Not your typical Iowa landscape! The Loess Hills of Western Iowa are full of scenic roads and trails like this one. This was taken just south of my hometown of Glenwood, Iowa.

In the serene ambiance of an Iowa barn, an old John Deere tractor sits in silent repose, its iconic green paint softened by the passage of time. Sunlight streams through an open door, casting patterns of light and shadow across the age-worn metal. This tractor, once the heartbeat of daily farm operations, now rests quietly amidst tools and memories, a testament to years of hard work and dedication to the land. Its presence speaks of early mornings, long days, and the satisfaction of a job well done, embodying the spirit of Midwestern heritage. Despite its stillness, the tractor carries an aura of readiness, as if waiting for the moment it will roar back to life and once again traverse the fields. This image captures not just a piece of machinery, but a symbol of resilience, tradition, and the enduring bond between the earth and those who cultivate it.
