Photographer Jassen Todorov has captured the impressive images which show thousands of vehicles lined up in the auto boneyard, next to a fleet of old planes.

Todorov, from San Francisco, in the United States, said: “It is both very impressive and really shocking to see thousands of fairly new cars in the California desert, mostly VWs and Audi’s and all of them are models 2009 to 2015.

“It’s hard to imagine the costs; energy to extract and process ore, to manufacture, to transport from manufacture to consumer.

“As a photographer and musician, I am especially interested in the patterns and colours created here. It is a totally surreal scene to witness from above.”

It’s not the only abandoned plane and car graveyard in the US, with an incredible scene also found in Arizona, reportedly the largest “aircraft boneyard” in the world.

The model has been followed in Australia, with 100 hectares of land now set aside next to Alice Springs airport.

Central Australia has the perfect dry climate to house old planes, and since the ‘boneyard’ was established several years ago, a number of planes have been left there.

But not all plane graveyards are planned. Unlike the dry climate and the planed ‘boneyard’ of deserts in the US and Australia, an abandoned plane lies on a private property in Bali, with nobody really sure of why it’s there.

But it has become an Instagram sensation, with tourists from all over the world keen to get a snap of the odd sight.
