    Abandoned......

    If they were left in a paddock here in Oz they'd be gone (sold/stolen/whatever) in a jiff.

    Hi Mark, out in the rural prairie farming communities it is not unusual to see old, broken down farming equipment, tractors, pick up trucks and the like abandoned in the corner of a field and left to the elements. In recent years however, some of the older classics are being sought by restoration enthusiasts.....

    They look like an old married couple !

    When I bought my property in France there were several abandoned cars in the woods and amongst them a couple of rare early citroen "traction avant". We put the word around and several enthusiasts contacted us - we proposed a deal to take all the abandoned cars, interesting and rubbish alike, and they could have the collectors citroens. Everyone was happy and our woods were tidied !

    I like this Len and am a wee bitty reluctant to suggest any edits, but perhaps have a look at a tighter crop (on the cars) and using whatever your preferred tools are to make the cars stand out a bit more?

    I was also thinking about a slight crop - but keep the full tree height
