A Day at the County Fair

(OMG, another post!  Two in the same day!)




The cattle competition.  The sheep, goats and pigs were on the side behind me, but the pens are so much smaller, all you can see are the railings.


The midway, deserted at this time of morning.


Bad weather was threatening all day.


Plush prizes!


Bear Affair


And of course, lots of farm equipment like this combine harvester.

Pictures of the animals coming in another post.

Hoo, that's a fairly apocalyptic looking Ferris Wheel scene! Really quite striking. (Or is it actually running at high speed?)

No buns as prizes? Aw!

Interestingly conical front to that harvester's "teeth" - I've only seen them with fairly flat prongs, more akin to bulldozers, just longer. There's been a variety of bales, too - some long bales, like extended cubes, whilst others are evidently rolled up. Wish I'd taken photos of one of the fields while they had theirs baled up, a few weeks ago, but I'm always wandering around with the 300mm on, and just never got around to it. =:/ Hey ho.
