I believe this old truck was used to haul water from the local community well.

Wow !! I like this photograph. Only one suggestion and a tiny one at that. I would crop out that sliver of a building, on the viewer's left side.

Maybe, just me, but that would make this photo perfect, in my humble opinion.

I give it my Gold Star wall hanger. An exceptional picture.

Great composition...all comes together nicely...also like the prairie grass blowing in the wind.

Great suggestion, I hadn't even noticed that slice of building. I actually have a second shot of this, the only difference is it is shifted slightly to the right and cuts that slice of building right out. Maybe I'll have to copy the settings from this image over that one in lightroom.

Thanks, this one had been haunting me for a while. I've known about it sitting out there for most of my life. Guess it was about time I got out and captured it.
