More Derelict Vehicles

One of our favorite places in the county is a home in the foothills of the North Cascades that has old vehicles and derelict machinery all over the property, all of it gradually rusting into oblivion.  On July 27th we went with several family members to do some photography there.

 

 

While there we ventured further on to the property and looking through the window of one of the old buildings noticed this rather creepy item in front of another window.  The house is filled with old objects and we had photographed it before, but had never looked in the windows or seen this.

A previous blog post has other pictures of this place and of the machinery there and my son-in-law's Flickr page also has photos:

Derelict Machinery

On Wednesday, December 29th, my son-in-law who was visiting, my youngest son and I went out to do some photography.  Since our time was limited we went to a place in the foothills of the North Cascades about a half hour away where we had seen and photographed a yard full of old vehicles and machinery.  The place is not a junkyard, but appears to be private land on which a quite a number of these old vehicles are displayed without any attempt being made to protect them from the elements.

The vehicles include old cars and trucks as well as old tractors, and old logging and construction equipment including an old steam shovel, old bulldozers and caterpillars, and old farm equipment.  We would have asked permission but there seemed to be no one about and no one said anything about our being there and taking pictures, so we snapped away, though the day was a bit wet and gray.  These are some of the pictures we took that afternoon.
