The Thing by maggiemae

The Thing

Poor Sadie (our Mercedes) had really deep stone damage on the windscreen so she had to be refaced (better than defaced). Meant an early trip to the Garage for a new windscreen that had had to be ordered! Chucked John out before he even opened his eyes but he managed! We picked her up later in the day looking glamorous once more!

Three good things:
1. This creature was lurking in a car yard and lurching towards a service station with unmentionable intentions! He probably would have devoured all there including the carwash! Don’t mess with a lurking lurcher!
2. Getting adventurous with a menu for our 4 family vegetarians!
3. Lots of great comments and some orders for my books!
Glad to hear about the comments and orders. That must be a wonderful feeling!

@sdutoit I'm giving away some of the books to close family but they have to say they want one first!

For just a moment (perhaps half a moment) I thought this was the windscreen. And I thought, "How can they see?"

Every moment is a marketing opportunity. And an opportunity for great photography. I like how you have focused on the 'guts' of the thing.

Its amazing what they can make from scraps of metal, the lurking lunch being one of them! Glad the books are selling

Lovely shot Maggie.
December 8th, 2015  
It certainly makes a great picture.

that looks fascinating! great lighting
December 8th, 2015  
it looks kind of rusty, isn't it?

What the heck maggiemae.......this is a beast extraordinaire lurking! His jaws look very used to munching all in his wake! We can see all his insides, there don't seem to be any human pieces in his tummy. Stone damage.....how fast have you been going? I suppose it's your metal rides & all the traveling you have been doing.
December 8th, 2015  
Wow what a strange beast!! So annoying when you get damage to your car through no fault of your own!! Just had to get a dent and scratch on my wing done after my friend let her car door get caught by a gust of wind and "clonk" it hit my car!!

Isn't it amazing what some clever people can create from a pile of scrap metal. Wish I had that vision! Good shot.
December 8th, 2015  
Very cool, I must have one!
December 8th, 2015  
@happypat This damage was done on the main road, Pat! A huge truck passed us and a stone flicked up! John is pretending he has a price on his head and that it was a bullet!

@kelly2 I haven't got any money for books yet, Irene! Hope I do though!

December 8th, 2015

December 9th, 2015

@ruiigreja Thanks for that, Rui! We would probably say, wow!
December 9th, 2015  
Great cool creation. Congrats on getting orders for your book. That is exciting!
December 9th, 2015  
@beachdog Well initially they said they wanted a book Barb - but now I have published the fact, - nothing back! I will be patient!
December 9th, 2015  
What an interesting creation. The Thing is terrifying.
December 9th, 2015  
@yaorenliu Depends on your imagination, Yao! Those jaws look awfully strong!
December 9th, 2015  
That is a really cool sculpture. Using all those thrown-away car parts to create this must have been quite a job. Glad to hear your book is doing well.
December 9th, 2015  
This is quite the creature!
December 9th, 2015  
love these creatures.
December 9th, 2015  
Great find and shot, I do like metal sculptures. Great tones.

Glad Sadie has regained her good looks.
December 9th, 2015  
Great car eating monster, glad you got the chip sorted, now for the fish to go with it.
December 9th, 2015  
@ladymagpie haha, Heather! "Have a chip, little boy"!
December 9th, 2015  
Pleased you got Sadie looking gorgeous again! And that this monster didn't devour her!
December 9th, 2015  
Intricate piece of metallic artwork. Well spotted and captured.
December 10th, 2015  
amazing processing
December 10th, 2015  
Looks like this fellow is geared up for trouble! Cool sculpture though. Glad Sadie is back on track. She held up pretty well after that wonderful trip you just finished.
December 11th, 2015  
Looks very menacing, and I like your processing. I'm so glad Sadie has been restored.

December 16th, 2015  
@creativeaddict I've only published one, Laur - transcriptions of my Mothers 1929 diary that I have had! Lurched, lunched, lunged - they are all good!
December 16th, 2015  
I meant to say it differently but that's how it came out. Glad u career fussy about ur lurches.
December 16th, 2015  
Rather...Aren't fussy...
