These Jeeps are beat to hell. Rusted, dented and held together by grit and memory. Jeep lovers keep them not for show, but because they've bled, broken down and come back together, reforged and shaped by the road. Don't worry, they're still running.

Open roads beneath an endless sky
The 395 feels like home
Wandering the Sierras in all their glory

A lonely pay phone booth
Where countless souls once stopped to call

Now it sits empty, still
The chatter long dead
Where voices once clung, now just wind

Last span of wood on the coast road
It beckons, silent and wide
Welcoming drifters down PCH

Its future, brittle
Its past, carved in skid marks, rain

One day it falls
Not today
I park in its shadow
Leave with the silence stuck to my teeth

I thought roses were just pretty things
Soft, safe, silky
But these feel like witnesses to a grim scene

Under #B&W, the stripes - crimson splatters
Red like something spilled
White like something drained

They're still blooming, just not for me

I didn't see it at first, just an old stump. Standing there, I realized it must've been massive once. It's easy to overlook now, just another shadow in the woods. Yet, it felt like it once mattered. Like it used to mean something.

"Field. Foliage."

Some crave space, miles of sky, never-ending grass and the wind's quiet hum. Others prefer to vanish, let the earth sprout about until even the door disappears.

One home in the vastness.
One lost in the green.

"Street Corner Fossils"
One movable, some rust. The other rooted, prickly. Both worn by time, but still standing.

That's what resilience looks like.

"Rewind Left Running"
A #bnw still of a current scene of an era long past. Returning #VHS tapes feels so long ago but the memories so fresh.

A glimpse into the worn soul of the I St. #Bridge in #Sacramento, #California. Will soon cease to carry cars and people across the river, set for replacement, the echoes of motion, bustle and memory will linger in the steel it leaves behind.

What's the saying, #aprilshowers bring #mayflowers? I'll enjoy the gloomy rain as it drenches one of the most underrated #flowers around.

This iconic #BMW #2002A looks to have lived a life of love and admiration. I wonder how many open road memories are under the hood.

The Stevenson Bridge spanning Putah Creek in #YoloCounty #California has a long standing battle with the local government for funding. Now it stands as a canvas for street artists to add their work to the layers of paint covering most of the bridge.

Found a late 80's #bmw #e30 looking for better days. But through the dusted surface the memories of days past shine through.

Mexico's Latinoamericana tower is not the prettiest skyscraper, but it is one of my favorites. It's dated functional design and weathered look tells a story of public admiration and utilization. Today, it proves useful to it's tenants and city with its digital clock and massive telecom antennas.

Bugs everywhere! Mexican bug culture is probably the most diverse globally since the classic beetle was made up until 2003.
