Alabama 431 Hwy Eye Candy for Inspiration

[Dr. Cranky]

Folks, I just returned from the 2010 Birmingham Classic which in my opinion turned out to be a FABULOUS show! On the way up and down highway 431, I found lots of road gold. I hope you get inspired by all this rust, junk, and gunk!

Enjoy:

Some great stuff there, Cranky. I really dig that old service station in the first few frames. Cool stuff.

Cranky,

Looks like some folks are using your weathering techniques on full sized vehicles and structures...................

That Ford truck with the long arm in front is indeed a tree shaker, used in pecan orchards to knock the pecans out of the trees for harvesting. The arm is long because there is a canvas skirt that is placed under the tree to catch the falling pecans; the arm length allows stand-off distance for the truck to prevent crushing the pecans. It looks like the truck is parked in a pecan orchard. If you look close you can see pecans lying on the front of the contraption.
