The Jerry Can

This is a photograph I took at Keys Ranch in Joshua Tree National Park. It's a wonderfully preserved area and only accessible via a guided tour. Time has truly stood still at Key Ranch. The photograph is over a Willys Jeep parked and left to rust away in Keys Ranch. Also spread around the area is a lot of other old cars, trucks and parts of old vehicles. A ranch house and a workshop is also there left as the owners left them. As far as the name of the photograph, I gave that name after leaving the color of the cans in the trailer. As a kid growing up my dad had a couple of jerry cans he kept in the garage with fuel for the lawn mower. These can were old Army surplus that dated back to WWII. The reason for their name, they were named after the people that designed them initially, the Germans (Jerry being the name the Germans were called during WWII). In fact the Jerry can has an interesting history that can be read here.
