The image depicts a vintage scene of agricultural machinery from the early 20th century. In the foreground, there is a large mechanical thresher with various gears and belts visible, suggesting its complex mechanism for processing crops such as wheat. There are two individuals in the image; one person appears to be operating the machinery while another seems to be observing or assisting.

The background shows an expanse of flat land that is likely a farmland. The sky is overcast, suggesting it might be late afternoon or early morning, which is common for agricultural activities. This image captures a moment in the history of mechanized agriculture, illustrating the transition from manual to motorized labor in farming practices.

The image captures a group of men engaged in agricultural work. They are standing around an old-fashioned thresher, which is a piece of machinery used for harvesting crops like beans. The men appear to be dressed in traditional farming attire, with one individual wearing overalls and another wearing a hat.

The thresher itself is quite large and appears to have been constructed from metal parts. It has a cylindrical body and a conveyor belt that seems to be moving the harvested crop. The men are standing on what looks like a dirt ground, typical of farm settings.

There's no visible text in this image. The overall scene suggests a time when mechanized agriculture was still relatively new, and it gives us a glimpse into the history of farming practices.

We went to the annual toy train show at the country fairgrounds in Turlock, which is always fun. #modelrailroad #turlock #trainshow #trains

O-gauge train layout with a ton of brightly colored industrial structures. The focus of the pic is meant to be a Southern Pacific streamline engine, but there are also an SP diesel and a steam engine with coal tender on a track loop further in, and a Western Pacific caboose on a track loop further out.
