ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS 30 – RISE OF THE MACHINES

Early morning on the main road in from the south. To me, this image has a distinctly hard, cold, ruthless feel, to me there is almost a soulless malevolence here. Thinking back to the Terminator films, is this The Rise Of The Machines???
The Looking at Cars series: looking back through the nine years of the FATman Photos archives (and some new images too), I’m posting pictures of cars in various contexts and styles. Earlier Looking at Cars posts are here: 1 (with context); 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 . Each post will open in a separate window.
Click onto the “early morning” tag (below) to see more images from the early hours of the day.

Technique: X-T2 with 55-200 Fujinon lens at 300mm (equiv); 6400 ISO; Lightroom, using the Astia/Soft film simulation; Temple Gate, Bristol; 2 Feb 2018.

I think you’re right about the malevolence there… and I think there’s a strong argument for humanity’s desire for this motorised ‘personal transport’ being at the root of what has bought the world to its current possible ruin. Most of our world looks the way it does, and works the way it does, because of the need to support it.

Well, I’m an oldie now, nearly 71, and there’s an inevitable tendency to see the past through rose-tinted glasses, but I do wonder about today’s world, and especially so the affluent West and Far East, as contrasted with the Third World, where I lived for some years. We may very well be into unsustainable lifestyles. Thank for your comment. 🙂

It’s the headlights. They look like they’re glaring and squinting and ready to strike! Cool shot, bud.
