Farm trucks

I discovered this corner, in a small eastern washington town about 10 years ago. Every time I get in the area I try and stop to shoot these trucks.

It seems like they gather on this corner. Some disappear, but most remain once they arrive. Maybe a purgatory for old trucks.

    Thanks for viewing and commenting. It is always fun to try and find new, different and interesting compositions as these trucks are moved around the lot and as the lighting conditions change.

    I agree with Richard #6 and#7 are my favorites. I like them as they are, but being a rust junkie, I would be tempted to play with the hues and saturation.

    Thanks. I have considered working over the rust images, but haven't found the time.

    Shooting this kind of stuff is a prime motivator for me. Like Cristóbal, the RUST JUNKIE tendencies I have really come to fore when spotting targets like these. Good work.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
