Jo O'Brien, about 1 year ago

Wow, this looks great. Can’t work out what the magic ingredient is but wow.
This is the kind of thing that would sell out of a print catalogue easy – so if you’re stuf isn’t already in one, start approaching them!

LisaG, about 1 year ago

Fantastic Mugsy, I love the framing…the tree (I imagine a hippy hugging it) the dark sky….(the closing of an era) the van is awesome.

Rose Moxon, about 1 year ago

what a totally cool pic!

freebornman, about 1 year ago

I’m sure this is my van Mugsy …... I lost it in 1963!!............. cool photo.

Brett Foster, about 1 year ago

Awesome picture Mugsy, but just so you know – there are a few of us left, in spirit anyway.

Sharon Hammond, about 1 year ago

Far out man. LOL. Nice processing Mugsy

Shanina Conway, about 1 year ago

Mugsy. Brilliant, just brilliant.Beautiful colors at perfect saturation. Love the composition with the tree weighing into the balance. It’s like you are peeking around it. Voyeuristic almost. Love it. Really Love it.

Louise Cooke, about 1 year ago

Absolutely superb!! It speaks volumes..LOVE IT!

Cathleen Taraw..., about 1 year ago

Or they’re passed out in the back… cool shot.

Alex Marks, about 1 year ago

kevy, about 1 year ago

imageworld, about 1 year ago

this is cool, we want to get one of these & restore it to an imagworld bug van, well caught & composed

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

Sadly this van is now a cube of metal, ready to be recycled.

EOS20, about 1 year ago

Great shot! Very groovy. :)

Deborah Parkin, about 1 year ago

.... but they still live on. This is a great shot – beautiful colours and tones and such an iconic camper – love it. Thanks too for your comment on ‘withering’ you really made me laugh saying you felt like you had been swallowed by a whale. Deb

Nicole Goggins, about 1 year ago

amazing colours…

Andy Harris, about 1 year ago

it may now be a cube of metal, but you’ve secured it a place in history and our memories with this shot – nice one!

marco britti, about 1 year ago

Yes! This one ‘has” what gets me! Fantastic shot Bugsy!

rippedangelwings, about 1 year ago

Cool! I wish I had one of those and travel europe!

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

Thodoris…. I really don’t think you’d want to…... it’s powered by a 1200cc engine, has drum brakes all around with the stopping power of an elephant drunk on Marula and skating on ice, as well as the roadholding of a castrated bull on rollerskates.
But if you’re going to travel, take me with…. I’ll help push it up hills!!!!
Still, I’m sure that so many of us had so much fun with these old buses (my parents had 2 of them… and they weren’t even hippies!!!

Rich Gale, about 1 year ago

super image so full of colour well done. Rich.

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

Oh, I forgot to add acceleration…....... 0-30mph= a looooong weekend!

palexander, about 1 year ago

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

How I wish I could have been at Woodstock! It must have been awesome!

Christiaan, about 1 year ago

Wow, nice find and nice treatment!

SherbrookePhoto, about 1 year ago

Wonderful shot, sad to know it’s been scrapped. Are they that bad Mugsy, c’mon i’ve had three of them (they say if you remember the sixties you weren’t really there: I’m the abberation: was there and remember). Drove a Kombi around Australia, slept on every beach in the country, likewise Fiji for two years. Kombis rule! So do shots like this.

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

SherbrookePhoto…...... I have two weaknesses, (don’t tell anyone!) namely women and motor cars, both God’s gift to mankind, but if all women were so slow, so cumbersome, so accommodating, so noisy, so….....................come to think of it…...............................!!!!!!
You’re invited to my funeral! LOL

Nancy Coyle, about 1 year ago

This is such an excellent photo…................. The treatment is incredible….. I can’t figure out what it is but it’s brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

billyboy, about 1 year ago

Jeeze, been a long time since I’ve seen a van like that. It’s still filled with smoke!! BB

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

Thanks to the person who ordered a copy of this! ..... much appreciated!

paul romanowski, about 1 year ago

everyone loves the vw bus. so do i.10.
good photo. excellent colours…

RonaldBreeze, about 1 year ago

Ride on! Keep on truckin’. Smoke dope, skip rope and have hope, go united! A far out shot! See we’re not all dead, we just look that way. I owned at least three of these and some of the best times of my life were spent in one including a spiritual journey up the California coast via Hwy 1, surfboard on top. It ended up taking three months and I lived out of my ‘66 everyday. Thanks for this pic it has really brought back some excellent memories.

Mugsy, about 1 year ago

I hear you Ronald…. we had some great times in ours too – fuel was cheap, it was safe to go where your heart took you….... nostalgia is a growing old disease!

Rita H. Ireland, about 1 year ago

That’s to cool!

shawhouse, about 1 year ago

Beautifully done. Rich colors and funny concept – far out and trippy…would bring back warm, toasty memories if, well, you know…peace.

Benjamin Scheurer, about 1 year ago
