Along CA-4 Looking for Photos

I went out looking for some possible photos along hwy 4 just west of Angels Camp, between here and Copperopolis. Here is what I was able to come up with. Parking old vehicles in fields is a thing here. I don't know why this is done exactly, but it is a common practice. In some places, folks even seem to do this as a way of decorating the scene.

This tree also caught my attention. With a little bit of effort, I was able to separate it from the background trees and give it some interest. Sure, it would be better to shoot it in the early morning or late afternoon to get better light, but this ain't bad for a middle of the day and a smoky sky.
