My New Ride

I was out in the Mojave desert last weekend and had some fun with the abandoned trucks around an old drilling site.

My dad said there is nothing out there in the Mojave, he doesn't know what he is talking about from a certain perspective. I like the blue fan and the green primer showing up. That bumber? I can't believe there aren't any bullet holes in that things.

Harley,

Looks like a ground up restoration effort. Nice colors, most of these old abadoned cars are just rust brown.

Thanks for showing us a bit of nostalgia, Harley.

Harley, the ride might need a little work, but the image doesn't. Looks like it must have been fun shooting. Best Regards.

Isn't it weird to think that at one point this car was brand new, and someone used to be the proud owner of that car? Weird to think about. How cool would it be to hear the history of this car's life. Great shot, Harley.

Cool image, Harley. I'd like to get there and do some macros of this.

WOW, just had another flash back in time here. Looks like the ranch truck I use to drive where I worked during High School days.
With the passenger side door open I expected to see Maggie sitting in the front seat area.
The soft lighting and perfect DOF makes this a real neat shot IMHO.

Great collection of colors... you couldn't have asked for a better variation. Nice find and capture!

Another nice find in the high desert, Harley. Great colors here. Well done.
