SEPIA SCENES



TIMES GONE BY
Hiking in the country one day,
I happened upon a reminder of the past.
Sitting neglected in the woods,
Once having been a thing of pride.
Once shiny and hard working,
Now shot with holes.
Oh the stories this old truck could tell,
It used to be bright shiny orange but I thought
sepia served it well!

    I LOVE it!
    This is indeed so much better than orange would be. The sepia enhancement is perfect for this old truck.
    Thanks for your visit and wonderful comments.
    Love the water pic below as well.

    I'd love to get my hands on one of these as a project. If I had the time (and money) to do the restoration right that is.

    What a great find. What stories that old truck could tell. You served it well by making it a sepia shot.

    Like your poem and, yes, the sepia does suit the photo well. ;-)

    Super sepia. This is how I'd imagine a sepia scene post would be like before I joined.

    You've got all the makings of a story about this truck. The sepia tinting is amazing!

    That's a treasure-find for many reasons. I would love to have it as a subject to photograph. Great shot! Your poem really speaks for the truck too.
