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.
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
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.
