Old Rusty Tank Truck In The Weeds - Near Carnation WA

De·crep·it – diˈkrepit/ – adjective, worn out or ruined because of age or neglect.

:  :  :

Here,

near the small western Washington town of Carnation,

I spotted this old tanker truck almost totally obscured in the brush and weeds alongside Highway 203,

the Fall City Duvall Road.

At sometime,

perhaps as a gesture to preserve it from the weather

and encroaching woods, someone threw a blue tarp over the hood

and it drapes over the grill,

rotting away.

:  :  :

My son (a mechanic)

thought it might be a Dodge from the late 1930s.

Me,

I haven’t a clue,

but I bet in her day

she was

a

beauty.

  1. Great shot, Madge. Reminds me of the Japanese “Wabi-sabi” (侘寂), which represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), the other two being suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū).Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
    Thanks for hosting!
