Torgny,

Thanks for identifying the tractor make and detailing the info. In Swedish as you say, but I think I can guess at most of the stuff.

A Volvo tractor...boy is that firm prolific...cars, class 8 trucks, tractors.

Years ago I had a 1962 Volvo PV544 with the B18S engine. To this day I wouldn't mind having a restored PV544.

Very reliable, great handling, great shifter.

The PV544 is a legend here (as well as the Volvo Amazon with the B18 motor) Yes, very reliable cars. Many work on old cars and make them "as new" A PV could run more than 1 000 000 kilometer just with regular service.

You´re welcome to this city. Besides the enormous Volvo area there is a Volvo Museum with all kinds of products, also tractors

Volvo also makes air craft motors and outboard motors. It´s very diversified

Great photos there Torgny, very good use of light, the tractor looks like it is towing that building.

Great wild life photo of yours.

Personally I like very simple pictures with few elements, so the last one perhaps. I go for form, composition and depth as I think that you do

Thanks for your interest

Thank you.

Some very well known PhotoShop guru stated that that you only have 30 minutes a day to photograph, 15 minutes around sunrise and 15 minutes around sunset. That´s rubbisch.

Yes, when you mention it, it´looks like quite amusing. Thanks for notising
