In my latest trip to Israel I was walking through the desert and saw this abandoned car, I asked the locals and it turns out, that car has a very long story to tell. It was during one of the latest terror attacks on Israel, that this car was hit, there was a family of three inside who where killed instantly when their car burst into flames and rolled down a cliff. It was left there, in the desert's blazing heat as a bitter reminder of a dark action... :(

I got the angle in a way that the car is "staring" into the open, with nothing ahead of it, and a giant pile of stones blocking its retreat, as if to give it a "dreamer feel", however, I applied a soft Lomo filter so that is has more contrast and strength to it, to represent the harshness of its past.

What an utterly depressing photo - I like it. It really tells a depressing, tragic and sad story.

its not that interesting and a little over exposed, but just slightly.

it looks like the contrast was bumped up way too much in post processing. too much of the sand/dirt is blown out.

a little too bright. next time in israel on the way to jerusalem there are remainings of tanks and military vehicles that are 40-50 y/o I don't remeber their story but I think they brought supplies to jerusalem.
