I took a few shots of this bus, found.. "in the back end of nowhere"..on our travels north over New Year...we were driving along and went around a corner.. and there before us in the middle of a farmers paddock she stood..

The gate to the paddock (and drive way) was open.. so I walked in and snapped a few shots.. Hope you like this one.

Thanks for taking a look...

Cheers Dawn.

nice subject!

This one really caught my eye. I love everything about it but most of all, the composition.

Cheers!

Are you sure it's not your motorhome?
What a mess it is!! But it can't have been there for too long as the grass isn't growing up all around it - yet!
Good find Dawn,
Janice

Hello, Dawn,
Indeed I like this one. So vivid colours, and I like how the clouds create shadows on the hills in the background. The image is very sharp with a nice composition.
Regards, Evgenia

Hi Dawn,

Are you shopping for a new car?

This is a very nice composition witrh great textures, colors and sharpness. I like how this used bus is contrasting with this pure and beautiful environment. Very well done.

Greetings.

Hello Dawn,
good morning!
Seems to see quite a bit of this sort of forgotton vehicles in the rural area when I did my travelling!
good catch with perfect clarity especially the blue clouds in the sky
Thanks for sharing
cheers

Trust you to find something like this, Dawn!..lol..

I'm sure this bus could tell a story or two! I really like those vibrant colours & razor sharp details! That Polarizer sure does wonders to the composition!

Well done

You could send this to DPhoto for a caption competition - I volunteer "all good things come to an end"

Love the sharpness and colour saturation here, the wreck just jumps out of the picture.

Happy birthday for Monday too... I would have wished you on the day (as it's also my b'day) but was sick in bed with a stomach bug from which I am still recovering :(

Hi Dawn,

Everyday I take my bus home from school, then I walk up the hill and turn on my street and there it stands, a little red Volkswagen just like this one. Not sure why the people have it, it's been standing in their driveway for over a year- never moves! I like this 'eye-sore' in the field, so perverse that it's humble. :) A very nice surrounding area and you know what I like this photo, it just seems so... right. :)

A good catch Dawn, thanks for sharing it.

Biance.
