A visit to the junkyard we like used to be an interesting one, but I realized I am beginning to see the same photographs; some textures, some color, some shapes, marquees, and so on. I took a bunch of photographs because it is hard not to with so many things around. In them, I tried to see things I did not pay attention to before, but I am sure there are some repetitions. The Bad Bow Tie truck is an example. I have photographed it probably at every visit partly because of my affinity to bow ties and partly the incongruity of bow ties with trucks. This time though, its headlight cavities were mostly red, giving it a zombie appearance. I also photographed that Cubist Volkswagen before, but I thought the position of the various parts were rearranged, so I decided to include that.
We also chatted with Roland, the manager of the yard who knows his business. I asked him how many cars were in the yard and he said there were about 1,800 cars on the average at any given time. For some reason it gives the impression that there are much more than that, but Roland knows that yard!
These are the ones that bubbled to the top to share this time.

Interesting and colourful.
I would have taken the bad bowtie also directly from the front. I am sure you have such a capture.
The office door is fantastic, a nice side-product of the day.
Thanks for sharing, Cemal.
Regards from a rainy and cold(er) Antalya.

Haluk, as I said, that place is interesting all the time but with the danger of repetition. Bad Bow Tie is a truck I photographed many times some head on. This attitude added to the zombie look! I saw the office door at the last minute as we were getting ready to leave, it was a must take photo.
We are gearing up to travel on November 2 to Istanbul.
Take care,
Cemal
