitations the toughest, most reliable piece of farm equipment ever made and would happily thresh anything you could stuff in its gullet. Those were the days... :biggrin:
