[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 679415, member: 43342"] My wife and I went up to the Farmers and Threshermens' Jubilee in New Centerville, PA (Somerset County near Flight 93 Memorial). Interesting collection of old machinery - coal-fueled steam tractors, old diesel generators, etc. Linky: [URL="http://www.4fallfestivals.com/farmers-threshermans.aspx"]Farmers and Threshermens Jubilee | New Centerville | Somerset County | 4 Fall Festivals in the Laurel Highlands[/URL] Due to the nature of the subject, I experimented with Black and White.
