The hidden cargraveyard

The first time i went there was 2,5 years ago.
Not much changed in these years, decay is going slow, they made some good quality cars back in these days.

I still don't know the history behind them.
The story goes that they belong to american soldiers who went back to the US after WW2.

Walking there made me thinking: all these cars shipped from different countries, they made many miles, brought children to school,
pregnant women to the hospital, went with it on vacation with the whole family.
They all could tell you another story. If only they could speak.

Sad to see they had to end like this, but very beautiful also!

The don't look old enough to be from the war plus I doubt they would have had time for cars then. I love the way nature is taking them over and gradually making them disappear.Great photo's

They look fantastic amongst the pine trees. Bags of atmosphere in those pics, Bart.
