Sunrise through Abandoned Vintage Tractor Wheel Metal Print

This abandoned tractor is rusting away in a field just north of Minnewaukan, ND, and I have used it as a subject or foreground in several images (see the milky-way image, for instance).

It did not disappoint - I was very excited when I realized I could shoot the sun "through" the wheel.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota.
