VW. Here Comes The Sun, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

I think this shot is one of my fav’s from the day. A cold and frosty start and then the sun breaks through the trees just as I line up this shot of a VW jigsaw. It felt like magic.

BTW. All the selective colouring on this shot and the previous ones is done using Silver Efex pro 2 (Pre-Google).

If you like you can catch up with my other shots from the car cemetery here:

Yet another Decaying split screen VW van caught my eye. This one is complete with it’s own botanic gardens.

Even in this state you can appreciate the iconic shape of a VW van. Some design forms just have staying power to the last gasp.

Old Friend, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

Old Friend on Flickrit was like meeting an old friend that is not doing so well. I took this shot two years ago Seems strange to get emotional about a such things. However when I wander around a place like this I get the occasional lump in my throat and I have to move on to the next motive

One of my very first shots of the day was this Saab lying in the long grass besides the gravel road. The frost really brought out the textures.

To Give you some idea of just how long this VW has stood here look at the wing mirror grown into the tree. The arm has rotted away you can still see the impression..

An old Swedish Postal Service van slowly rots away. I used Color Efex Pro 4 in post on this one. I fell in love with this shot so I thought I’d share it :0)
