Seems that this place has been abandoned long time ago. Actually it is used as a storage space for a construction company, but the right framing, 'selective' HDR and some Photoshop work augmented the loneliness :-)

This abandoned bus I spotted in a small village in Eastern Austria. No interior, the engine is missing - and still a beauty... It has part glass roof also in the front area! That bus also looks extremely stylish from behind. Couldn't identify the model o…

After many years in that forest the tires submersed in the ground and only parts of the once shiny blue color show it may have looked in the showroom.

Summer in Southern Austria. The letters ´GTB´ on the loco stand for Gurktalbahn.

Resting in a forest for more than 40 years... The chrome is still shiny

Actually - not! Just a Photoshop dream! The proof is here. Between these images still stands a $250´000 restoration....

Out of service coaches in the summer sun in Eastern Austria.

Bus 5918 is waiting for its turn in a bus depot in Moscow.

This is a shot of the brand new Moscow automobile museum. I don't know what the purpose of the London bus is, though...

On a cold winter day I was all alone with this retired steam loco. HDR, Photomatix and a bit of depression made this shot possible...

Unusual environment in a quarry creates a desert like feeling...

On a chilly winter night a steam engine is waiting for better times... It was built in Austria 1899 and retired in the mid 60's.

Pray for me that I may keep Faithful to you in my time Beloved it is mourn Deeper yellow than the corn Lovers work as children play Beloved it is mourn One fine day I walked to town No love like yours be found Idle days, idle days... [Jayhawks]

Research of this vehicle on the Internet revealed that it is a M26 tank transporter. I shot this photo in 1984. This interesting truck was left behind in Austria after US troups left in 1955 and was parked in the garden of a collector at that time.
