Hidden Gem

Just out out of Piacenza in northern Italy we camped in an abandoned farmhouse for the night. We did some exploring, pulling back the door to the barn we came across an old Opel car. It had seen better days, the exterior was weathered and become home to a community of pigeons. The interior and engine bay however were in immaculate condition. From what we could figure out from the registration papers the car had been sitting in this barn for about 20 years. I think with a little elbow grease the car would have started.

    Nice pic Matty. Love the bare lightbulb and the light shining in seems to be calling it to re-live it’s past.
    An atmosphere well captured.
