Cars are deserted and left to rust in every country all over the world. Most people wouldn't see them as very photogenic, but take a look below and see what a little ingenuity with lighting can achieve! These vehicles are from all over the USA, you can see some more abandoned vehicle pictures here.

Automated Car Parks

automatic car park

Automatic multi-storey car parks provide lower building cost per parking slot than conventional car parks as they require less building volume and less ground area.
However, the disadvantage is the cost of the mechanical equipment within the building that is needed to transport cars to the parking spaces. Other costs are usually lower too, for example there is no need for an energy intensive ventilating system, since cars are not driven inside and human cashiers or security personnel may not be needed.
automatic car parking - leaving you car on a platform

Automated car parks work as follows. The driver leaves the car in an entrance module. It is then transported to a parking slot by a robot trolley. For the driver, the process of parking is reduced to leaving the car inside an entrance module and walking away.

One disadvantage may be at peak periods when a wait may be involved before entering or leaving. The wait is caused by loading passengers and luggage at the entrance and exit locations of the car park rather than at the parked stall. This loading blocks the entrance or exit from being available to others. However the retrieval of vehicles can be faster in an automatic car park depending on the layout and number of exits.

We've all been stuck in awful gridlock traffic jams before, but was it ever as terrible as this one in Italy? Traffic is blocked just as bad going both ways!

What's in the Barn?

October 17th 2007 09:38
A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years. The owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.
