Beach Path and Rust,

Beach Path and Rust,
Although I'm not big on farm machinery, this abandoned farm equipment looks to be a muck spreader and could well be a 1950s model, any way I thought it anchored the shot nicely,
The wall and fence indicate the footpath down to Farr beach at Bettyhill where the waves off of Farr Bay lap gently onto the pale sand.

This is a link to a Wurzels song, The Champion Dung Spreader, although they are a long serving Somerset band the guy on the Accordion Tommy Banner is the world's only Scottish Wurzel.

This is beautiful with a glimpse of the beach and sea and the gently rolling landscape. I love the colours here, the lush greens and what could almost be Autumnal tones. The rusty muck spreader makes a great focal point and a genius link!!

HFF and have a good weekend

Hi Roger
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition, well set off by the rusty manure spreader.
I remember a model of this kind of spreader..from that vintage, so you are right!!
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, HFF,, and stay safe!!

Had to look this up on your mapping Roger. A bit of auld rusty farm equipment often livens up a scene although this was nice in any case.

It does indeed anchor the shot nicely..............and it's rusty colour works well with the surrounding grasses. I like the dry stone wall and he glimpse of people on the sandy beach.
