comment

apparently a comment on our throwaway society, this work of art, or pile of junk, depending on your point of view, has appeared on April Fool's Day

evidently it is named Trans-Am Totem, in reference to the wreck on top

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/500s f/11.0 at 40.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Ha, so there are five cars. I had forgotten I had seen this 2015! I'm surprised I would have forgotten such a unique image.

INGENIOUS!!!!~V~

wow now that is art and great that you were able to capture for the rest of the world to view and comment

Actually I like it and I like your photo of it. It has a few pretty expensive cars in it - surprised someone ever threw them away instead of fixing them. ~BV~

Appeared overnight? er...

A really nice capture of well, lets say a unique perspective of the automotive age. Fun to look at and bring a smile. Your capture is much better than the quality of most of these cars when new. BIG VOTE

Great image of his funny display for April 1st.

Bizarre!

Looks OK as a temporary attraction but I hope it will not become a long-term monument... Really good shot. V.

A sign of the times. It captures the attention of passing cars. Does it make them think...
John Hamers02-Apr-2015 17:09
Wow ....great find..and beautifully captured V

I hope its gone on April 2. V

Now that's an impressive work of art! Very unsual scene :-) V

I think your vantage point is as close as I would get. There is an air of impermanence to this installation.
janescottcumming02-Apr-2015 15:09
Love the name! What a find and a really sharp shot of it. Fun for April Fool's day.
Tom LeRoy02-Apr-2015 12:05
I'm not sure every one from Vancouver will appreciate this "art". Cool shot, David. V
Helen Betts02-Apr-2015 06:59
Well spotted and captured, and a most interesting totem! It doesn't look too stable, though...
Allan Jay02-Apr-2015 05:39
Outstanding!

Great find and capture.Thank you for sharing.V.
Julie Oldfield02-Apr-2015 01:23
It makes a point that is for sure. I like it.
Gill Kopy02-Apr-2015 00:36
Are you April fooling us ?? It went up over night ?? Looks a bit teetery to me and the trunk not embedded in the ground - a good topic for speculation :)
LynnH02-Apr-2015 00:31
Ok, now I've seen everything.
fotabug02-Apr-2015 00:25
Oh my, just think of the money spent buying them when new! It's both, and a sad commentary on our throw away society.
