 Visited my childhood home today - our family farm. My parents are retired and the left over machinery is no longer being cared for - as a result things are falling apart where they were last left.

This Jeep is a Legend in our family - my son adores it - it's known as The Old Bomb.

Sadly she no longer works - RIP The Old Bomb.

The tones here really make the nostalgia of the shot come through; nicely composed, as well, especially with the open-ness of the Old Bomb.

Love it! Wonderful photo of a classic. Since it's a family heirloom, you should print and frame this.

Very nice. Old machinery are like old barns they make neat photos.

yep, you've caught the character of the jeep and farm really well.
I bet there are lots of photo opportunities around there!

What a fun place to grow up -- and now pass on to your son. My son used to love cars and big machinery when he was little.

This has such a historic, nostalgic look to the photo. Sepia tones are perfect for it.

Now this would have been a weapon in it's day! I love the way farm vehicles get cut up and modified to suite certain uses. Is there any close up's? Nice work! :)
