October 22 2005:
Piled Up

The scapyard in Mayford is always a fallback if I’m stuck for ideas. A pair of Toyota Starlets and a Volvo make their last stand.

Increased Saturation

This time last year :- ‘Meet Me in the Dark’

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/200s f/7.1 at 26.0mm iso200 full exif

Oh no! They've killed a Volvo. Oh, and there's another one to the left! Why, oh, why?

Guest 24-Oct-2005 22:57
Wow...there's such a variety of colors here! Cool.

Stu 24-Oct-2005 22:51
That's some parking. Is Jude having trouble driving on the right side of the road (which is the left)?

I took my driving test in a Toyota Starlet!

Karen Stuebing 23-Oct-2005 10:25
Great colors! I think they're running out of room. They need to start compacting some of these. :)

traffic is certainly stacking up in your area . . . left over tourists from your Trafalgar Night?

Carol E Sandgren 23-Oct-2005 02:46
I used to have a car just like that one in the middle. What a fun shot! Love the primary colors...so bright and cheerful for such a has-been scene!

Roe.. 23-Oct-2005 02:33
I'll take the one on the bottom..what a great place to hang out..love the colors and comp..

Guest 23-Oct-2005 02:05
One on the other.
Interesting stacking up. (Here they don't pile the dead cars like that).
Increasing saturation was the best thing to do: it suits perfectly to the atmosphere of the image ;-)

Can't accuse this place of being dull, LOL!!

joanteno 22-Oct-2005 21:46
Excellent shot.. love the colors!

Sharon Rogers 22-Oct-2005 19:18
RGB, how lucky is that? My eye is drawn to the bottle in the waste basket. Far too neat and tidy for a scrap yard!

JW 22-Oct-2005 19:05
Great shot - what is the speaker on the roof (right) all about?!

Dan Chusid 22-Oct-2005 18:25
Car shopping again, are we Ray?

SRW 22-Oct-2005 18:24
Great colour combo...! (I'll take the Volvo, please...!)

Guest 22-Oct-2005 18:24
Love the colors. And...this one made me laugh aloud.

Guest 22-Oct-2005 18:09
My friend has that volvo.... ahahahah

Guest 22-Oct-2005 16:57
It is funny.

Craig Persel 22-Oct-2005 16:42
Excellent.

Robin Reid 22-Oct-2005 16:38
I didn't know that Toyotas ever wore out! ;-)
You have an excellent eye for decay and desolation. This is a good one.

Guest 22-Oct-2005 16:35
LOL.....great photo.

Guest 22-Oct-2005 16:35

You couldn't have asked for better colour co-ordination - are you sure you didn't set this shot up :-)

Costi Jacky 22-Oct-2005 16:06
Colorful and very well composed.

bela45 22-Oct-2005 15:56
This is what I call a balanced act LOL
