World Photography Day August 19, 2023

A few years ago I read a web article about that photo and they showed a photo made from approximately the same location today. How different! I was not able to find that website again to share it.

To celebrate this day, I offer a photo of this nice tree.

It's been a long time since I have felt good enough to make a day out of just doing photography. So, when I was reminded about WPD23 a plan was hatched to get a photo I have wanted for many years. I drove all the way from Roanoke, VA to Reidsville, NC for this one photo. But never fear, I got some others for a bit of gravy on top.

The one photo I wanted:

Water and Smoke by P F McFarland, on Flickr

On the way to Reidsville, I came across this lot of abandoned trucks and trailers. I recognized this Ford CL 9000 cabover even under all the kudzu as one that I wish I'd owned back when I was trying to get a job in the trucking industry in the late 1970's. Actually got to drive an International Transtar II which was a sweet ride, but eventually I went to work for the railroad.

Switching back to color I came across a rare 1956 Nash Ambassador Super in really good shape parked in downtown Reidsville. They had a unibody and tended to rust out badly which makes them fairly scarce. You'll notice I was able to get the street sign support right between the Lucky and Strikes on the smokestack in the background.

Oh Boy! by P F McFarland, on Flickr
