Photographic Tale of the Week - what they do to old cars in goldfield

"what they do to old cars in goldfield" by Bill's Explorations
With a new blog on the way and work in high gear during the summer months, the Essex Masque  is starting to feel a bit rusty. However, beyond a good story and an amazing composition, I am always looking for something that lends itself to the feel of the blog for the Photographic Tale of the Week. It is only suiting than that "what they do to old cars in goldfield" caught my eye. As with many of the featured storytellers and photographers who contribute to Pictures with a Story, Bill's pictures of the bones of American history, and many other beautiful shots, could all have been featured any other week.
This is what Bill has to say about this picture:

The famed International Car Forest of the Last Church outside Goldfield, NV. This unusual place is not easy to get to - hilly and deeply rutted gravel road - but well worth the trip.
Goldfield is a mining town that was once the largest city in Nevada. Now it is a decaying shadow of itself, full of decaying buildings, rust, and memories of its former self. In other words, it's pretty great....
Have a great sliders sunday all, and have a great 4th of July!
