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?

Attempts to create a new tradition by running a bunch of tractors and trucks, decorated in lights, through the centre of Hebden Bridge on 24th December were greeted by this photographer as an opportunity to depict something different on the 14th Christmas Eve to grace these virtual pages. Did he (I) really see the point, though? Well, not really. But it did draw a reasonably sized crowd.
