Description It is crazy at the beauty you can find in such "ugly" objects. This Old Ford truck, I believe its in the range of a 1942-1947 model. I really like it because had a wide range of colors on the body. Blues from the orginal paint. Yellow and reds from the rust, and greens from the algae growing on it. It was quite beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to view!

Wow! I'm glad you pointed out the colors because I might have over looked that point! I'm glad you tell the viewer what attracts you to certain objects. Different colors and actual life existing on something dead and gone!

I ready enjoy how you find a rainbow of colors in what most people pass by as junk. One idea, on a shot like this with similar "subjects" in the background, try changing the depth of focus so only the subject itself is in focus. also widening the frame a bit might help add to the abandoned feel of the shot. Lovely colors and interesting subject

There is something charming and fascinating about finding old contraptions like this. I always find myself wondering what it was like when it was brand new. This was once someone's pride and joy, and now it's a pile of rust. Very interesting. Good shot.

Thats very true! This truck could tell us many stories if it had the ability. And still, as a pile of rust, it holds a little beauty. Thanks for the comment!
