Auto graveyard in Belgium

A small junkyard in a forest somewhere in Southern Belgium. Seems to be left untouched for the last 30 years, the oldest cars might date to the 1950s.

I'm not so sure that those regulations are so stupid: Old cars contains an awful lot of toxic substances and let's not forget: Asbestos. Some of the toxins are broken down by the environment, but some are accumulating toxins such as heavy metals that permeates through the food chain and thus will get back to us. Lead is such a substance

Sadly all cars are removed and crushed due to stupid envisonmental regulations :(

I love auto graveyards. I saw one where a tree grew around an old buick and lifted it 20 meters in the air. Imagine these cars being born in factories surrounded by deafening sheet metal stamps, grinders and welders. Then far away trees silently pushing thier way through the soil toward the sky. They were both created about the same time but the cars slowly disappear while the trees grow taller. And both are composed of matter that existed at the dawn of time. So fascinating.

Nostalgic, atmospheric and evocative of a bygone age..........food 4 thought.

@feelfreake

don't argue man!

Be glad there are people willing to come here to just photograph or film these cars.

They don't steal and don't break anything,

so just relax!

Youre right! And imagine that last year everything was much better. Been there every year for the las 3 years. Since some time some people are having there way at night with the cars. and that did no good to them. Owner and police are activly hunting after them en trespassers now! Hope to go back this sommer on invite by the owner to go and make more footage af the slowly aging beauties.
