Great little shot there and the landscape is just as forlorn as that truck is! They belong together

I agree with Patrick that the background really fits with the old forgotten truck! Nice shot! I also really like your composition here. Nice work! Last Sept. we took a trip out old Route 66 in AZ. and it was so much fun! I really want to do it again sometime. Most of the time it felt like we were the only ones on the road which was kind of cool!

Yes it can get that lonely feeling out on some of the old stretches, although they are sadly disappearing. This one was taken near Truxtun AZ. I live right along Rt 66, so I tend to post a lot of pics from my outings. Thanks for all your kind words!
