Welcome

I had spent a fair amount of time at the river earlier this week as I discussed in my previous post.

I was working my way back home ~ (isn’t there song with those words in it?) ~ any way I came across this amazing car sitting in a parking lot.  I had to drive a fair amount more to find a place where I could turn around and get back to it.

In an earlier life this was a 1953 Ford.  I say in an earlier life because there was not too many original parts on this amazing car.

I spent a fair amount of time photographing this beauty and frankly just looking at it from all angles.

The speedometer showed a mere 1,878 miles and I would suspect that those are the actual amount of miles on the new motor.  I really wanted to look at the engine but I didn’t want to touch it without permission and I just imagined what it looked like.

Remember you can click on any image to reveal a much larger and more detailed version of the image.

Enjoy your day.  Pray for our Country and stay safe.

An old panel truck

Happy Friday!!  ~  252

I knew I had posted a story about this old abandoned panel truck but I couldn’t remember what year it was.  Interestingly enough I was almost two years ago.  Actually July 14, 2102.  In the unlikely event that you would want to go back and read that post here is a quick link.

A short side story about this image.  I can go into the media file for this blog and look at thumb nail sized images of all the photos I have posted over the last 4 years.  I couldn’t find the image above on the first pass so I started at the beginning and slowly scrolled through them.

I would like to think my photography has improved over the years but the salient thing I came away with was, as I looked at all those images, I remembered in great detail what was going on when I took the image.  I can’t remember what I just had for breakfast but I can remember in vivid detail each and every one of those three thousand plus images.  🙂

Anyway all this rambling and remembering is all about this image.  I was on the way back from Cedar Rapids yesterday afternoon and this image caught my eye.  Well I had to turn around and take the shot before they got away.  I think you’ll have to admit, this is something you don’t see everyday.

That’s it for today.  I hope you enjoy your Friday.  Thanks as always for stopping by.  Oh and by the way if you want to take a side road on the memory trail you can always click on a month and year (on the side panel of this blog) to see what was up on a particular day.

Please be careful and enjoy your weekend.
