Refuge Sunset

Taken by me, @ Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge

Picture of the silo at Farmers Elevator and Exchange, Wapello, Iowa. Taken December 3, 2001. This is the company I work for. This concrete silo was built in the mid 1950's as an addition to the feed mill that burned in 1994. The flag and ribbon were painted on during the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

This picture is of the Harvestore Silo on our farm. Has never been used since we came into the operation. More or less a blue monument. Thought this picture was kind of neat with the sunset and all.

Southwest of town

I took this picture from atop the silo in the pic at the top of the page. This is pointing southwest. The large yellow building in the picture is Grimm Brothers Plastics. Wish it was a sunny day so it would turn out better.

Foggy Barn

I took this picture where I lived before I bought the place I am in right now. One morning it was a foggy/drizzly day and I looked out at the barn and thought it would make for an iteresting picture. This was taken from inside of the house with the camera butted up against the window, which was covered in the drizzle. Makes for a neat picture.

Austrailian Storm

I found this picture at harvesting.com in the combine gallery. This was from Michael's picture site. He took this in Austrailia. There are some other good pictures of that country on harvesting.com. I hope the guy running the combine gets done before the rain cuts loose.

In the Spring

Pigs grazing at sunset

Took this picture last October on Indian Creek road. Not very often that a person sees sows out grazing in a field anymore. Most hogs are now in confinements. The purpose of letting the hogs out in the field is to glean the dropped grain, an efficient and economical way to feed livestock.

Below are a couple of pictures of a John Deere 45 combine. Contrast it to the 9500. By the appearences of the combine it looked as if the machine was in use until recently. I took those pictures at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant over the labor day holiday.

I took this picture when we were nearly done with the bean harvest. Mainly I was experimenting with the flash and film exposure to see what kind of picture I could get. This year there are no pictures of the 7720 as it sat in the shed during the entire harvest.
