Reynaldo D. Reyes level-classic July 12, 2011

Dale, this is absolutely engaging. It looks like a shot from Bodie but probably from a different place. This is the way they used to make them I guess. #1392595

Dale Hardin July 12, 2011

Thank you Reynaldo. Not from Bodie. Took this in the desert at a private ranch that had been overrun by fire a few years before. There are a few more images from the location in my gallery. #9526164

Heather Loewenhardt level-classic July 14, 2011

Oh how I love this image Dale. The angle and lighting with all that glorious texture and grunge make it so beautiful. #9529439

Dale Hardin July 14, 2011

Thank you Heather. Perhaps we could introduce this to your "Discarded Relic" and get some toy cars for the grand kids. :o) #9529639
