Plow Days at Homeplace on Green River 2025-04-19 - Taylor Co., KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "I'll immediately identify myself as biased towards liking, maybe loving this photo! Raised on a farm and John Deere tractors... of course my true colors will show. If you just glance at this photo and move on you might miss some things that stand out to me as repeating anomalies. Firstly, 3 trailer tires the elderly men are sitting on, 3 large tractor tires. Two men in brown attire, two men arms crossed. Two younger, possibly interested in or even farmers opposite of each other and locking in the 4 men on the trailer. Opposite colors of the two young men. Young man's hoodie matching the barn. This wasn't a staged photo, more in the style of street photography, only I would prefer to call it 'country street photography!' Did I miss any more patterns?"
