Default Some relics from the past

Greetings, I got these pics today while it was pouring rain. I think the overcast sky enhanced the colors (no color added in photoshop only levels and sharpening). The funny thing was while these pics go together as subject matter is concerned I photographed them several miles apart. I hope you like them. KC

I like both of them and like the color far more than the black and white. It could look great in B&W but not that version ... good try though.

I really like the color version of the truck. I think weeds and mud are a really appropriate setting for it!

both shots look wonderful
the colour and the natural environment around really make the scenes so 'real' (as in... 'it happens' )
but not many of us get to see these lovely old oldies lying about just like that
lovely
