The magical tractor at Buckland Farms. Few people notice that one of its wheels is missing.
On a late autumn day, a friend of ours who works in Warrenton invited us to spend an afternoon on a walk through town. It's only a short distance away, so off we went.

We stopped along the way at the Buckland Farms roadside store. It has some beautifully restored old farm machinery, some great scenic views and, of course, Sherri Lynn's homemade apple pies.

All of these pictures were shot on my Panasonic DMC-FZ35, saved as JPEG Fine, at various settings. They received additional processing in LightZone to bring out their finer qualities.

It was an interesting way to spend an afternoon and it yielded some interesting pictures as well.
