No longer needed
I found the remains of this old truck in the mountains just north of the City of Orange, California. It had become a part of its surroundings and was now consigned to the few parts that remained on its return to the dust.

Great capture! I love the B & W and sepia tones used. Composition and angle are excellent.
Nostalgia and decay all wrapped up in one image. Makes you wonder how it got there, who owned it and why it was abandoned…
