This is beautiful under-stated photography

The eye is first drawn to a "classic" old car that will bring back distant memories for some of us, then you appreciate the perfect use of depth of field and an excellent mono-conversion with a slight vignette - Excellent

A reminder of past sources of pollution! Trabies belong in museums!

I never thought I'd see the day when a Trabant would be given legendary status!!!

There is something about this piccy that makes me smile, congrats on POTW.

Thanks for all the comments - I never expected to any, but to also get PotW means quite something - I've no idea who picks or what criteria is used, but I'm humbled.

Thank you all.
