watch your composition (IMO), you are getting very close to cutting off the tanks... move your camera up a little more :)

HA, the second one is an M-109 Howitzer! I used to be a cannon crew member on one of those when I was in the Army! Haven't seen one in a while, thanks for sharing.

Thanks much guys! These machines are just a couple of miles from home and I drive by them everyday...so the cool clouds yesterday and it being Memorial Day, it seemed fitting to shoot them...pun intended! :)

-RadAL...definitely do not want to cut-off a tank! :)

-jde95tln...cool, pehaps this was yours! :)

-PhotosGuy...thanks, yeah the skies were wonderful after the storms.

-aridan...thanks and yes, these are all 3 shot blends.

-carpenter...I do not know much about these on a technical level but I am sure somebody on here knows.

-Standard Browser...thank you. I think that first image is one of the newer editions to this little Memorial and since we just had some hard rain it helped clean the old boy up a bit.

-bsmotril...thank you as well! They are neat to see. This clinic has a wide assortment of items on display, here is one of the cannons there as well:

Great photo´s Serrator !!

The M-109 brings out memories...used to work on this years ago as a mechanic (Netherlands army)...was fun driving this baby for a testdrive !

I also got some junkyard tanks for you,guys :D
Found these here at the army barracks I work. They use them for towing practise. It are old (German made) Leopard 1 battle tanks.
