Out of the fog.

This morning we woke to the drone of engines. Once on the floor I tried to figure out what was going on. It wasn't even first light, but I figure the potato harvest was on. It was foggy and took until about 7, to be able to actually see the equipment in the fields. In the first picture, you can see the conveyor peeking through the fog, in the center of the pic. Kinda looked like the "Loch Ness Monster" at first light. I didn't get a clean shot of the potatoes being loaded into one of the trucks, but if you click and blow up #2 and 3, you can see them coming out of the shoot. #4 is a nice view of the John Deere tractor and potato harvester. I'm working on an installment for Cobwebs, about how I first saw a potato harvest in about 1960.
