Sometimes there are gems almost in your back yard. This scene is only a couple of miles from my house. Every night it plays out with different colours and light.

Broken Feed Drive

 

The drive chain that runs the feeder on the combine pickup broke and jammed the front full. Under the flood lights from the combine and work lights from the service truck, the canola was brightly light in the darkening night.

Sir Lawrence

 

I called him Sir Lawrence but Larry is a former school teacher from Three Hills. He’s been operating combines for Carlson Ag for many years. On this day, he’s in the cab teaching his young friend the finer points of running the big harvester.
