It has History ... but no one cares

Except maybe me.

I found an old Dodge tow truck in a field. Half covered by grass. The landowner was nearby so I asked if I could hop the fence and take some photos which was ok by him. He told me how this old truck was once busy earning it's keep as a fuel tanker at the Brisbane Airport many, many years ago. After that it did service as a tow truck for awhile before being parked in the field and forgotten.

Thanks girls

Yes Bambi ... I did get a few. I actually took these a few years ago with my 400D (Rebel XTi I think is the American name).

It's a nice set, MA. I like the treatment on the first one too. Great stuff.

It's photos like this one that ensure things aren't forgotten. A story was passed along to you, and now you've shared it with us. One of the best things about photography is asking permission to shoot something. It usually results in a conversation between strangers with a common interest.

Thanks for sharing this one. It's my kind of shot.

Thanks Iggy and for your thoughts Barefoot

Very cool. I like looking at old stuff like this.

It's such a shame you'll never find old forgotten cars like this where I live. Anything not used is immedeately removed or replaced. No old buildings, no old cars etc.
And as you show, you can make really nice pictures of it. Really like them!
