great capture!
Thank you, Charmiene! We screeched to a halt as soon as we saw it… Too good to drive past!!

A free range Kimberley Kombi…….love the colours and framing, Mieke!
:) :) :) We were actually running really late to meet up with someone, but when we saw this, we couldn’t drive past without stopping! Typical photographers…

Great find Mieke, I wonder if he’s the same bloke who made his pile when pardon won the cup? ;)
That was Pardon with a capital P… :)
Tee hee hee… I don’t think Combi vans were around when Clancy and The Man from Snowy River were chasing wild brumbies…
=D
But I guess he could kinda be seen as the old fella reminiscing on more eventful times… in that, I can see the parallel…

pity it was a VW and not a ford… geddit? Ford? Harrison?
OK, enough with the lame jokes, love that colour combo, nothing beats that dramatic brown, gold rust colour, combined with the azure sky of the outback. Placement of the tree adds a weighty balance to it.
Tee hee hee… you fellas are all so witty today!! ;)
Thanks heaps, John. I think my head was actually ON the ground to take this photo … glad it turned out okay!

I love the cloud Mieke. I can see so many things in the encompassing shape :) Love Harrison too, he’s seen a lot in his lifetime
Thank you, Robyn!! I think he’s probably had some good times, yeah ;)

Cool photo!
Thanks, Catherine! It’s a cool car!

Love your composition Mieke!
=D
Thanks, Tim.

What a great shot, Mieke! Three loners gathered together for a moment in time… the tree, the cloud, and the old Kombi. Looks like the Kombi was cannibalised for anything useful before the carcass was left for future archeologists to discover.
I’d say there were four loners, except that Jonathan was there too. So yeah, I guess there were only three. I think Harrison will be waiting there a while….

nice capture miss mieke, looks like the combo needs a bit of work. It’s funny how we call the image title by the name that has been written on the vehicle, see my pooch parnaby
