Love it

Jo O'Brien
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!
Lisa Jewell
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
what a totally cool pic!
freebornman

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

imageworld
this is cool, we want to get one of these & restore it to an imagworld bug van, well caught & composed
Mugsy
Sadly this van is now a cube of metal, ready to be recycled.
EOS20
Great shot! Very groovy. :)
Deborah Parkin
.... 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
amazing colours…
Andy Harris
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
Yes! This one ‘has” what gets me! Fantastic shot Bugsy!
rippedangelwings
Cool! I wish I had one of those and travel europe!
Mugsy
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
super image so full of colour well done. Rich.
Mugsy
Oh, I forgot to add acceleration…....... 0-30mph= a looooong weekend!

Mugsy
How I wish I could have been at Woodstock! It must have been awesome!
Christiaan
Wow, nice find and nice treatment!
SherbrookePhoto
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
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
nancz
This is such an excellent photo…................. The treatment is incredible….. I can’t figure out what it is but it’s brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

Mugsy

paul romanowski
everyone loves the vw bus. so do i.10.
good photo. excellent colours…
RonaldBreeze
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
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
That’s to cool!
shawhouse
Beautifully done. Rich colors and funny concept – far out and trippy…would bring back warm, toasty memories if, well, you know…peace.

Marjorie Wallace
Great memories of these old classics. I never had one personally, but of course had friends who did. I still have those idealistic longings for “Make love ~ not war” and “one world ~ One people” A great capture and an instant favorite.

Alice (what they called me way back when) lives in a suburb in Texas. She’s in disguise with glasses (real name Judy) and waiting for social climate change. Old hippies never die they just keep on truckin’.
