Old Rusty

This aged truck once enjoyed a vigorous life with a fresh green coat of paint. But since retirement, its splendid green has faded as it languishes in abandonment, subject to corrosive elements of the weather. It has remained sedentary for so long it is known now for its bright red hues, hence the name Old Rusty.

    Old Rusty does look charming still despite being retired. Lovely photo.

    A very suitable name for this once loved four wheeler.

    what makes this funny ... that one spotless white wall tire ... everything else is falling apart and that one tire looks like it was just put on

    Great shot Doug. Bet that this old car would have a few stories to tell.

    Your picture skilfully captures the beautiful melancholy that so often comes with urban decay.

    Love how you raise the rusty old hulk to art form...
