Retro car light

Although it was at the back of a classic car, that light made me think of the face of a warrior from another planet, with a winged helmet and a fierce determination

Mercury

I love classic cars and was certainly not thinking about finding one parked a little way away in Yosemite Valley. Beautiful color, and nice touch with the plush dice hanging from the rearview mirror!

Chi va piano va sano e va lontano

The newer cars are zipping left and right, but this truck is in no rush; it's been on the road for 62 years, says its owner, and plans to still be there long after your vehicule has retired :)

Barrow Creek

On a pit stop at Barrow Creek on our (long) way to Darwin, I still had time to snap some pictures of this truck, certainly not as old as my previous red truck post, and definitely not as well maintained!

V.O.R.T. (Very old red truck)

There are quite a few car aficionados at my company, and every year they put on a show. This was one of the stars, an authentic Ford F100 from 1959!

Blue truck

I liked the shape of this pick-up truck that I found a bit out of place in that street. Framing and composition are less than ideal though.
