Theme Day: Rust and Ruin -- Ocean Safari Woody

Today's worldwide Daily Photo Theme is "Rust and Ruin."  I am bending the rules.  This is not a photo from Tamarindo, but I could not think of a good rusting location in our small town and I have some photos of rusting vehicles from which I decided to choose.

This a former "Ocean Safari" touring vehicle.  It is a "Woody," with open sides.  It would be good in a warm climate such as Costa Rica.  In addition to the unusual vehicle, it is odd that the wood exterior is in much better shape than the metal frame.  Someone in the past cared for the wood, as ordinarily it would be the first element to deteriorate.

I took this photo at the Driven Winery in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, California, in the Sierra Foothills east of Sacramento.  The owner of the winery must be a lover of old vehicles because they had a lot of old, rusting vehicles, with a lot of farm equipment, on a hilltop at the winery, with beautiful views of the rolling hills and vineyards.

This week we have photos of daily life in Ethiopia posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
