This week I was surprised that Scarlet is more an orange-red colour when I thought it was a strong darker red so that was interesting.
I have picked this week a photo that was taken at the wonderful Barossa Valley (wine growing region of South Australia). It is of an old truck – a Fargo, which I had never heard of – it was used as a sign to a local winery.
For more scarlet photos please head on over to Jennifer Wells blog here and go down to the scarlet link.

I love this picture of the truck, with it’s textures and oldness, set against the field and the sky.

Thanks Cows 🙂 I liked that too, old and rusty in with overgrown grass and a beautiful blue sky. The poor old truck had a lot of character that’s for sure.

Hi Robyn, thanks it was full of character and rust, I just loved it. Wished I could have gotten closer. I’ve neve heard of a Fargo before, reminded me of mid west USA for some reason not the Barossa! 🙂
