Description

Even a historic old farm property can’t evade 21st century technology.
This station started off growing pine trees for a paper manufacturer. Then it was sold and cleared, and after grass planting over 15000 head of cattle were run here.
A cell tower and water reservoir found their way alongside the Cattle grid at the gate to this farm.
Captured 30 minutes be for sunrise, and touched up in photoshop with just a trace of grain added

You are so right, the 21st century technology is evading historic old farm scenes everywhere I think. Great documentation of that in this image! <>< #11508649
