Art is where you find it

What is just junk to most becomes pure art when seen through the lens of gifted photographer Danny Bailey. ▲

A graveyard of lost cars

Tales of days gone by permeate the hues of patina of every rotting corpse that lies above ground in a hidden auto cemetery on The Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada. Hundreds upon hundreds of decaying bodies are plotted in fields void of asphalt but generous in oil soaked soil. ▲

Rust never rests

Tattered interior cloth and leather dance in the wind. Glass crackles and breaks with time. Previously enjoyed vehicles now lay dormant becoming one with Mother Nature. This is truly a place where rust never rests in peace, only in pieces. Enjoy the photos that follow and give a thought to the stories each of these rotting carcasses could tell and the many souls they’ve served. ▲
