Paint on a Car Hood Size:24"x36" Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe

Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe is a much visited and photographed location

While visiting San Diego a few years ago

The main challenge is finding where they are located as it changes each year

I headed out to the plains for some images just after sunset near the airport

I made a pre-sunrise trip to La Jolla Cove

This is once again a car but by looking at a smaller piece, like the transition of two panels of the car brings a natural or permanent line into the frame. However the paint is still changing with the external elements it is exposed to at the salvage yard. Whether it is rain, snow, sun or the human touch the paint size and color changes.
