✈️ 🚂 🚗 Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a cable car!) 🚡

Old cars taken for one last drive and dumped in forests. Cable cars left in silent stations. Soviet-era planes, once gate guardians to old air bases, now just an out-of-place curiosity. Huge rusting steam trains languishing in old collapsing depots.

Three severely rusted, black 1940s-50s Volvo cars rest abandoned in a Swedish pine forest. The vehicles are heavily decayed, blending into the natural surroundings.

Portfolio - Rusting Transport

Old cars are taken for one last drive, and dumped in forests are left by rural roadsides. Some lucky few are left in a barn, protected but still forgotten.

@ObsidianUrbex It just occurred to me, looking at these photos, that your descriptions and documentation of these sites could be an invaluable resource for our future descendants. Their scientists may struggle to explain what, and why, these things are. An archeology of the future.

Perhaps all futurism begins with documenting the past.

Just a pre-coffee thought this morning.
