Kombi From Mars
I was on my way to the Simpson Desert through Birdsville, Qld. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this burnt out Kombi.

Casey Smith
Thats a cool shot Ben, makes you wonder what happened to the people who watched it burn, or left it there to gather rust.
Tony Middleton
great find Ben ! nice composition on the old ‘heap’... Could look good as a B&W as well perhaps ?

I like that shot.
Matt Lauder
Find wrecks like this out in the bush is gold. I agree with Tony this as a B&W with a bit of a duotone would look great.

likehow the sky and the ground & rocks reced so quickly from the VW – did you use a fairly “short” lens?
Ben Messina replied
Thanks for the comment Jim, from memory the focal length was 16mm.

This is a wonderful image! I lost a VW Bus in the 60’s, wonder if this is it??? Great work indeed. JK

I agree with all of the above, I just love painting these, it’s almost like painting a portrait, great find and even greater capture, well done. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for this guy, next time I’m travelling that way.
