"Old Hippies" Retirement Home

Summer time at the "Old Hippies" Retirement Home.

This bus belongs to an old friend, he raised the roof many, many years ago and lived in it while rebuilding an old house. The bus is now used for storage and wood working projects.

That is a fun shot!

A very interesting image of a subject with lots of potential. Would be very interesting to see more shots when the light is more dramatic, perhaps early day or late day sun. Definitely would have been a 'far out' hippie pad!

Thanks, I have shot this several times and this is one of the best.

As far as dramatic light goes, this location will be hard pressed for dramatic lighting.
this property is literally at the base of a 4800 ft peak and the sun doesn't hit the bus until about 10A.M. during the summer. Immediately behind this bus are towering evergreen douglas fir trees. The bus passes into the shade at about 3:30 in the afternoon. I think the best I can hope for is trying to capture it in the early morning open shade.

Where is that photographer's spirit? Go out and rent a chainsaw! Anything for the shot!
