Strange beauty Photo Gallery by Rob Oele at pbase.com

Strange beauty

These shots are all taken on a "trucks and machinery" park of about 2 acres. It is full of all kinds of vehicles from all over the world. Some are brandnew, others are decaying. If you look at the park from the outside you only see big cranes. But once I was inside I was especially struck by the colourful details. You can imagine it is real fun for a photographer exploring the area deeper and deeper and finding treasures everywhere.

This is a series which makes me smile and gives me good mood, such bright colours which transform these common details in a kind of amusing toys, like the little Lego bricks or something of that kind. An excellent idea once again.
