So, I drive by this scene rather frequently. Today, the stars aligned and when I went to snap the photo, another, unsuspecting car (the license plate, I blurred on purpose) came rolling to a stop. It was a great oops for me as it certainly looks as if the unscathed car is either waiting for its own upcoming death or mourning the passing of those in the ever growing pile. This site is actually labeled a "recycling site." Who knew squashed cars were recyclables? This is also one of the locations that the trash pickers take all their salvaged goods from dumpsters and trash cans to get cash. And, with St. Paddy's Day weekend in town, 'twas a lucrative venture for the dumpster divers. I'm telling you people, I risked life and limb, okay...maybe just life...to shoot this one. There were some, uh, "odd folk" hanging around this area.
