A few photos from this past weekend

Went to an abandoned truck farm in Virginia this past Saturday. Tried my hand at light painting (none of those photos are in this set though) for the first time. Definitely had fun.











And a couple from my adventures yesterday.

This guy collects old trucks like some people collect porcelain figurines. So they sit rusting on private property (for which we had permission to be on).

WOW - really wonderful photographs. I love old rusty metal and it is warm and gorgeous the way you show it.
I like all your photos but especially the first / third / and fourth.
The first for what I deem flawlessly balanced composition, the third for the clever and startling vantage point, and the fourth is memorable for its sheer beauty.
Well done, and thanks.
