Dream Car From Guadeloupe

After posting those photos taken just a few days ago below of some dream cars that have been mouldering away in the pitch black night of a stone quarry cave, it seems appropriate to give you the other extreme of the abandoned car spectrum. This beauty has been getting a deep brown tan under the brilliant sun in Guadeloupe for who knows how many years now. There seems to be a problem there with basic public services like towing old wrecks of cars to the junkyard, because the island is dotted with basket cases like this one. This stripped out wreck was by the side of the road near the far north end of the island where there are breath-taking cliff-top views east and west over the ocean, and south looking back along the lines of cliffs that disappear in the distance. Old cars left to slowly disintegrate in public places are a monument to our times... which explains why, like with roadkill, I tend to photograph them wherever I encounter them. But that doesn't mean that I didn't notice the brilliant blue sea here... that same blue visible even from space...
