Description
Another exploration of the beauty of heavy machinery. This one is a Caterpillar used to control the sand dunes drifting across the boardwalk at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The juxtaposition of such a big vehicle parked on the steep side of such a friable dune made it very attractive to me.
I thought at first with all the graffiti on it that it may have been just left there to rust, but when I went back the next evening to shoot it again it was gone. Tracks in the sand should have told me that, but I was too focused figuring out camera angles to capture the big picture to notice the fine details at the time.

Great photo... like the angle of the shot... cool sand cat!
this is cool info and shot..
In the hands of a true artist, even heavy machinery can be works of art - this is superb, Roxy! Who would have thought such a commonplace, utilitarian bit of equipment could look so good? I love the angle - at first I thought you'd tilted the image r camera for artistic effect, but I see the slope now that you mention it.
Great perspective on this!
This is a very cool capture Roxie, and I love the setting here also. Being a big fan of heavy equipment, I am enjoying this series.
Nice shot!
What an eye-catcher. Like the vignetting and overall presentation very much Roxy.
Yes, a nice shot! No one would leave one of these to rust away...worth a lot of money!
Impressive to meet one of those during a walk.
Excellent shot
Cool shot!
