Spotlight on Icicles

One morning last week, while Husband was up in the silo, and I was standing vigil down below, a few interesting photo scenes presented themselves. This photo below is looking east......it was way past dawn, but with color adjusting, the scene can be made to look like sunrise. Or I could have called it a sunset, and you would have never known the difference!! If I had PhotoShop, that annoying fencepost could be removed, probably.

My job down there at the foot of the silo was to turn the silo unloader lever every so often, which would cause the unloader up inside the silo to lower and dig deeper and push more silage to the chute through which it falls down into the bunk. In the bunk a conveyor system moves the silage throughout the length of the bunk. Later on, the cows come out of the barn and eat the silage in this outdoor bunk.

Husband was up inside the silo helping the unloader to move through the silage. In very cold weather, the silage up in the silo tends to freeze and stick to the wall of the silo, causing the unloader to get stuck....."buried", as Husband calls it. And yes, Husband simply loves an opportunity to climb up and spend time in the freezing cold silo.......it puts him in a very good mood!! NOT!!!!

Whoops.....this shot is a bit off-kilter.......!!

And this one is a rather fuzzy, but that's how the photo was, and sharpening it didn't look very good.

My camera seems to have died.......I don't know what's wrong with it. Maybe it got damp sitting in the milkhouse a couple times. I don't know. So I may be in the hunt for a new camera.......something better, but affordable. It will be fun to look around and see what's out there. It will need to be a durable camera, that's for sure. Any advice or ideas are welcome!!!
