The dashboard on a vintage1929 American La France fire engine located in Charlottetown, PEI. The tender loving care of this vehicle is evident. The STEEL parts glow. It's a beautiful piece of history!

look at all them knobs, that has to be a manual car, which i love!
ReplyDeletethe steel parts do shine.
Very clever of you to get this shot. Superb!
ReplyDeleteI love old cars and trucks...even better when they are not restored. Love the processing of the photo.
ReplyDeleteLoving the sheen on those steel parts!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. They don't make fire engines like they used to.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool shot of what I'm sure is a very neat machine. I'd love to see the whole truck!
ReplyDeleteI jumped from Ziva's page to yours, and was immediately struck by the stark contrast of your photos -- her's monochromatic and lonely, yours fiery red and richly detailed. It's amazing the variety of photos that a single prompt can lead to, and I love yours. I love the worn and used yet well-maintained appearance of that dashboard, and the way in which it makes me want to see the rest of the truck.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. :)
This photo is totally-super-awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great eue to pick out the little details which make for spectacular photos.
ReplyDeleteThere is a richness to this pic that cannot be described... from a different era. Things were made so much better years ago!
ReplyDeletevery cool shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty neat. Something you don't see often. I like it.
ReplyDeleteMy god, that's a pretty photo! Where do you find these things??
ReplyDeleteawesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot - so robust! And i love the shiny textures. I once used the front controls (cockpit?) of an old aeroplane as an artwork too. The controls made interesting design too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautifully presented.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot! I'd love to climb into that truck and take her for a spin.
ReplyDeleteI see the history from this red pain. It's been painted many times it seems. Cool photo for steel!
ReplyDeletefun and wonderfully composed. I was remembering a bi-plane ride in Hawaii, for some reason, and that was fun!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo. My Dad is an retired firefighter and I grew up loving fire trucks. American LaFrance was always one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteA neat look at the past, and something most of us don't see, past or present. Nicely done! (Visiting from Weekly Top Shots.)
ReplyDeleteLooks well cared for! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Beautiful piece of history, indeed! =)
ReplyDeleteThat indeed is truly beautiful. My son might be on the path to being a firefighter... I would love to know what all those switches are!
ReplyDeleteA little piece of history photographed beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt really does gleam with pride and care... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #53!
ReplyDeleteGreat image!
ReplyDeleteI love how the inside is red. You never see that anymore with cars.
