This gutted, rusting bus sits just outside of the abandoned meat packing plant we photographed in Bandon. The decay may be an ugly fact, but there is a haunting beauty in this image none the less. That beauty is largely due to the ravaged details. The patterns in the rusted metal and plastic signal covers; the delicate spider web next to the yellow arrow, the fragmented words on the peeling bumper sticker, all testify to the vulnerability of man at the hands of nature. Add the lush primary colors, and the result is an expressive image that triggers emotion and the imagination.
