Vintage Fire Truck

CLICK TO ENLARGE!!!

I love old vintage things. Especially firetrucks. This ladder truck was sitting out in the middle of a field in rural Morganton, NC. It reminds me of when I was little and I would get so excited to hear the sirens, not realizing that it usually meant a disaster was occurring. I think most children are oblivious and just like the flashing lights. I know my children always loved to see woo-woo's emergency vehicles flying down the road, and so do my grandchildren. Now I say a prayer for the personnel and victims when I hear a siren. 

I've a busy weekend coming up attending a writing workshop so I will be gone, gone, gone. I'll hop around and see your beautiful photos and respond to comments next week. Sorry!

Have a great weekend, Y'all!

      Thanks, Nancy. It's hard to photograph something that long!

    Great shot. I love vintage things also. I discovered an old white sewing machine and table. After fixing it up it is my new favorite piece of furniture.

    I want to thank you for for you kind comments. I am so glad that you are getting something from my posts. Things have been very crazy for me lately and I have been trying my best to keep up on things. I am glad that you are trying new things with your camera, you made my day!

      Andrea, Thanks so much! You are a veritable fount of information and technique. I love how you theme everything and it encourages me to get out there and look through my lens again. I found an old sewing table but all I did was clean the dirt off. Maybe I should paint it?

      Linda, It would be wonderful in a parade! I don't know if they ever do things like that with it or not but it looks to be in working condition.

    We love vintage firetrucks. My uncle used to restore them as a hobby.

      That's cool, Lisa! What a fun hobby. I wanted to climb on this one but my boys kept telling me I would get in trouble and they didn't want to bail me out of jail ;)
