WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: Part 984 - Old Objects

[joayne]

Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is Old Objects. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


This week we are looking for Old Objects, Antiques or Things From the Past.. Extra Credit if you can give us some history, explanation or information.


Here are the rules:

• Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives.
• 
  
• 
  
• Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you).
• 
  
• Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
• 
  
• Post your shots at any time during the week.
• 
  
• Please abide by the Focus on Photography posting rules.
• 
  
• Please keep your contributions to a maximum of 4 images or less.

As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.

Yes, and this one must be taken first thing in the morning, before you've even washed your face, let alone had coffee. No, wait, I bet she wrote "objects" to exclude those pictures. Who'd want to look at them, anyway?

is this old? probably depends on perspective...

A bit more recent but still old. A Power Wagon with a bit of an identity crisis. Dodge Power Wagons were made in the USA, the Fargo version was made in Canada. This one claims to be both.

Best guess, this is an old seed or manure spreader. A rare foggy morning here.

The fog suits the antique subject very well. The mists of time, the haze of memory, and all that.

Receiving ancient light from objects probably as old as time itself as we know it.
