"Just Been Waiting on Parts"

Always a repairman’s excuse, when your car’s not ready on time. I found this old truck sitting in a paddock, near a mullock heap in Steiglitz, few kilometres from Geelong, Australia. Steiglitz is now virtually a ghost town, after experiencing a goldrush in the mid to late 1800s.

"Just Been Waiting on Parts" belongs to the following groups:

Goldrush and Ghost Towns, HDR Photography, National Parks of the World, Rustic and Rusty, Crusty and Falling to Bits

    What a wonderful static ‘action’ shot!!! Taken from behind with the door open, load falling … and the tree at an angle…the whole composition gives me a sense of an unfinished story. It is like a still from a movie Phil. Well done.
