This looks very decent. Everything seems to be in place. Well spotted, Grant.

The truck is almost the size of the house and there seems to be a close relationship between the two. Terrific touch of humor in this...

is this perhaps a cheap way of adding an extension?
nice spot.

@david: the truck might be worth more than the building...

An interesting picture for its small frame house that seems to be sitting on very little foundation. The big truck adds lots of interest of its own. Nice one.

@Don: thanks don. this building has been empty for a few years. before that it was a tattoo parlor. i'm not sure if it was ever actually used as a house, but i'm guessing so.

Subtle bit of pattern repetition: the F O R D and the four digits of the house number. Along with the perspective lines, to me it makes them look like they belong together.

What I like is that the truck looks older than the wagon on its back, and the house looks really tiny making the whole shot intriguing and kind of cute in a strange sort of way.

House or business is my question. Windows seems awfully large for a front window. Great find.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): it was last used as a tattoo parlor, but it's been empty for a few years.

That's an odd pair. Interesting find.

ah a tattoo parlor. i was wondering what was going on with the right corner of the house because the larger door (it looks like) didn't quite seem like a garage door but it was hard to figure out.
the size of the two (house and truck) is amusing. and the light/shade patterns on the lawn are lovely.
boy there are so many questions with this one though ... now i find myself thinking about that truck and wondering why it's still there ... it doesn't look like scrap or junk and so what's it doing there ... it's big enough to haul lots of illegal stuff.

Well, if we need to move anything, we know where to find a truck! The small building and huge truck make a strange sight! Great shot Grant!

I haven't been into a truck before, but either that's a tall truck or that's a very low house.

Like yesterday's, the play of lines (in this case the echo between the truck and the house) is terrific. In this one it gives a playful feel.

You sure it's not just hiding the entrance to a missile silo?
