One owner. Needs a little work. As a car guy it always pains me a little to see these old classics abandoned and rusting away.

It does have a touch of what Jaguar owners call 'metal-moth'!

Just about ready for an undercoat !! Nice shot and the place must be a photographers paradise.

Wonderful mix of green color and rust. :)

Needs a few parts it seems. Time to head to the Ford/Chevy antique parts shop in Oklahoma City. Been there, done that. Nice shot, tho. Bet there were no end of photo ops.

Loving these pics. bet a few critters have lived here!! xx

Oh dear - it has seen better days I'm afraid! Great shot Bill.

Very nice capture!!!

i think ive diagnosed the fault(x mechanic)

Hasn't seen an engine in quite some time, it's very clean! Wonderful shot!

Jerome, Arizona? Never heard of it. I know they have mothballed military aircraft languishing somewhere in that state. Anyway, great snap of the derelict auto, placidly sitting there, trying to outlast humanity.

I like what you did with your postwork. Wonderful use of selective color and sepia! The result is just right.

Stunning capture Bill. God bless.

Well spotted and shot, Bill!

not far from Sedona. I tried to go recently to Sedona but a serious wreck had the road closed going into the town

My internet came back, and I decided it was time to do some comments after such a long absence. I'll only be doing two tonight (so I can give two to everyone); but I'll be back for more soon. I suppose, after the beautiful Buddha shots you and Tara have posted, it's a complete turnaround to do 'decay' shots...but Buddha would've approved, as he found decay to be a great lesson to us all. (Find the center here and now, because all things are destined to decay...)

Love your old car shots, have from the start. Love the choice of what you gave us here. POV, I guess, but it's more a matter of deciding what to "hug" for us We see the front seat---what's left of the poor thing---and part of the engine---without much engine. And the roof, and an old tires in the background---actually 2. But man, it's like a big skeleton: like a fossil from another age, only it's clearly from our own. Great light on the green and rust hues. And detail on the wires and straw in the car. And I agree with tara, your choice of sepia in the background is a fine set-off for the more vividly colored truck: It sets us in the Depression, with its wonderful array of shots of subjects that were old even then. This is a cacophony, visually, yet oddly peaceful; because everything conflicting has been removed, leaving just the quiet 'eternal skeleton' of time. Buddha would approve of that. There was a famous koan, where a student asked a master: "What is the nature of Buddha?" And the master answered, famously: "A dried shit-stick". Literally...It means: The essence of wisdom is the dried remains of our remains, the dried remains of dried remains. Take away all the "important" stuff, in other words, and when you get to the sheer dust and emptiness in its wake, there you begin wisdom.

Well, however you see it, it's a terrific photo!

This is a very powerful reminder of our 'disposable' society!
