Wrecks of time
...rusting remains of older American cars lined up close to the Nevada - California border. This was right off Nevada 373 (it changed names to California 127 on the border).
I find wrecks and old abandoned cars fascinating. There is so much history and expression in cars that just sit waiting to be dismantled, sold or wrecked. They can also express nostalgia of a time long gone or things that have passed. Moreover wrecks can provide interesting contrasts to the surrounding landscapes and can look ominous at night.
We saw so many wrecks on the trek from Madison to San Francisco. I regret not stopping and shooting more of them. I especially a red old trucks sitting in a valley in Utah. We came around a curve on the way from Bryce NP to Zion NP and I saw the truck, but we were trying to reach Zion before sunset, but the truck had perfect lighting sitting in the middle of a field with some hills behind it, but then I was already 500 meters down the road. Darn. Can't shoot everything!
I think it works better in black and white, but I posted several other angles and some colored shots below.
