Dodge L600 cabover flatbed truck. The tilting cab utilized the forward body of Dodge’s A-100 vans of the same era.
Though now retired after a career of hard work, it still has the appearance of standing with dignity among the simple and natural surroundings in Jerome, Arizona at Gold King Mine & Ghost Town. Though now destined to spend its years in the elements indefinitely, the galvanized steel body will help assure a fairly long existence.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Everything there wasn't junk they had this beautiful old truck.

Long 2 minute exposure of Flatbed Creek in Tumbler Ridge,

My second cyberpunk-themed train car, this flatbed will be riding around the docks of the next iteration of the New Hashima City collab coming to Brickworld 2023. This car was a particular challenge because it is big--so big that under a standard train base the bogies can't turn sufficiently to make the curves, so after a rest run I had to completely rebuild it on a brick-built frame that gave the bogies more freedom to rotate. Normally this rides on not one but two 9v motors due to the weight (just this and the engine will overheat and stall a single motor), but I swapped them out for photography because I found the shiny wheels distracting.
If that cargo-container chained down to the train car inspires some deja-vu, it is very similar to a design I used before in the Blue Lobster Cargo Shuttle. However I reskinned it in medium nougat and made some other modifications for this build.
Better than a billboard - What finer way to call attention to a landscape and garden center business than this fabulous looking Chevrolet 6400 flatbed truck which I spotted along Route 30 in Bondville, Vermont back in August of 2006 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
In 2000, two local boys discovered dinosaur tracks on Flatbed Creek, a couple kilometres upstream of these falls. Since then, the Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia area has been a hotbed for paleontologists, with discoveries of many other trackways and bone beds.
An extensive hiking trail system is maintained in the area by the Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society and includes trails down to the original trackway discovery and also down to this waterfall. On hot summer days, youngsters come here to jump off the rocks into this pool. Just be careful to know where the water is deep enough and please take your garbage back out with you.

When I do long exposures up in the Marin Headlands, I like to find a different variation of a previous composition and not just gravitate back to the same spots I have been coming to for years. This is also probably the one area that I have produced very little from that, nevertheless, involved a pretty heavy effort. We all have a location like that, I think. I have 10! But, that's another story.
The last time up here, I brought a couple friends with me to a dangerous cliff and we barely squeaked by getting the shot before the fog rolled over the hill and soaked us. Here (Down There) is a link to that shot from about a year ago when I was very new to flickr and couldn't process my way out of a paper bag. Wait, does that make sense?
Anyhow, the light trails that disappear into the hill are from vehicles entering and exiting the Bunker Rd. Tunnel (5-Minute, etc, etc.). My favorite thing about any shot from up in this whole area is how the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sutro Tower relate. Did you know Sutro Tower is 231 feet taller than either main tower of the GGB?
I hope you liked seeing this image made on a nice evening with good atmospheric scattering for that purple sky that I think Prince would like. Thanks for your support!

This is a shot from yet another trip down at Pigeon Point on the San Mateo County coast. If you follow the descriptions on this photostream, you will likely infer when this was taken. I would say, but I am starting to sound like a broken record. Certain people that actually have to hear my voice are tired of hearing, "What a year!" Wherever you live, as long as you're soaking up the color in the sky, you are doing fine.
Thanks for having a look!
