CB&W: Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles

I haven’t written for a long time but I happened to stumble across Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge for this week and the theme grabbed my attention. So, here’s an entry or three for Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles. Taken in 2015 in a little town call Solitaire in the middle of nowhere in Namibia. There are a plethora of abandoned old vehicles in Solitaire … some of which have quiver trees sprouting up through their rusty old skeletons. It’s a unique little stop over in the middle of the vast landscape of Namibia, and it has the best bakery for those looking for a tasty lunch break!

  6. Long time no see. Or read. Or indulge in your photography I wouldn’t expect to see these scenes in the African desert! We’ve seen similar abandoned old cars in the US desert, but none with trees growing through them. 🙂 Great shots, Kim!

    1. Haha! It’s been a long time indeed, Liesbet. I’ve decided to stop putting pressure on myself to feel like I should be writing and just post when I feel like it. I can imagine similar scenes in the US deserts … Haven’t seen them myself, but I haven’t been back to the US since I was a kid. 🙂

    1. Hi Anne! No bad experiences at all. I love SA and we had an incredible fortnight there in August. I will try to write up some posts about the reserves we stayed in and upload some photographs 😀 Hope you’ve been well?
