Zerstörer der Welten by

My favourite piece of machinery – a giant dozer, with spudded rollers, of the sort you might see mashing up a landfill site.

To give you some idea of scale, the ‘landing’ outside the driver’s cab is 10ft above ground. This is one serious Tonka Toy, and in almost drive-away condition from what I saw.

The title comes from a segment of the Hindu ‘Bhagavad-Gita’ made [in]famous by Robert Oppenheimer on July 16th 1945. Although, given this shot was taken in Lincolnshire, perhaps it should be called ‘Destroyer of Wolds’ instead..?
