Calistoga Christmas Tractor Parade 2012

Rain or shine, every year in Calistoga there is a Tractor Christmas Parade. This year main street were packed with people despite the 1 or so inches of rain that fell during the 45 minute parade. Most of the shots were recorded at ISO of 6400 to 8000 to get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the motion.

This fire truck lead off the parade.

This tractor and trailor had to be made in 1940's. I like the metal wheels of the trailer.
