The things we leave behind. As the years go by more things discarded by humans pile up on this Earth. Soon they'll be no more room.
Do like the look of this photograph. Not sure if it was your intention, but the low saturation works well giving this photograph an old look. B&W might work well too. Great composition.

Excellent comp Craig, and I agree with David about the effect of the low saturation.
I enjoy the "conundrum" in old cars: How old do they have to be to become antiques and collectible? I know devoted car nuts that would consider midnight raids to "clean up" this and the other junk at Scotty's.
If only other types of junk could become "antique."

Excellent shot Craig. Photographically, this is reall nice in both composition, exposure, and processing. It's also nice that it tells a story about the history of the area, and the carelessness of man.

1929 Ford Model A Truck , believe or not this is restorable. The give aways are the frame, and cab. 29 Model A's are the last Fords to have metal sheets tacked to a wood frame for the body. The 30 and 31 Model A's had less wood and more metal, the 32 had an all metal body. So much for the car nut stuff, this is a cool image Craig.

Great image Craig. The somewhat desaturated appearance works very well. Out of curiosity, why the ND filter with the rather long exposure?
