The other day I drove to a nearby area that used to be extremely rural only to find it being overrun with subdivisions. Just a few years ago I remembered the area as horse and cow ranches, one after the other, amongst beautiful rolling hills. I used to call it “going the back way” when leaving east from the bay area. Unfortunately, the ranches of horses and cows has significantly diminished as developers gobble up land and build houses.
Every once in awhile I’d see a glimmer of “what was” like these airstream trailers which brought a nostalgic smile to my face. 😀 Tip-toeing over the fence to get the shot and wondering if there were any people inside these trailers, I remembered a time when these were almost unsightly behind a fence. Now I smile as I fondly remember a day gone by.

January 19, 2015 at 3:30 am
Sad but true almost everywhere. Love the photos.
January 19, 2015 at 6:33 am
It is sad. Thank you on the photos Victor.

Great shots and I remember when Air Streams were the most expensive one could buy.
January 19, 2015 at 6:34 am
Me too! And thank you. 🙂

Oh I love that description! Thank you.
January 19, 2015 at 6:49 am
It a great shot that inspires a good comment 🙂
January 19, 2015 at 6:54 am
Aw thank you! 🙂
January 19, 2015 at 5:37 am
I love the look of the near new look of the trailers and the bare winter landscape behind. Beautiful.
January 19, 2015 at 7:35 am
Thank you Ben. 🙂 Very nice observation!
January 19, 2015 at 6:26 am
Sad what civilization has done to nature, Laura!
January 19, 2015 at 6:35 am
It is :((((
January 19, 2015 at 7:38 am
Like the look of those trailers Laura, MM🍀
January 19, 2015 at 7:39 am
Thank you MM 🙂

So-called “progress” tore down the beautiful and scented orange groves to build gas stations or parking lots here in Southern California. We receive oxygen from plants and trees, yet seem determined to replace them with asphalt and brick and mortar that give us nothing to survive. How odd is the thinking of corporations.
January 19, 2015 at 8:55 am
Very odd indeed. Some day…well I hate to think about it.
January 19, 2015 at 8:50 am
Airstream trailers are still manufactured and prized.
January 19, 2015 at 8:56 am
Yes I’ve seen them. It was just unusual to see a yard of them like this.
January 19, 2015 at 10:32 am
Ron is right, those trailers are jewels!
January 19, 2015 at 10:38 am
They are, aren’t they. Kind of unreal that they were all lined up like this with the same shades in the windows.
January 19, 2015 at 11:53 am
Nice nostalgic images and thoughts. Well said.
January 19, 2015 at 3:25 pm
Thanks Tim 🙂
January 19, 2015 at 7:56 pm
You’re welcome.
January 19, 2015 at 11:58 am
Nice images. Love the bw
January 19, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Thank you! Now how did I know you’d like that one, hmm? 🙂
January 19, 2015 at 12:47 pm
They look lovely all huddled up alongside each other Laura ! I’m not surprised you had to have a peep and click 😉 lovely shots .
January 19, 2015 at 3:27 pm
Thank you poppytump! I love that description, that they were “huddled”. They certainly were!
January 19, 2015 at 1:16 pm
Reblogged this on S.O.U.L. S-P-A-C-E.

‘Tip-toeing over the fence’….
still makes me larf and larf.
i fondly think of my good friend Tress Pass. lol.
January 19, 2015 at 8:01 pm
LOL..next time I’ll be scaling buildings in a black cat suit. :).
January 19, 2015 at 8:33 pm
Love it…and U ❤
January 20, 2015 at 6:28 am
aw thank you Gav 🙂 You’re sweet.
January 19, 2015 at 8:00 pm
Ah yesteryear. Wonderful images Laura .. I can see you over that fence 🙂
January 19, 2015 at 8:56 pm
I prefer color photos and I really like the retro color thing you did in the first photo, but your B&W rendition really does justice to the aluminum shells of these trailers. Bright shiny aluminum: that’s what they’re all about and what was so impressive when they were new.
January 20, 2015 at 6:29 am
I prefer color as well as you can probably tell from my images but I agree with you about the black and white for the trailers. it really does bring out the gleam. Thank you so much for your insight David. And I don’t know what happened here. I just had to refollow you.
January 20, 2015 at 12:16 am
You didn’t by any chance come across a lot of elephant tusks there did you? 😉 Both shots are equally beautiful though.
January 20, 2015 at 6:29 am
LOL, nope…fresh out of elephant tusks! Thank you. 🙂
January 20, 2015 at 7:15 am
Amazing how much the world can change in just a few years! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
January 20, 2015 at 7:24 am
You’re welcome Shannon. It’s kind of scary in a way!
January 20, 2015 at 7:34 am
Lol I was thinking that the terms ‘change’ and ‘progress’ can be a bit subjective depending on who you ask.
January 20, 2015 at 7:40 am
True!
January 21, 2015 at 9:21 am
Things are changing so fast here too! I miss the trees. 😦 Great find Laura and I love your processing!
January 21, 2015 at 11:40 am
Thanks Sharon! It is sad to see all this development. Can you imagine 100 years from now? *chills*
January 21, 2015 at 4:55 pm
Love these!
January 21, 2015 at 8:27 pm
Yay thank you! They are such cool trailers.
