working on the farm

every farmer starts his day off with a hardy breakfast... and in this case we mean start our day by eating breakfast at 1pm and and by hardy we mean enough fattening food to kill a cow.

above we have a waffle covered in butter and syrup, hash browns covered in grilled onions and cheese, two pieces of buttered toast, two sausage patties (which were off screen) and two or three scrambled eggs. all of this was provided by waffle house (it was my first time going there... not sure how many more times i'd go) i ate most of what you see on the screen, which did not feel good shortly after consumption. still it did feel manly.


panoramic view of part of the farm.... we shot roughly where the guy in the center of the image in standing. (click on any of these images for a large version)



panoramic view of the front of the farm from the road, super green grass and the weather was just beautiful.


tree in front of N's old house... which sat on a five acre plot... lots of grass which was nice... would make for a great place to have summer bbq's out back.


that's a day old calf - he had a twin brother who is with his mom. this one was still getting the hang of his legs so he was a little slower to run and join his mom. i was a bit to close to the fence when i was taking the photos and got a semi-aggressive visit from the mom who wanted to make sure i knew she was the boss. it was duly noted.


this is the tree that the MBA students cut down with an ax. the old fashion way. and if you were wondering... how many MBA students does it take to cut down an tree with an ax... the answer is four.

the one behind it was later also cut down. but with a chainsaw... which is also super cool but in a different and infinitely less tiring way.


what happens when you give a road flare to a bunch of exhausted guys drinking and eating chicken wings late at night? you get photos like these.

technical info:
ISO: 100
shutter: 5-8 seconds
aperture: f/4
stabilized on a car hood

overall it was a great trip, even if with the long drive and the bitch middle seat.
