Thank you, Pan, I hope that some of the American friends here can tell what brand of car this is.

Looks like a Chevrolette to me but others will probably correct me on that.

Hi guys -- That is a 1959 Buick. And I'm wondering what it's doing in that odd location...

Thanks Doug, maybe the car is no longer in use and the owner has no other place to store it.

Eirk: there is a cleanliness to your compositions that is always so breathtaking. And I find that sort of apparent simplicity so difficult to achieve -- you make it look effortless. It is like a modernist Swedish landscape, or a haiku, or something -- if I can mangle a few metaphors, Bravo!

 

[Erik van Straten]

Thank you, Benjamin, that's a great compliment!

Erik.
