Description
This car has long outlived its usefulness, yet it is still beautiful in its own way.
The first time I found this old car in the woods, it was above the Herbert River. I looked for it for a long time after that, never thinking to look over the bank. There is no road nearby, only a trail. At one time, there was a mine along the trail, back when this car would have been new. There are other cars of a similar vintage abandoned along the trail, as well. This was taken with a film camera. Later images were taken with my digital cameras. With each visit, the car came closer to disappearing in the river. Recent high water has washed away sections of the trail. I expect the the remnants of this automobile are gone as well.
