Nilesh Choithramani, The Last Stop (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024)

This old rust bucket of a bus has been a popular subject of photography and stood the test of time and I wanted to capture this bus standing amidst that harsh , rugged terrain of Sea Lake against the backdrop of that dark and pristine Bortle 1 sky with radiating night glow and the Milkway arcing above. I feel like there's a story to tell here. A story of finality and abandonment. A story of the bus that has reached its ultimate destination; a poignant reminder that everything comes to and end, and sometimes that end is in a desolate and isolated place.
