Great photo for I love shots like this…There is a place a few miles away from me that has old vehicles just sitting by the roadside wasting away…Sad that several do not see the beauty in the older cars from back in the day when life was good…hard but good!!! Bev B

We are in full agreement. Certainly great beauty in these older cars. Imagine how lovely to see these cars running in Cuba.
Thank you.

Hi Mike,
Maybe it could even be rescued from the junkyard?
Have a good one, and take care,

It sits with memories of them…..the laughing children, now with grown children of their own….the parents, long gone. 10,000 sunsets, most spent alone. It yearns for companionship, and a horn that works.

Not country and western, please! Let’s go with something folk like, acoustic guitars.

Definitely! Something folky would be ideal… do you know any song-writers? Or maybe you could come up with a haunting melody and a sweet lyric?

And Ford and Chevy brag about the longevity of their trucks. I don’t think so. This old Dodge looks like it wishes it was still in the race. Nice photo, Mike.

Funny how this shot brings out the poetry in people. I love your “beauty in a junkyard” line. Guess I’m going to have to start hanging out there. At the junkyard I imagine I’ll get into a lot less trouble!

I find that I am real comfortable in the local junkyard. Not sure why….could be the trailer trash in me….could be I like the quiet historical solitude…..might even be that I find it oddly spiritual. And there are all those images!
