hit the road, Jack ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Hit the road, Jack !
and don't you come back
no more no more no more no more..."

This must be the place where Jack hit the end of the road... I found his vehicle at the end of road 101 NW of Vancouver. The road follows the Strait of Georgia until it ends at Bliss Landing in Lund, and there is nothing before you besides forests, mountains, the ocean and islands...

quite a capture and I liked your caption too, but this looks like an abandoned vehicle from the depression years, and probably the driver went and drowned himself/ herself into the water.

neat capture..with all the greens

hello Paul,
very funny shot. Title is just adequate to this photograph. Where did you find this relic? Did you take it out of the lake and then took a photo?:) Great shot anyway.
warm regards
Pawel

Hi Paul!
This one is excellent! I have been to lund I am pretty sure. This one is a classic. The amount of moss growing on the old truck is a record in itself. Well framed and composed, and excellent focus. Good work! Cheers,
Steve

Hilarious title and great story of this ancient relic. Crisp detail and good saturation on the photo. Taking the photo at the level of the flat tire definitely speaks to the end of the road. It's a classic backroads shot. Judy

Bonsoir Paul,

Il fallait avoir le coup d'oeil pour penser à le photographier. Bien vu. Le résultat est étonnant et très beau. j'apprécie tout particulièrement l'harmonie des verts y compris sur le camion.
Bon WE,
Roger

Dag Paul,

Het trieste einde van een voertuig dat vermoedelijk vele diensten heeft bewezen.
Blijkbaar heeft Canada weinig problemen met aoto wrakken, hier is het iets anders geworden.
Gelukkihg dat u een er een beeld van nam, en dit toont aan een ieder, zeer scherp gepresenteerd, bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hi Paul,
what an interesting old vehicle on this road. Could be worth a
restauration..?
Fine low Pow and excellent sharpness. I love the patina on this old car and it probably would be even better with a softer light, but that`s only a minor detail. Well done !
Have a nice day
Boa
ps.if you find an old motorcycle too, please contact me :)

Hi Paul,
A very interesting choice of subject material; this abandoned truck covered with moss; it certainly evokes Lund for me. Although it looks like you caught Lund on a sunny day. Your great title drew me to open the photo,
Wishing you health, love & joy (HLJ) pat

Hello Paul:

Hello Friend:

It is a pity to find a truck in these conditions but I believe that the work he has done throughout his life has been extraordinary.

Nice framing and contrast, and the perfect title for the occasion.

Hello,

Ils osrt de l'au-dela ce vieux camion, génaile cette image, la mousse a envahi la carosserie, il est gris vert et pas métallisé, même la roue est vert, super captage.

Bravoe t amitié

Nicou

Abandoned old car. Very interesting capture. Good sharp.

Hello Paul, I remember the song, I liked it, I like this also, it looks as though it reached the end of it's road a long time ago, with all that moss over it I would say a very damp location with little sun shinning on it, but it has made for a very interesting & colourful shot. Nice clear shot with very natural looking colours.
Than you
Regards
Santo

Hallo Paul,

Deze is geweldig! Knap hoe die wagen zo onder het groene mos zit. Ik ben aan die kanten nog niet geweest, dus zeker iets wat ik nog wil doen. Hopelijk kom ik deze wagen ook tegen. Prachtige kleuren, knappe details en goede belichting. Super knap werk!

Groetjes,
Ann

Bonjour Paul,

Voila une photo tres surprenante. L epave est quasiment integrée au paysage maintenant.
Je trouve le cadrage un peu trop serré. C est vrai qu ainsi ca presente bien le vehicule, mais je pense qu un peu de champs sur la droite aurait montré en plus l isolement du vehicule perdu dans la foret.

Yves.

Hello Paul

I live within an hour of this place and now am intrigued about what else may be available on this road. I think its very interesting to say the least what one can find in the remote places of British Columbia logging roads. Very nice photo although morning or evening light could have brought better saturation. But who is going to wait for that time of day for this kind of photo. The truck is long dead. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Paul,
Very nice to discover Jack's car :)
Fine presentation, from a good POV!

Bonjour Paul.
On dirait un animal préhistorique qu'on vient de découvrir à l'instant. La nature a déjà repris ses droits avec la mousse qui se fixe à la tôle comme elle le fait sur le rocher.
Belle composition et bonne lumière !
