SW Washington State

This steering wheel is off of a car that was abandoned in the woods about 1/2 century ago. Most of the car is just a rusted pile of metal that is overgrown with moss and covered with leaves and such. The Steering wheel and switch are one of the few parts that are still identifiable. As you can see it is a Buick Eight (straight 8 cylinder)and I believe it is a 1937 Buick.

I really like this picture, Jim.. very nice composition and details.. the center of the wheel is off the center of the object and top left and right diagionals are anchored nicely to the frame corners.. very strong

Great one! The surface texture is beautifully realized. This is my favorite for this assignment.

Fantastic shot, Jim! I just love tripping over this kind of history in the woods. It's like finding a lost Mayan city :)
