Gold Digger

I'm conscious that I have to make an effort to get out for a walk these evenings, preferably with camera, as soon it will be dark.
Headed down 'the pass' or laneway which runs alongside our neighbours' farm.
For most of the walk I had a pheasant leading the way. It walked briskly ahead of me, not allowing me get nearer than a 100 yards, although unfortunately I didn't have a long lens with me.
The harvest has been cut in the fields at the end of the lane and I came across a row of tractors and diggers parked somewhat spookily in the twilight.

Nikon D7000
1/800s f/9.0 at 32.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very good colurs. Almost menacing looking machinery.

I like the contrasts here, not just in colour and light but in the subject matters - nature and mechanics, stark silhouettes against a lovely autumn sunset...great shot Mairead!

You could be rich with the current price of gold. :) A beautiful sunset and juxtaposition of the natural and mechanical. V

I do love the silhouette of the big machine in front of the glow of the last bit of sun that shines eerily behind. Lots of atmosphere and a neat shot! V
