This one floated up from the depths of my archives the other day. I shot it some 40 years ago with a trusty Nikon on Kodachrome 25. The blue tint came from changing the White Balance over to tungsten.
That's Memorial Bridge in the background over which I and thousands of other commuters rushed daily in our morning commutes from Virginia into D.C. I noted this fellow weeks before getting the shot. He was out there every morning and from his age I suspected he was celebrating his good retired life, thankful that he had escaped the rat race. I can imagine he got a chuckle out of watching us rats race across his bridge.
Lyrics from Gordon Bok's "Hills of Isle au Haut" echo the theme of this shot:
"Away and to the westward
Is the place a man should go,
Where the fishing's always easy
And there ain't no ice or snow.
I'll haul down the sail
Where the bays run together,
Bide away my days
On the hills of Isle au Haut."
Old tractor at Swanton Farm, just north of Santa Cruz, California. I usually make a stop here when I'm on a coast drive for a cup of coffee and to buy a jar or two of fresh strawberry jam.
I found this old retired GMC truck retired behind a feed store, just caught a glimpse as I drove by so had to go back and catch this shot, the forgotten past.

In 1990 Crayola retired eight colors and placed them in the Crayola Hall of Fame: maize, lemon yellow, blue gray, raw umber, green blue, orange red, orange yellow, and violet blue. These crayons are part of a recent celebration which brought back those colors in a "special edition" box.
To replace the retirees, eight new colors were added: vivid tangerine, jungle green, cerulean, fuchsia, dandelion, teal blue, royal purple, and wild strawberry. Crayola currently markets 120 colors not counting some "specialty colors" such as metallic colors, confetti colors and neon colors. (Courtesy: Crayola)
