Off topic again. One of Jerrys old trucks he still uses to haul hay in from his near two hundred acres out of Silverdale Wa. I found this shot the best way to photograph the old flat bed. Pretty dull on the outside, but with the sun shining on some of the key areas on the inside, i thought it was kinna cool and old looking. Turn key and go. But watch out for the old barn floor, its almost a hundred years old and when the cows get out and in it, the boards kinna break.

Maybe not so off topic. Looks like nature is giving this old beast the patina of age. Like you wrote, Cliff, kinda cool.

Agreed, not nature but cool.

Cliff - good eye and processing to b/w that is spot on. This one pulls me in.
BTW, this looks like one of those older models that had the starter switch beneath the gas pedal. If so, when I was young and had borrowed one of these from a friend I couldn't figure out how to start it. I kept thinking there must be a trick to turning that key to make it start. In the end, I turned that darned key so hard it caused a short and made smoke billow out from behind the dash! I was very embarrassed when I had to call my friend up...

this has nothing to do with nature photography and should not even be on here!

Yep Geoff, sorry, turn key, push starter pedal. Good funny story on the key! <> Sorry Darren, i guess cameras for sale should be in here? Have a nice day. :)
