Here is another picture from the hike by the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta. In these rather dense woods, we were quite surprised to come upon this car that had definitely seen better days. Notice the drive shaft through the roof? I have no idea how it got there as no road exists. I guess there must have been a road at some point before the recreational area was designated, and the trees were allowed to grow in. I will likely post several pictures of this rusted heap. This is a situation where, were I to shoot this car again, I would untilt my tilt-shift lens, but I still like the shots enough to post. It's really hard to tell the effect of the tilt, good or bad, with only the feedback on the small screen on the back of my camera. The aperture was around f/4.

Next month, I am thinking of going to the Outer Banks of North Carolina (US) for a long weekend getaway and photo shoot. I will likely concentrate on the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and Cape Hatteras National Seashore areas (between Manteo and Buxton). Does anyone have any specific recommendations on things that I must see with my camera there or a place to stay? I'm thinking of going for about 4 or 5 days.

'Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.

'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust --

Ruin is formal -- Devil's work
Consecutive and slow --
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping -- is Crash's law.'
- Emily Dickinson, 'Crumbling is not an instant's Act'
