Old Trucks
by Liz Bickel

I'm guessing from the 1940's or 1950's

The town was loaded with other abandoned and decaying vehicles like these.
These particular trucks sat in front of a yard filled with porta potties. That was a rather weird scene. Unfortunately, there was too much overgrowth and abandoned vehicles in front of the porta potties (maybe 30 of them) for me to get a clear shot of them. I really didn't want to walk on private property to try to get that shot. Dogs were already following my car and barking at me...You can see one of the porta potties through the front truck's missing windshield.

I'm sure there is some logical reason for all this, but I just don't know or understand it. Someday, I will investigate farther.

Nice and colorful. Would love to know the stories behind the old trucks. Sounds like maybe a hoarder, but who would want to hoard old porta-potties???

Love the colors, lighting and angle in which this was shot.

Nice. I like all the different colored parts on the front truck.

I love the perspective you chose. Those trucks sure are colorful at this point. That makes them much more interesting! ;)
