Odd you say that, because my first thought was that it looked like some sort of sand monster clawing it's way up towards its hapless prey! Very well done, and a break from the norm in a very good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roginoz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 There's got to be a backstory, surely......... Renek, did you park the car on the sand and the tide came in........? Desert bashing over quicksand ? Caught in a sandstorm ? Don't keep us in suspense....... Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goggsy Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Looks like my wife’s been out driving again. Seriously though, great job. Looks like something from that Namibian mining town that was abandoned in the 40s, Kolmansop I think it was called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roginoz Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Thanks, Renek, didn't notice the cross. Most imaginative ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I hadn't noticed that either but it is in keeping with the pathos the rest of the dio conveys, maybe a French Foreign Legion Patrol happening upon this sad wreck, perhaps years after the event, the sad desiccated remains of the driver alongside his hopelessly stuck vehicle, a perfunctory service & a quickly constructed cross, his only memorial. I applaud the story telling your dio shares with us, each to interpret in our own way. Bravo. Steve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
