Color Challenge: Friday - Blue, Vintage Blue Truck

This striking blue vintage truck immediately caught my eye as we entered the animal farm. I thought it was quite creative how they have put this old truck to use again. It serves as a shelter for the ducks and chickens, and an excellent focal point in an otherwise plain colourless setting.

I decided to take photos of the truck at different angles to capture the essence of its beauty. I immediately thought of an old buggy they used at a play school which also struck me but I never took a photo as it was many moon years ago and mobile phones not as advanced as today. They made it nice and comfy on the inside with a huge steering wheel for the kids to play with, in the bonnet they planted bright yellow and orange daisies, and in the trunk, they had a colourful array of Violas and Pansies. This was the children's favourite hideout during play time.

My creative brain started turning when I saw this truck, coming up with all kinds of ways to utilize junk vehicles. One of my favourites and something I am going to try out is to give shelter to my two big Rottweiler dogs. Old dog houses are always so boring but by using an old car still with windows and doors attached, you can offer them shelter and in the trunk and bonnet you can either plant herbs or a bunch of bright coloured flowers."

What will an animal farm be without a big used "Trekker"? Pity, this one was not vintage too but I decided it is a must to complete my album.

First 4 photos taken with my Samsung A4 2017.

The bottom two photo's I took off the net to show you what people did with their vehicles to create a centre point or theme in their garden, using old junk cars and trucks.

great post ! thnks for sharing

This is a good idea for parts that aren't restorable. Even with the mismatched panels and use of wood here and there it works well in this setting. The functional yard art like planters benches tables and chairs are among my pieces and it feels good to save this kind of steel from the scrap yard even if it is only for a short time.

This 1947 1953 Chevy Truck Hood will likely end up on one of my posts soon.

Thank you for sharing this steelartworks. I am now scratching around at junk yards to see if I can find something interesting for my garden and in the same time serves as a warm shelter for my dogs. Have a lovely weekend!
