    Such a cool image, Phil….but o
    h….it really annoys me when I have my comment all ready to add….then find that everyone else has said it all :-) I really love the strength of colour, particularly where the rain has fallen on the boot. Wonderful range of colours/textures too….and the foreground grasses give a ‘delicate, transient’ touch to a solid, permanent ‘character’.

    there is such beauty in time passing by. weather taking hold of things man made and showing to us the fragile string that we all hang by. As they say “time is the best teacher, unfortunately it kills all of its students.” This car feels forgotten until you found it, and once again it became useful. Wonderful contrast.
