These are some old truck photos I took a number of years ago. I expect they are still sitting in that same field, sleeping. They are both International Harvester’s.
Old Trucks
Old Truck
This old truck is resting up after a life of hard work on the Kestner Homestead, now in the Quinault Rainforest area of the Olympic National Park.
Old Trucks
These trucks are all found in the same area. They make a nice set, but you need a lot of space if you are going to keep old trucks and not have them right next to each other. These were shot on Portra 400 with my Nikon FM3a … one of the last film cameras that Nikon offered … and the only one of the last, best Nikons to have manual focusing.
More Alaska Images
When I visited Haines, Alaska a couple times, I stayed in a small cabin close to the ferry terminal. As I was out for an after-dinner walk, I got this image of an old truck with one of the Alaska ferries in the distance. This is one of the smaller ferries that usually runs between towns, not the larger vessels that make the run from Bellingham, Washington.
The cabin had a number of grouse living in the yard. They were quite tame and I think were looking for handouts. I gave them a copy of my itinerary, but they didn’t seem interested in that type of handout.
Views from Ballarat
Supposedly, the pickup truck above was once ‘owned’ by Charles Manson, the cult leader in the late 60’s that was convicted of a number of murders. It sits in Ballarat, a small private holding within Death Valley National Park. Ballarat has a population of one.
Below is a building that is in Ballarat. If you want to call it a building. I thought it made a nice jumble, though.
