All the blue
The back side of the morning’s rain clouds were the very same blue-grey color of the old truck. This was one of those rare times when I knew for certain that the resulting photo would be posted in color…
Lubbock County, Texas

(This is the last shot – for a while, anyway – from the Day of Driving and Photographing. You can see the other ones here, here, here, here, and here.)

I really like this shot, the promise in the sky is as alluring as the beaten up truck!

Thanks – the phrase “promise in the sky” is especially appropriate for what was going on: it was our first big rain in a year.

WOW here in England rain is an everyday staple! I couldn’t imagine it without.

In my part of Texas we average around 15″ of rain per year, so even a wet year for us would seem like a drought to you!

I love these old vehicle images.
Melinda, I’ve been out a couple of months, and hopefully I’m back permanently (whatever that means), but in the meantime, I’ve gotten a new website up and running (http://johnstrongarts.com) and incorporated Visual Notebook into it (http://johnstrongarts.com/blog). If you wouldn’t mind, could you change your link address to Visual Notebook to reflect the change? Thanks!

Before I read anything, the thing I noticed was the way the sky echoes the tones in this grand old truck. Yes, it had to be colour. Lovely shot, Melinda

Even someone who posts nearly everything in black and white can tell when something HAS to be in color! Glad you like this one, Andy!

Thanks, John. I was glad the clouds were so cooperative, matching up with the truck like that.
