Old Car - A black & white photo exploration

If you've been around the Gnat blog for long, you have likely seen an image of an old car I like. We went off trail and checked it out during my River Ramble ride. I wanted to go back and shoot the scene without other cyclists and with evening light. With my broken collar bone and my rest period from cycling, I did not think I'd get down this year to shoot it. Well, with our very mild winter here in MN, I was able to get down there on my own. I shared a couple of images here and in various places on the web, but today I share the the black & white images. All shots taken with my Sony NEX-5Nd with kit zoom lens, shot RAW and converted to B & W in Adobe Lightroom. 

I am printing this last shot for my cube wall @ work.

I sure love exploring on my bike and finding interesting stuff like this. All these shots were shot the same evening at the same spot, but as I post them I see that two of the images above are not actually part of the old car. Anyone know which two? 

Now, I gotta go find something else. I can't wait.

I like the last one too. Nicely done. That's a Studebaker, if I am not mistaken, by the way.

where is that car? I've been riding around the river bottoms quite a bit and never seen it. love the water marks on the trees.

photos 3&4 might be from something else. photo 5 looks like a door to a different car

@GT - Thanks.

@Andrea - Thank you. Checked out your site. Nicely done and some nice artwork. I'll check back often.

@Jerry - It is right near the Sibley House. I guess you'll have to go with me one day.....
