On one of the horse rides, we came upon this vehicle. They don't know why it's there, but it does make for a conversation piece.

on one hand it is a shame to pollute the environment like that, but on the other hand it has some weird beauty in it

There's got to be an interesting story to this. Actually, this reminds me of one of the shoot out scenes in Bonnie & Clyde, which takes place in a clearing, with cars fo similar vintage.

The contrasts, details and tones are superb in this image. Excellent capture and composition.

I'm jealous of your rusty old car finding skills. I think the sharp contrast on the car makes the shot, it separates the car from the environement.

Of course I have a vivid imagination, but I think it was left by bank robbers:-) What a neat find and captured so well...as always.
