Bulky/ Photo Hunter


A maple tree growing in the back of this old pickup truck

Perfect for a rural property, this truck planter is a tad bit bulky for an urban doorstep.

This week's Photo Hunter challenge: bulky

    A great rural capture! That truck needs more than a little oil and gas! I took a photo of an old Trabant car in East Berlin before the fall of the Wall; someone had made the engine space into a flower planter!

    I know there is a joke here, but I'm just not sure what it is.

    This is definitely bulky, but it is a great find.

    EG: I guess that gives you an idea of how long the truck has been there.

    A bit rusty, too! It looks good out in the middle of nowhere, though! Nice capture!

    You've jumped a few centuries from buggy to the truck and it's just as fabulous a photo!

    My hubby always wanted to invent a machine that could restore these old vehicles just by pointing it at the old heap. LOL

    I Love it. There is a similar truck not too far from here and I always say I am going to take a pic of it---growing trees. But something stops me and I don't know why.
    Yours is perfect. MB

    What great photos! Love them. I think that vehicles of the 30s and 40s were rather bulky in shape. The 60s got a little sleeker... but the aerodynamics didn't kick in until, when, the 80s?

    I goofed for Photo Hunters this week, and did "12" instead of "Bulky." :S Oops. But I decided to leave it up because it's appropriate for this week... and because I didn't want to spend an hour doing a different post! I hope you can visit.
