6.18.04 Farm Use

Dovesville, Mathias, West Virginia

This old truck is parked outside of a feed store that
has long since gone out of business. It's in a town
called Dovesville that has also ceased to exist.
I know this isn't the greatest, but the best I could come
up with today. (alternative at http://www.pbase.com/image/30299859)

My kind of shot. But much better executed than I could do. I love these old rusting vehicles. There is a real old timey feel to this photo. Superb!

Carolina Pines by Kate Wolf

Just an old house with the roof fallin' in
Standin' on the edge of the field
Watching the crops grow like its always done before
Nobody lives here anymore

The sun's going down on the Carolina pines
I'm a long way from home
I miss that love of mine broken windows empty doors
Nobody lives here anymore

Old memories come whistling like the wind
Through the walls and the cracked window panes
And the grass is growing high around the kitchen door
Nobody lives here anymore

Once there were children and a few hired hands
A hard working woman and a bone tired man
Now that old sun steals across a dusty floor
Nobody lives here anymore

Beautiful song for a beautiful picture

Great photo. Its a pretty funky old truck! I like the lighting here - its got a really nice rich golden quality about it!

Despite the shadows, I actually quite like this. I think the evening light kinda fits with the twilight of this truck's existence.

sad to see it just sitting there rusting away :(

I personally know about a half dozen individuals that would love to restore that truck...

Oh the sadness of decay in small towns. This image really captures that!
