Road To Nowhere

Well on the road back to Ballarat anyway ! {same thing }!! l came across this old car ,it remembers life past as it watches the new auto’s pass by,never to travel the same roads but frozen in time forever

4spotmore, 2 months ago

Wow, sentimental to me, as my dad bought a butcher’s van in 1938 and mum & dad moved to Qld shortly after their wedding on 8th of 8th 1938. It was a mottle green, a mixture of peeling paint …. I have no idea what happened to it. My mum was born near Ballarat. I would love to see more of these relics in that district. Great Choice.

This Looks almost like an HDR.
I love the Contrast of colours, you have Composed this really beautifully.
Awesome Perspective, I really like how the 90 degree angle made by the Window and the Hood makes for a comfortable Aesthetics as from the sky to the trees and then the Highway I think you put some ponderous thought into composing this particular image Trudi. Ultra Cool!!!

Road to freedom looks like road going nowhere to that old relic. I wonder if the people who once felt so proud of their new toy, would appreciate that it is still giving joy to people in its retirement. Wonderful vivid colours captured.
