	LANDAU BAR 2006 Mid 60s Cadillac hearse at an unnamed high-desert junkyard near Lake Los Angeles, CA. Night, 2 minute exposure, full moon, red and blue-gelled strobe-flash Canon 20D. It has come to my attention from several reliable sources that the owner of this junkyard rents his collection of highly unusual and rare cars to the movie industry. I've been told he will "shoot trespassers (like me) on sight." Be careful out there kids. See more images from the Unknown Junkyard.
