Junking

So Will and I went to a junk yard last Sunday. Largely it was a date. Now most people would be horrified, you went to a WHAT on a WHAT? But really, it was rather nice, the birds were chirping, it wasn't hot, or raining, and it was a beautiful way to spend the first couple of hours of the morning! We spend about an hour wandering around marveling at all the different ways the cars were stored dismembered.
Being slightly morbid, I found myself rather fascinated by some of the wrecked cars. Nothing like seeing the end results of a car fire, or a massive collision to put your life in perspective.

Pictures clockwise from the top left:
* My Dr Martin boot. New boots are good, slightly worn and scuffed are better!

* The front end of a car that had been raised and put on tires, bellow is zoomed out picture, where you can see the engine block in a jumble on the ground. To me it looked like the car had chewed it up and spat it out.

*The front end of a car that had been salvaged after a fire. Notice all the melted aluminum? That was the radiator once.

*An engine with the top removed. I just thought all the parts were pretty.
