I frequent DPReview.com almost as often as MV, at least a few times a day. They commonly have photo challenges resulting in superb photos. This one is from the Landscape series and somewhat relevant only because its vehicles.

Here were the rules:

Hidden away off the beaten path one sometimes comes across derelict cars. Rusting corpses of automobiles exposed to the elements. Make these your main element in your image...Only post broken down cars, trucks or motorbikes....


Play the slide show in full screen. Enjoy.

Cheers
Miguel

Here's the winner just to wet your appetite.

Hi Miguel,

I am also a frequent denizen of DPReview (micro four thirds forum).

Here is a "vehicle" I captured a few years ago.

Here's a tow truck on Tilghman Island Maryland that has been slowly disappearing for at least 20 years.

Nice shot. Love the composition and the truck peeking from the bushes.

Put gas and a battery in those tractors and I bet they run

Nice. When I was young there was an old rotting Packard in the woods on our property. I took a lot of imaginary journeys in that beauty.

So funny you should mention imaginary journeys in old junk cars. It brought me right back to sometime in my youth where I did that in an old car as well. The straw seats smell in the car sorta sickened me but I ignored it and "drove on". Thanks for the memories!

Ya, just like craigslist: "Needs battery. Ran when parked. No title."

Nice. You reminded me of my youth when you could just wander over onto the grounds of a local airport without fear of getting arrested. There were a couple of old B-25 bombers parked in an out of the way corner, that once in a while got resurrected as camera planes for war movies and then returned to their parking spaces. We kids used to climb up in them and fight an imaginary air battle.

Here's a couple in the Berkshires. The site was a old rock quarry in the woods.

From Boyce Thompson Arboretum, outside the Phx metro area. Not too many sit and rot around here, the hot rodders pick them up.
