It was a black car, I wonder how many years it has taken that algae to build up?

I think there's one of your classic B&W's hiding in there as well. Where was it?

Hello John,
It's a village called Bourn, a few miles west of Cambridge. There used to be a garage, long since gone, in the village and they, over many years, dumped their old junk cars in a field behind the premises. It might be cleared by now, as they built a small industrial estate nearby. I will have to take a trip over there sometime.
This car was an American one, which probably belonged to an American serviceman in the 50'/60's at the Alconbury base near Huntingdon.

Interesting photo. I had no idea that mold or algae would grow on a car!

It's in a new thread titled "Green Car in B&W"

B&w? Naaah! I like this “Symphony of Verdure”
I wouldn’t lay money on it, but something puts me in mind of that car
being a “Henry J” !?
Is Bourn anywhere near Bournmouth(sp?) I attended a professional meeting that was held in that town in the 70s.
Best,
Dave

I agree, I instinctively try B&W Dave, but this one shouted colour, it's almost monochromatic anyway.

I saw your black and white version first. I was a bit confused about the "green". Usually these are rust colored wrecks. Now it makes much more sense. I still think I prefer this to the black and white version.

If I had only seen the bw I would have thought, what a fine shot. And it is. But the color ads a rich dimension that the bw lacks.
