Default Where Cars Rest in Peace


Where Cars Rest in Peace

What I said on flickr -> "I was out on a mini photography roadtrip and had driven past what looked to be an impound lot or a junkyard for vehicles. I stopped, backed up and got my vehicle into position to frame the shot. Unfortunately I had to jump on the roof of my vehicle to get this shot. It was awesome."

This is probably the best photo I've taken since buying my first DSLR months ago. It was a bit of rush to actually stand on my vehicles roof, but it paid off in the composition I think.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, this is fantastic. The reflection off the top of the vehicles is spectacular, and that tree in the centre is just perfect. Very well done!
