Those Infernal Flying Machines

Description

An old railroad track goes off into places, unknown. Hot air balloons float lazily by as curious birds fly at a safe distance, checking them out. Three deer on the ground don't feel threatened by these strange flying balloons. A small doe is ignoring the whole thing because she has found some grass, growing on these old tracks. Bright and cheery sunflowers are growing on both side of these old tracks, planted by the farmer that owns the neighboring fields. It's been so long since a train has gone by that the sunflowers have grown over the tracks, which were placed, long ago on a rise of ground. I can almost hear the bees buzzing, in this wonderful setting, except the clouds seem to be building and I would guess that those people riding in the balloons, might want to head home for the day.
This image was completely created. Thanks to pixaby for the railroad and hot air balloons, Jai Johnson for the texture. Sunflowers and deer were mine.
