Lost Tank

My first infrared picture this year. xD It's a M41 Walker Bulldog. Taken with my modified Nikon D80 at Brander Wald, Germany.
Feel free to comment.


Rick wrote a short journal of our photo-tour there:

NATURE AND LOST TANKS
Last weekend I traveled with Jan, "jant-photo" to a military site with abandoned tanks, next to Aachen, Germany.
The area, called "Brander Wald" is publicly accessible in between field exercises with tanks and soldiers.
Once exercises take place, a red flag is hoisted and you should not enter the forest anymore.
This activity is also the reason you're able to visit 4-5 abandoned tanks here, that are used as props in the maneuvers.

The tanks are completely stripped in the inside and mostly from the cold war area as Jan guessed from the model types. I'm generally not fascinated by war, although being interested in how it shaped our lives and culture historically.
If they had been "used" or not, the tanks were definitively killing machines and I felt a bit of an unease visiting them now.
