  • Some kind of single-piston steam engine. I think these small ones were actually being powered by compressed air though.

  • This thing was just too bizarre for words. I took several exposures with slow shutter speeds to try and show the motion, but I just didn't like the camera shake in any of them. It's a shame really, because this thing was moving in the most peculiar way. (That will teach me to leave my tripod in the car!)

  • I really liked the contrasting colors. For some reason, I'm very fond of short focal lengths from very low angles.

  • Again, the same FarmAll 200 from the previous two shots. You can see that although this tractor has been fully restored, it's seen some use in recent years.

  • I have no idea what this engine is supposed to DO, but it would clunk along, and about every 20 seconds, it would make a popping sound and spew a little cloud of smoke. I had to watch the little workings for a bit to get the pattern so I could time the shot right.

  • The sky was terribly cooperative that day. I tried to capture an angle that embodied the "Fear This" slogan... I think the next shot captured it better.

  • Some kind of restored hot-rod engine. Unlike many of the displays, it wasn't actually running when I stopped by.

  • I'm not any kind of engine expert, but I know it's a radial piston engine from some aircraft or another.

  • This is a closer shot of the controls of that orange monster from the previous shot. One hell of a bright orange paint job.
