Photo of the Week

This is not my car.

Our photo of the week was snapped two weekends ago in my point of origin, West Winfield, New York -- often affectionately referred to as Wet Windshield by long-time residents. It's an intensely car- and truck-oriented place, being rural. I was passing by on foot (I'm a contrarian!) and observed this wreck sitting in an empty parking lot, as if on display. It was tattooed with a few hard-to-read corporate logos, which made me suspect that it was once some kind of stock car or, more likely, given its condition, a participant in a demolition derby. There was something fantastically melancholy and granular about this vehicular corpse -- thus the photo. (Click here for a closer view.)
