Morris Commercial

I spotted this old truck while on the way to meet up with some family members for lunch today, so wanted to make sure I stopped on the way back to get a shot. I love old stuff like this! It's wheels are a bit wonky looking and is perfectly rusted up :) It was just parked there in the middle of nowhere, on a section of an old road, that once upon a time was the main highway. Maybe someone has plans for it....
Ha! I dont think there are many miles left in this one!!! Nicely captured.

Fab! It was really just there like that?!

Nice one

Love the mixture of colours on the bonnet Fav

I love old forgotten (maybe) vehicles too. This is great. Plenty of rust and tired paintwork - the perfect subject 😉 I wonder what it's story is and who abandoned it there though. I'm imagining the settings for the beginnings of a horror story. In fact Stephen King wrote a sorry about an abandoned vehicle. Was good too 😉

Story not sorry. My tablet and I are going to have a fall out if it doesn't pack in changing my words on me 😳

@cottiac yes it was really just there like that. ...it's a section of road that is only used for the farms/properties along there & there was a gate/entrance just to the left out of shot, but I could not see a farm house or anything, butI guess it could have been over the other side of the hill. I assume it belongs to someone that lives close by

@paul10 thank you. That sounds like a good book 😉 hearing you on auto correct. ...I sometimes have the same problem & have to really be on the ball & keep check on what words my tablet has actually put 😞

TLC needed

They have so much character and this is a beaut! I wonder what tales it could tell!
November 18th, 2016  
A nice retirement project for someone. Nice find and capture :)
November 18th, 2016  
The colours of the rust are fabulous and contrast really well with the sky and green field. Great find.
November 18th, 2016  
I guess it wasn't going anywhere fast :)
November 18th, 2016  
Aw it looks quite sad. I hope somebody takes care of it. It has such character, a great find.
November 18th, 2016  
Nice shot, my husband would love this, he has a dream of restoring something like this one day.
November 18th, 2016  
great find. I'm told the old ute used to be left by the farm gate for the kids to wait for the school bus out of the rain!
November 18th, 2016  
I love that! I like dilapidated vehicles. That back wheel is a bit wonky!
November 18th, 2016  
I've not heard that word before, is this truck "smick"?
November 18th, 2016  
I would be climbing all over this, taking close up sections to use as textures. What a find ... I like the way the colours on the rusty old vehicle harmonise with the soft tones of nature.
November 18th, 2016  
Definitely an fantastic old vehicle and so photo worthy!
November 18th, 2016  
Makes you wonder how long it has been there. Hard to believe it has not been vandalised.

@cottiac @paul10 @onewing @pusspup @bob65 thank you all for your comments.....a bit of an update - hubby has seen people at the truck at various times during the week, and he thinks it's been put there as it is for sale ☺
November 18th, 2016  
@leggzy For sale?!?! 😃
November 18th, 2016  
@leggzy Interesting! Gotta wonder who would by a rusty beat up van with a wonky rear wheel 😮
November 18th, 2016  
The colours are beautiful!
November 18th, 2016  
Nice capture! I like the rusty tones!
November 18th, 2016  
@paul10 you would be surprised! Probably someone wanting to restore it 😉
November 19th, 2016  
@alfsson to some it would be. Trying to remember where I used the word smick? I may have spelled it wrong, should be schmick....which is as aussie slang word for smart or stylish
November 19th, 2016  
What a fantastic photo subject! And so nicely posed for you too. Wish I could buy it!
November 19th, 2016  
@leggzy The sale sigh will probably say "One careful and loving owner"
November 19th, 2016  
@leggzy You said that your clean carpets were looking smick. Never mind, the truck is ace!
