Bright-eyed no more
A hidden auto cemetery in Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment is a palette of artistic colour when seen through the lens of photographer extraordinaire, Danny Bailey.

Rust never rests in peace
In this enchanted place, tattered cloth and leather dance in the wind as they succumb to nature's power and rust never rests in peace, only in pieces.
▲
The art of time and circumstance
Glass crackles and breaks with time. It may be junk to most but it's pure art when seen from the right perspective.
▲
Power all spent
Where once there was power, now there is art, at the hand of Mother Nature.
▲
Closed doors
Once openings to freedom, these doors now lead to nowhere.
▲
Conquered by rust
All but the knobs are overcome.
▲
Stripped of her jewelry
Once-proud Plymouth is now naked and bare.
▲
How the mighty have fallen
King of the road no more.
▲
A tree through the heart
No respect for human conveyances from Mother Mature.
▲
Silver Streak no more
A Pontiac en route to oblivion.
▲
Stacked deck
Status counts for nothing anymore.
▲
Tear-stained trunk
Just a shadow of what used to be.
▲
The memory persists
Signature in rust.
▲
The music died
The stories it may once have told!
▲
No more deliveries
It's at the end of its run.
▲
Nowhere left to steer
After the final turn.
▲
School days are over
No more pencils, no more books!
▲
An ignominious end
An emblem of future past.
▲
A graveyard of lost cars
Tales of days gone by permeate the rotting automobile corpses in fields of oil-soaked soil. And yet, therein, is art!
