Rural Ontario is full of abandoned wreckage. We humans don’t seem to know what to do with our discarded machines. So Nature steps in and grows all over them.

2025:

An old airplane trapped by trees in a meadow near Sandbanks Provincial Park
Usually, it’s old cars and tractors. This one’s a first: an airplane!
How long has it sat, wings clipped? What did it once do? Why was it abandoned?
What’s the untold story?

2026:

An abandoned Sunbeam on the shores of Talbot Lake, ON.
(Strangely, they were produced by Sunbeam-Talbot Ltd. – a British motor company.)
Did the owner who abandoned it know that somehow?
Another untold story.
