I stopped at Seepay Creek in Montana today as it's one of my favorite places to stop along that stretch. The sun started to peek out so I decided to wander around with the camera even though I was sort of in a hurry as usual. I think Ponderosa Pine trees are my favorite trees to take pictures of. There's just so much texture in and around them. And what's a Montana photo without a few old tires here and there? It's almost as if they morph from trash into an artifact in places like this. I'll go up to tires like this, check the size, and speculate as to what vehicle they might have been on back in the day., and what was the mindset of the person who stopped here and threw them out.. curious..Well a tire is one thing, but I can't feel quite as nostalgic about the other trash that was near..

I don't think I've ever had that feeling of nostalgia when I've come across an old tire. Mostly I debate whether I should take it home and build a plaything for Thanan out of a bunch of them someday. A tire fort.
The photos are lovely, HB. I love the red tones in the bark.
you want to take it home?
LOL, no, I don't think I need any from the states. I'm sure if I wanted to do that badly enough, I would have by now, or could find some tires here. Thank you though! :*
Just tell me what size you are looking for..
We see old tires along the rivers sometimes too. I pick up trash all over the place but tires are there to stay. (Unless someone comes back with a truck.) I love that spot. And the trees.
I used to love to go to the Emlo dump when it was a landfill. I've always been sort of a junk collector though..
