I live in TX. We often see this kind of things in rural areas, and you really captured some good ones. Noce.

Great photos. The pickup must still be in use; the tires aren't flat.
There are a lot of scenes like that in Texas. The little town where I was born and grew up has gone from over 3000 residents to less than 2000, mainly because as the children grew up most of them didn't want to be farmers and ranchers. They left for greener pastures, as it were. My grandfather had a Purina dealership along with a mill and grain elevator. When my wife and I drove through there in 2014 every building on the property had been so efficiently levelled to the ground that we couldn't tell any buildings had ever been there. Even the railroad tracks were gone. Sad.

Thanks much Bob, that old PU is sitting on sender blocks, I don't think it runs, but I could be wrong, You are so right it's so sad to see these old towns, barns and equipment just disappear.

I do. But there's so much more interesting stuff to see also, such as you demonstrate in those pictures.

These are really nice, I like this kind of stuff to me and my, wife also, it holds alot of interest. I think this is what photography is all about. It's really cool when you go into a resturant and see big blown up pictures like this hanging on the wall!
