Trashed Cars of the NT Photoblog
Beautiful Burnt out Cars in the Northern Territory
Everyone has a weird thing that they secretly like… For me it’s abandoned and graffitied things. I find a simple beauty in burnt out cars; the way the windows shatter into tiny squares, and how the seats become majestically disfigured. Something that someone once loved and used every day. Something someone protected and put money into. Just left on the side of the road with no more worth to a soul. It’s a stark reminder of the circle of life. I feel similarly about abandoned buildings.
The trashed cars I found in Northern Territory were especially appealing. Bright red dirt juxtaposed with the steel of the cars was something I found captivating. So, for now, I will leave you with some photographs of the majestic beasts I came across during my trip around the NT.
Photography by Crystal Egan, taken on the roads from Darwin to Alice Springs and Ayres Rock.

Great photographs! We are always fascinated with this kind of things/places, so this one is really an amazing one.
Cool post! Never thought about abandoned cars in that way, but these are beautiful photos!
Awesome post, there’s always something beautiful in abandoned things! You’ve captured the beauty in decay really well in these pictures!

I really have to ask Crystal. …. were these old cars/trucks which you drove and burnt them out and left them to rust for a travel blog to write. But seriously, I do love this post. Its different, unique and has a story behind it. Keep up with the good work 🙂
I walked around Detroit in 2014 .took a bunch of photos of the many abandoned buildings. The desolate parts of the city held a strange attraction to me.
We’ve seen similar photos here in Northern Alberta, but unfortunately, due to the destruction of raging and devastating wildfires. I am with you, it is unique and haunting pieces with unknown history, very much like unexpected art. Fantastic photos.
Wow! Some of those old farm equipment pieces are quite unique. You can see similar things in the western states of the US.
