Interesting Finds

 

When I drove to north Phoenix to photograph the hummingbird mural I featured on Monday, I saw this window with the overflowing window box so I snapped a photo.  That's when I noticed the reflection of the vehicle.

So I walked over to that strange looking vehicle to get a closer look.  I think it just sits here on the corner as a sort of display.  There was nothing to indicate that it was used for anything.  It looks a bit like some type of armored transport but I really have no idea what it was once used for.


When I drove around the back and spotted the "tree" mural, I also found this rather amusing carved log wearing a pair of shorts.  Someone must have thought that this log looked very much like a human torso so they added the shorts confirm the look.

  1. Someone will identify that vehicle so I will check back to see what it is.

  2. It is a Unimog, a heavy duty utility truck, a lot of them were for military use.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimog

  6. At first I thought that reflected truck was a toy sitting in the window box! That stump with the shorts is just bizarre.
