The trip to Alaska was primarily about photographing wildlife in their natural settings, but once in a while something would catch our attention.

Many of you know that I love to photograph old abandoned things - including vehicles.  While driving back to our hotel we noticed an old abandoned truck. Of course we had to take a closer look.

After a little research, it is a 1942 Ford Half Ton Pickup, and in pretty good shape.

The engine is a flathead 6 cylinder with a 226 cubic inch displacement, and produced 90 horsepower.

Here are a few other images.

I love to photograph the colours and textures of weathered paint finishes.  And the lines of old cars and trucks are classic.

This was a great diversion to photograph. I'm sure there will be others as well...
