A vehicle graveyard

Me and DaNece are driving through Kirkland when she says to turn around… she saw something cool.

 

I didn’t see anything, but I trust her judgment so i flipped a yuey and drove down into a wash to find some shade. We ate a quick lunch, and then ducked under a barbed wire fence. What we found astounded us both.

 

It started innocuously enough. An old car stuck in an embankment:

 

Certainly not something that I see every day, but a nice photography subject nonetheless. But then we looked down the side of the wash and saw a long line of vehicles, all in disrepair, and all classics by the look of it.

 

This one had a lot of dirt inside, but hadn’t yet been taken over by the earth:

 

This one was a little more on it’s way, being half-filled with rubble:

 

We both agreed that this was one of our favorites. It had a trea growing out from the rusted-out floor:

 

Hard to get the doors open on this guy:

 

Some cars you could see only bits and pieces of. Like this half sticking out of the ground:

 

Mostly taken over:

 

And some seemed untouched, such as this truck-front pointed sky-ward:

 

Definitely a great place to play with HDR, and all but a few of my shots took advantage of it.  It was very neatto look around for a while, before heading back onto the open road:
