A tractor
Years ago, before I was 10, my grandfather owned a farm in the Northern Transvaal (now called Limpopo). This tractor reminded me of our visits to my grandparents over the Christmas period.
I remember two small tractors, similar to this one, that stood on their property, with flat tyres and worn-out engines. The strange thing is that I can also remember the (very distinctive) smell of old oil and grease (from the tractors) baking in the sun, and now as I look at this photo I swear that I can actually smell it again!
Nice pic! Love the rusty look
+1 for the heading “Temporal tractor”
Thanks Zeandre. I think the long grass growing up around it adds nicely to the rusty and discarded look.
Thanks Emmet. Kerry-Anne was strangely surprised that I used a big word like temporal. Silly girl.
Yes Paul, that does bring back memories. I wonder what it looks like there now.
Oh I like this photo Paul, love the rusty look and yes I’m sure it’ll bring memories for you!
I’m sure if she could talk she would have quite a few stories to tell
I’m sure she would James!
