Waterparked

[invisible]

The photo is nothing special, but I thought the scene was.

This pond is isolated. A few metres to the right there's a gravel road. A few kilometres away there's a 3-block small town in the middle of nowhere. The truck has been there for at least 6 months (I've seen it twice since 2011) but most likely for decades, and will probable see another generation of Manitobans drive by.

I explored every possible angle to make a good photo of this, but after about 30 minutes of walking around the pond I realized I needed hip waders to get to any good vantage point. This truck would be gold if shot from the water with a 10-stop ND filter.

Anyway, this photo is here not because it's good but because I felt I had to share

Nothing special?
I think it's very special!

Lot's you can do with this location.
I'd love to do a light painting session with the front of the truck.

Thanks for sharing!

On paper yes... but like I said there's no good angle to shoot this truck unless you get in the water.

Aquaphobic?

Aquaphobic?

Not if I had hip waders. My camera/tripod might disagree with the idea, though.

That's cool, I've found a number of cool old trucks, but never one in a pond. I would be all for hip waders, and maybe finding a model to pose on that truck, that would make one hell of a model portfolio if you found a rowboat to borrow.

The landscape is outstanding...but how much the plunged vehicle goes with the landscape is a bit doubtful
