I had posted this lovely photo of an old tow truck I found by the side of the road in Three Rivers, California. I still love that pic, and I think it's a winner. But, the more I thought about it, the more I wasn't sure that it really qualified as "abandoned." It was definitely old and retired, but I realized there is air in the tires and there isn't any vegetation growing on it. I think someone is taking care of it. Maybe it was OK, but I wouldn't want anyone to think I was bending the rules.

Anyway, I replaced it with another wonderful photo, an abandoned hogan, which is a traditional dwelling, on the Navajo Reservation. There is no question that this one qualifies, and I also think it's a better image.

Thanks!

Ross
