I have wanted to photograph this rusted out old van for awhile now. Since it's in its decaying stages I decided it was perfect for my letter "d" photo. It's located in the quadding trails behind our house. The quadding trails- known in the neighbourhood as the "gravel pits"- have all sorts of junk and a real mish-mash of things. Abandoned cars, bits of old roofing, and various other garbage, along with beautiful trees and rolling green hills that have been converted into quadding and dirt bike trails. My guess is that this place used to be the garbage dump or something but then has since been converted to its natural habitat again. The pits are actually quite beautiful now that they're all green and things are in bloom though. It's really deceiving. The ducks and even beavers seem to like to live in its standing waters. Strange but true.
I went by quad to this old van and the evening light was just starting to turn that brilliant "orangey" glow. It hit off the green grass and made the rusted piece of junk look kinda pretty I think, bringing the red out against the green grass.
