I came across this article and wanted to share it with all of you. These images are hauntingly beautiful (my favorite combination) and the history behind them makes it even more so. The original post states:


"Around the town of Chatillon, Belgium, the end of World War II left a few creepy hallmarks of the armistice in the form of long lines of cars left abandoned by the hundreds in the woods. While one theory goes that the cars belonged to Americans who left them in a hurry on their way off the continent, no one really knows for sure. While there were initially four giant pileups with over 500 cars, only one remains rotting in the woods, a monument to the inexorable creep of entropy."


The original post can be found here. More of the artist's work can be found on flickr here.
