April 29 2004:
No More Holidays

Mayford, Surrey

There’s a fascinating yard near me which is a really ramshackle place. There are a few businesses there, many dealing in scrapped vehicles and the like. I spotted this old caravan there today featuring the obligatory smashed window and oil drum.
Another dismal day so I enhanced it using Levels and Curves.

Interesting photo. You wonder how these things get to where they are.

oops... if that trailer could talk!

I love this dreamy, otherworldly effect you have used! Makes it seem like this has been sitting there for a hundred years!

Guest		30-Apr-2004 13:33
Looks like a job for a DIY makeover programme...!

I love shots of junky things. I thought I was the only one. :) Wrong. This is great.

Guest		29-Apr-2004 23:02
PS to the rescue, I like it!

Today seems to be the day for abandoned and unloved things on here. Your caravan, my Lotus and John Lumb's Concorde with its wings clipped. All three must have been special once and it's a shame to see them come to the ends they have. I love the effects work you have done on this, particularly the way it brings out the moss on the side of the 'van. Great work.

Poor caravan! Great shot.

Great PS work! I wonder what it was like inside the van?! ;)

Jill		29-Apr-2004 18:14
What a treasure to photograph and so well. Love the PS.

Guest		29-Apr-2004 18:00
Thank you for immortalizing my lovely house! ;)

Guest		29-Apr-2004 17:56
One less to get stuck behind! Great picture

Guest		29-Apr-2004 16:51

Guest		29-Apr-2004 16:45
Not your new digs I trust Ray... Nice find and post processing.

Fascinating image! Makes me wonder where it travelled with happy families, children, dogs and wonder also what it hides now

Merloz Paris		29-Apr-2004 16:43
What a lovely house !

Guest		29-Apr-2004 16:42
Great shot. Interesting.

Guest		29-Apr-2004 16:35
The finish you applied really fits this well!! Nice job!

Rick Lewis		29-Apr-2004 16:32
Nice the way the finishing hones it down to the simple interests in the photo. Good one.

Adalberto Tiburzi		29-Apr-2004 16:31
Very effective! btw, is this the hi-contrasty-nearly-solarized corpses day? ;-)

Robin Reid		29-Apr-2004 16:27
Hey Ray ... good eye for a fascinating subject. Don't think I want to move in!
