Car as ghost

This car may be a Morris Minor. Not sure. I took the photo in Fenton, the most 'unimproved' of Stoke-on-Trent's six towns. Strolling through Fenton is like walking through the city's industrial past, as nothing much seems to have changed since the 1950s.
The car surely must date from that era, which is why seeing it there was a bit ghostly.

Incidentally, the composition of this photograph appeals to me greatly.
A quick bit of instant word-association made me come up with the word 'revelation' as a title, but I don't really know why.

  1. Interesting picture, has a faded and jaded sort of a feel to it. Wonder if the car is simply parked or rusting quietly away where it stands?
