Hi all

Well as Sunday is Google Earth day in my house, I found this little lot just sitting there waiting to have there pictures taken.

North of Swindon (Wilts) is the small village of Ashton Keynes which is surrounded on all sides by current and former sand and gravel quarry`s, and in one corner of a field is all the old quarry equipment. I went late afternoon then stayed till well after dark...

Pictures.

Sorry I don`t know what this bit of kit was.

Well after sitting around for an hour or two and getting lots of odd looks from the local dog walking mob, it was time to do what I wanted to do all day, yep it had now gone dark...

So the same bits of kit as the day time this time at night..

Those night shots are good. Nice post. I've no idea what that machine in your first picture does. Maybe someone else will enlighten us.
 
Great stuff mate. Just been over on your Flickr looking at these and the shots of the Mach Loop. Unreal! Gotta get together for a trip again soon!
