Swish, swish, swish. Back and forth. Back and forth. The wipers, on this old Chevy pickup, were getting a solid workout the other day. As a matter of fact, the small, faded black truck looked a bit anachronically lost amid the snow, slush and whizzing vehicles of this 2011 winter, but no matter. It just kept poking along. As I passed it on the left, those Frost lines from "The Runaway" came to mind:"Whoever it is that leaves him out so late,
When other creatures have gone to stall and bin, Ought to be told to come and take him in."
Smile!
wonderful perspective on this photo.
ReplyDeleteAw, love the photo and the aptly chosen lines . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat texture, form and color -- you nailed it -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI thought that perhaps this was your trusty (uh, rusty) vehicle, Bird! My husband has a '76 red Bronco truck (toy) with wipers like these. It has a monster of an engine though.
ReplyDeleteSpring is coming, spring is coming... just keep repeating to yourself...

Nice photo, reminds me of
ReplyDeleteWindshield wipers slapping time, holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew
This is just a great shot. I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I wonder how it passes inspection.
ReplyDeleteJudging by the split window, that truck is really, really old. Surprised they are using it for winter driving!
ReplyDeleteOMG this is a good photo. Nearly but not quite abstract. Perfect exposure, subtle color. That's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteswish, swish. i love the word anachronically.
ReplyDeleteThis has such a cool feeling about this shot. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteReally cool shot! Love the way you cropped it.
ReplyDeleteI love this photograph! My, what unique vision you have. This is a wonderful illustration of thinking outside the box.
