Dismembered and dumped in a shallow grave!

I saw this scene as I headed toward Portland along the Columbia R. I returned at the wrong time of day, and made sure no one was close behind me because the scene is on a blind curve with no way to park. Just as I was nearing the location a car pulled out of a driveway and was pushing me and I had the camera set to shoot in auto focus and took the picture on the fly. I felt the scene had a story
The image is processed in photo shop with an added preset from Topaz. I used four different gradients with selective masking to balance some of the Topaz color to my satisfaction.
Feel free to explore the image with any program that would put your twist on the image.

Lynne, you win today's top award for most eye-catching title 😀
I think this is a fantastic shot for the pov, time of year and processing.
I first became aware of the scene from a photo posted to UHH by littlebiddle, who also lives in Yakima and who I used to see frequently when I was shooting the eagle nest in the Yakima River Canyon.
But I haven't been to the area of your photo because I decided after a few too many "risks," that I would cut back on my instances of shoot-from-the-car-while-stopped-in-the-middle-of-the-road 😉

Nice photo but the obvious question is - what model of auto is this? My guess is Ford Model A but the year is in doubt.

Only because you are allowing us to use the image with a favorite editor I am presenting here for your evaluation a b&w conversion using Topaz B&W Effects 2 as the editor.
I hope it meets your approval.

Shot on the fly? From a moving vehicle? I'm impressed, very impressed! Compositionally speaking.... and as Linda noted, with your post's title, too.
Hard to tell because of the state of dismemberment, but I'd wager on it being (or having once been) a 1932 Model B Ford Tudor Sedan. The Model A (1928-1931) did not have a vent flap on the cowl; that's where the gas tank was on a Model A, so rather than there being a vent, there'd have been either a gas cap or the neck of the filler tube.

That's a great catch - definitely not a Model A.

I am always amazed at the different ways each of see. I like your black and white a lot and the drama fits the scene. I have a lot of curiosity as to the presence of the lilac bush and location of the rusty frame placed in the bouquet of flowers.

Thanks for the comments. I am wondering what it looked like new and what it might pavement to a family.
