melancholy

Tucumcari, New Mexico

signs of wear, and signs of violence...elections are underway in the USA, and everyone will have to hope for the best results in the face of simplistic right-wingers and the melancholy of the times

I love the emotion that comes from these old cars and trucks! V

The state of dilapidation and ruin looked even more incongruous against the background of a nearby building and couple of vehicles in seemingly good conditions ... a sign of the times perhaps. V

I can’t say I’m not nervous about the outcome of this election. The choice is black and white to me, either we move forward or we sink into a dangerous pit of despair.

Indeed melancholy mood! An excellent monochrome image! V

I love this image, I guess I'm not smart enough to see the political connection though.

There is definitely a story there. The fading letters and paint conveys a sadness. V

A great image of former glory. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a favourable outcome on this side of the Atlantic as well.

Ah, but the windshield is still intact for looking forward.

This strong and very evocative image makes you dream of the end of violence...V.

Definitely reminiscent of the state of politics in the US today.

souvenirs d'autrefois... triste vision de cette épave qui a dû être une belle voiture ! v

Even if the image of the USA is no longer as bright as it used to be in Europe, I assure you, it’s still better than this car carcass : ).

So much texture that show up well as a variety of clearly defined tones. Definitely conveys a melancholy mood. Now we just need an image that conveys the other feeling going on down here in the states - anxiety that the fascists might win. ~V~
