Still on the bank
I've blogged about this old car before and I've collected several images for "rusty and crusty" in my Flickr photostream, but I just had to stop and photograph it again. It is embedded in the bank of the Minam River right above where that river joins the Wallowa River. I have no idea how long the old vehicle has been there, but it's a very long time! Old cars used to be employed to stabilize river banks where they tended to flood. I'm joining in with Madge's Rurality Blog Hop.

Interesting to read ,how old cars have been used.
cool pix
Huh! Using junk cars for a specific purpose. Pretty cool! Love the texture and brown tones.
Very creative photo of the old car and fascinating post ~ carol, xxx
Love the edit on this! :)
I did not know that about using the old cars to stabilize the banks.
Love that shot, very rustic... I'm always wondering just why 'that' spot became the final resting place of old vehicles... thanks for your kind thoughts today Evelyn... xo
Beautiful photograph, Evelyn, and I love your edit here.
A great find to photograph.
Wonderful photo, and interesting about the way they were used! I somehow lost you on my blog roll, but I am putting you back, Evelyn so I can visit more often. xo Karen
always a great subject.
You sound like me! I have shots of the absolute same thing over and over. This car is worthy of all your effort!
Very nice shot. It does look pretty rustic. There is one down near Battle Ground, WA where my brother lives that's logged in a tree. It went off the road though and landed in the tree and that's where it's been every since.
What an absolutely fabulous subject to have to go back to, time and again! I love this a lot!!
