Abandoned 'GMC'

Image
This truck was on the side of a barn near Rio road and JW Parkway just outside of the Charlottesville city line in the shadow of an old farm building. Charlottesville had a ruff countryside really close to the cityline and the County of Albemarle. This truck was simply abandoned on farmland owned by a family that had a farm where the extended city just grew up around it. The truck must have just broke down and been abandoned and as country people seem to do just leave their trash (big pieces at least) right in place. The eyesore of it is simple to be ignored as country people seem to do, mostly due to the cost of putting such large items into the landfill being so high. I'm sure this GMC saw much use but now 'its toast'. It sits still and rusting slowly. Just great as a subject for a still life. I used my camera though so I could work on it in the comfort of my home's frontroom.
