Out in the middle of nowhere, this swampy forest used to be the place for an active junkyard run by an odd character. Today, the scrap is abandoned, but hundreds of rusty car wrecks remains as a memorial.
Constructive critique on composition, printing etc is most welcome!
@grahamp Nowdays, I am sure you can find this place in guidbooks. It is called "Bilkyrkogården (eng. car cementery), at Kyrkö mosse (eng. bog)" and is located in the southern part of Sweden ( https://goo.gl/maps/anMm3KBc3xrvF7NR8 ).
First time I visited this place was about 20 years ago. Back then, the place was only known by locals and rarely visited by anyone. It was a very special atmosphere, almost spooky, at the place and you constantly found yourself sneaking around watching your steps. Nowadays, the place is well known and a tourist attraction. It is still a special place worth a visit, but the suggestive and special aura around the place is gone. Also, time and too many visitors has made many of the wrecks to fall apart. It is amazing how nature can reclaim tonnes of steel into first rust, then "soil".
Lovely photo. Both versions, cropped and uncropped, are equal in my mind, but they are VERY different photos, the cropped being subject-oriented and the uncropped more atmospheric. Tough choice.
The Swedes must have brought this practice along with them to America. If this has become a tourist attraction, then so would half the farms in northern Minnesota and the U.P.
I think the choreography of this chaos is very well expressed by this compisition as it is, do not crop please. I really feel movement here and if you crop it probably disappears
