Turner's Auto Wrecking III and IV

A few months after my initial visit to Turner's Auto Wrecking on the outskirts of Fresno, I ventured back to the vast auto graveyard to hunt down more vintage artifacts.
My goal was to photograph as many classic hood ornaments as possible. A couple of hours into walking down only two aisles of the multi-acred grounds, I realized that a majority of the classic cars must have had their ornaments removed long ago.
I spent around four hours meandering around, listening to the ghosts who died in many of the cars over the years. A few cars from the 30s and 40s are riddled with bullet holes. Makes you wonder.
These two photo montage posters are a result of my last visit to the facility. They are both offered on my Esty store.
