Contrasts

I liked the incredible contrast of a strong tank and a handicapped parking lot right next to it.
The tank is standing in a parking lot in Attica Indiana. I have seen it twice and dont know who the owner is. There is no museum and no army base which leads me to the assumption that it is privately owned.

    And well spotted that the muzzle mouth would be a great frame for the handicap notice. Otherwise, it would be recessive in the background, and not be able to play as large a role as it does here.

    As we say in baseball, "good eye!". (Which means "hello" in Australian.)

    Not sure if the tanks is also parked in a " handi-capped " parking, bay, but if it is? .............. i don't think anyones going be arguing with the owner about his right to stay or not !
    Great capture !

    Creative of you to put this together.
    Imagine driving to work in that, I would not anticipate problems like getting cut off. It would give a different meaning to the term, "fender bender."
