A place where time stopped

Close to Årjäng in the deep Swedish forests you will find an abandoned classic car cemetery. Nature is taking over the corroded carouses and trees are growing in and out of what once were leather seats and windows. The mix between the sharp metal pieces and the soft shapes of the branches is extremely fascinating.

I can´t stop thinking that this cemetery is so much beauty gone to waste. What wouldn't these cars have been worth today if someone had repaired and cared for them?  

This cemetery must be one of the first signs of the cash-and-trash mentality people have nowadays. It is so damn hard but we should try to stop throwing things away. In Germany, one of the most popular terms at the moment is "up cycling" - which means taking something old and recycling it into something even greater than it was before. We can learn from them :)
