The Naked Farmer - Part 22

 State of Nature

We continue our series of photos posted by the Naked Farmer, Ben Brooksby, a young Australian farmer who takes and posts photos of naked Australian farmers on social media sites.  The naked photos are to get people's attention, and his message is to encourage people with mental health issues like suicidal thoughts to talk about it with someone and not to hide it away.  Ben himself had suffered from panic attacks in school.

Farmers send Ben naked photos of themselves from all over Australia.  I've been posting these photos grouped by the Australian state they're from, but today's photos didn't give the location.  So, I'm just going to say that these guys are in a state of nature.

The photo above was labeled "Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong," the beginning of the song "Waltzing Matilda."  It certainly gives us a new image for that song.

This one was called "Fat buddies on a fishing trip."

And speaking of fishing, this one tells us "Life's stress fades away."

Four farmers survey their greenhouse.

This one is called "Happy Straya Day."

This one was labeled "It's not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."

Less philosophical, here's Richie and a sheep.  But Richie still found a way to enjoy a glass of wine.

And this one is labeled "Save water – drink beer."

This guy has a beautiful view, and so do we.

Here's a farmer tending to his windmill ...

and, doffing his hat, he provides another view for us.

We end with a group of farmers at sunset.  Nobody can say these guys aren't willing to lend a hand.
