these cars, all compacts now, have reached the end of the road, squashed then loaded onto barges for subsequent recycling..

Now that is a real pile-up. Here today, gone tomorrow. V

There are a fair few cars all squashed together in that stack! V

Great capture. It's good to see them being put to good use. V

Wonder how many cars that is. You're right, they certainly are compact now!

That is some high density parking. I think I even see some of what car rental agencies would call a "sub-compact".

Great capture… I was so glad we floated close enough to photograph the action…

They certainly have seen better days. The throw away culture. Vote.

Hopefully destined for "shiny new cars" !!! Amazing what compaction does !!

A great story telling shot. ~V~

What a huge stack of cars! Well captured with the equipment in view, too.

Cash for clunkers cars? Now that program was a waste of perfectly good cars! Interesting capture David!

They'll soon be shiny new cars

That's a lot of very well squashed cars, great image to show how our society operates at times.

Strong statement on our disposal way of life, that even cars, the second most expensive thing we buy after our homes becomes a throw away item. These will probably be exported to China for further processing and return to us in some other form.

This certainly will resonate with car owners. An excellent image. "vVv"
