retired

Bluff, Utah

we encountered a few roadside relics along the way, and with car buff Dan in the crew, stopped to check them out...at 65 years old, this Buick was showing it's age, and clearly retired from the road

What a fine old car. Great colours and details here.

The coloration on the car is awesome and your photo captures that well, and that background is definitely a plus.

Very nice image! V!

Nicely framed and captured, David. This was quite a find and I looked forward to finding it. The POV here enhances the image so much by including the background rocks. ~BV~

What a super find, love the shape and the still-shiny chrome. Doubt if today's cars will look so good in 65 tears time.

They don't make them like that anymore. I think it still looks pretty good. V

A little worse for wear...hope I don't look like that at 65, lol! Makes a great photo though...rust rules!

Great short of this one time classic now but a shell and memories for some... ~V

Terrific find. The chrome still looks to be in good shape. Fine image of this old relic. Vote.

It seems to have assumed some of the surrounding colours. There is an evocative feel to this gorgeous shot. VV

Robbie D70		28-Apr-2014 21:59
Great composition with this grand looking car in a rugged setting. To be honest the glass is intact and the body looks whole and the chrome seems sound bet it would look fantastic with time and TLC.

Karen Stuebing		28-Apr-2014 20:34
It makes you wonder how long it's been there. Great find and I like the way it fits the landscape.

Apostolos Tikopoulos		28-Apr-2014 20:20

May be retired, but still beautiful. I like how the colors of the landscape are mirrored in the car. V.

Tom LeRoy		28-Apr-2014 16:50
Yes, this is part of the landscape. Just look at that shiny chrome! Cool shot especially with the fabulous backdrop. V

Cool find, blends right into the landscape. I like the placement of the two "towers" in the background, they really add to the image. Nice work David. "V"
