I'm kind of with Ken here . . . my first thought was that the car drove up and fell into this hole! Terrific leading lines to frame and draw attention to the scene - as well a great title designed to intrigue us and stir our imaginations.
this makes me smile especially with your comment .. so well seen and photographed .. it tells a story .. and one that anyone viewing this image could make up for themselves .. so many possibilities ... :)
Looks to me as if the car just missed you as it pulled away! Yes, I know its a snow scene but it has made me go get another layer on as it made me feel cold.
