The tractor from the deep

Tractor creature, 21/12/25

‘Tractor runs’ seem to have become a definite thing in the last couple of Christmases, giving the local farmers an excuse to drive their machines out on public roads, blocking them while making large amounts of noise and raising money for, well, something or other. Following on from the one at home last year, here we have the Ribble Valley version. Virtually impossible to take decent photos of these things, at least, not with my kit, but I go with this one if only because it reminds me of something from the twisted mind of H P Lovecraft; Great Cthulhu’s Tractor perhaps?

Tree stump creature

Friday 13th January 2012, 12 noon (day 141)

Tree stump creature, 13/1/12

First of four days spent in the Lake District, all blessed by far sunnier, drier and (except Monday) milder weather than anyone has a right to expect in the UK at this time of year. There is plenty of detail of the walking aspect of the weekend, and lots more photos, on my other blog.

Today’s shot was nabbed in the woods near Aira Force. I don’t know exactly what this tree stump looks like, but it looks like something. There’s a kind of tentacular thing going on here, with blood-soaked mandibles. Very Mirkwood.
