Description
Title: Sugar TruckDescription: This is the sugar truck from the rainforest domes at the Eden Project in Cornwall. It's a beautifully painted truck, and although I know nothing of the history of sugar, apparently trucks transporting sugar were decorated like this because sugar was thought to bring something sweet into one's life, like good luck. Anyway, I thought it was very beautiful, and the photo came out well, so here it is! (I'll possibly move this into scraps depending on how many other photos from Cornwall I want to put up.)
Information: Taken with a normal Rollei camera. I dunno about the specifications or anything.

Gee, is that a photo of a real truck? Can't believe it, it's so colorful it looks like a digital painting! For some reason I like the plants (sugar canes?) in the foreground. The truck looks kinda old and forgotten, like a scrap vehicle parked in some field, but at the same time so colourful and happy - an almost surreal contrast!

Cool truck, defenately photo-worthy. It looks a bit overexposed, but I think that adds to the appeal here. Sort of surrealistic, like this truck is so sweet it'll burn out your sweet tooth or something.
Great photo.

I really like the grass stalks partly coming across the front, it gives an already hippy-ish truck more of an earth child feel. Just one oddity; what is that little speech bubble on a stick at the front bumper?
I'm just sad that it's on wooden blocks.

The bubble was just part of the exhibit- I don't really see the point of it, though. Thanks!

That look like a fun vehicle, reminds me of ice-cream wagons in my country, they're really bright too. The leaves on the left are a really good addition, they add to the happy-summery look.

That is such a vibrant-looking truck! I can kinda see why they would paint sugar trucks in that fashion...^_^
Great picture!

Ahaha--it looks so... retro.
I thought this was a photomanipulation when I first saw it.
It does have this bright, happy mood to it.
