Antique Tractor Beautiful Decay

I love all types of mechanical things.

This tractor was in front of a closed antique museum in Lake City, Tennessee. Decades of weathering have taken its toll, leaving it beautifully weathered. One can almost feel the years of hard labor it's seen.

Once upon a time, this tractor was shiny and new, undoubtedly the pride of its owner.


Now, metal wheels are corroding,


and gauges are splintered.

Yet we can still honor this relic of a bygone day and give thanks for the way it served its purpose.

Peace,
John
