Description

This is obviously another local, stolen car smashed into a tree on the side of one of the back roads near our town. Very sad, eh!!! Lens aperture F/2.8, shutter speed 1/30sec, focal length 6mm, ISO 140, taken around 6pm today.

Sad is right!! And its happening everywhere!! Whatever happened to respecting other's property? Seems to be a thing of the past! That said, I love the reflections in this shot Chris! Appears you've had just a bit of rain!!
BTW, Placencia was most definitely my favorite place in Belize! You would love it!! #7503272

Thank you all for your great comments. Our town has been going through a very bad time over the past 6 months, lots of vehicles taken & either smashed or burnt out. John, I really agree with your remark!!! #7504812

Unfortunately you see the same this side of the world too Chris, and often they are burnt out to hide any evidence. Well captured:) #7506656
