Enchanted Trucks (on the go)

The very last rides from the Enchanted Forest, a former kiddie amusement park in Hope Valley, are loaded onto a truck for an unknown destination.

    Oh.. The cars look sad... Can really sense the nostalgia of the moment. They should have given the cars to you.

    I didn't take sadness from this image until I read the comments above, my first response was hopeful and excited about these "cars" and their future of creating fun for many kids and adults alike. Also Love the color and selctive focuse on this image. Nice image!
