Flowerpot Car

It's amazing what you see when you have a camera in your hand and you're looking for images to capture - I must have passed this old pick-up more than a dozen times before I noticed it. It stands slightly off the road and, together with the metal figurines, is used as signpost at the entrance to a farm.

Can you guess what make of vehicle it is?






Yup, you were right, it's an old:


... I have no idea in what year it was made though ...

If Dead Cars Could Speak










As with derelict buildings, there's something about old abandoned cars that attracts me to them, especially when they're in unusual settings.

Perhaps it's their unknown history that intrigues me, how proud their new owners must have been at a time when animal-powered transport was probably more common than motorized.

What stories could they tell? Which roads did they travel and what sights did they see? What adventures did they take part in?

... and the obvious question, how many humans were conceived in these wrecks during moments of stolen passion?

If only they could be coaxed to speak ...
