Down the street

 Looking down Chartres Street toward the St. Louis Cathedral.

The more common view of the cathedral and Jackson Square.

Life is too short

If you are a regular visitor you many have noticed that my recent posts are not from my home territory. I recently river cruised the lower Mississippi and have quite a few pictures to share. Being in unfamiliar surroundings provides many opportunities for exploring and photographing. 

This photo is from Memphis, the former home of Elvis Presley. In the Graceland domain there are multiple tributes to the King, including a museum showcasing Elvis's collection of cars, as well as two aeroplanes. I am not a huge Elvis fan but found the many exhibits fun.  

Econoline Pickup

Pretty nice example of a '60's vehicle that still looks good, although it appears it has been partially restored and painted. But for being 60 years old it does not look bad.

More cars

Another composite photo collection from today's visit to the  Brumos Car Collection located here in Jacksonville. It is an impressive collection of wonderful cars though history focusing mostly on racing and leading up to the Porsche sport racing cars that made Brumos famous. The facility itself is also very impressive... every feature seems first class just like the Porsches. Well worth the visit if you are in the area.

Actually there is one tractor in the image... can you tell which one?

As usual, click the image for a larger view.

Auto show 2020

Our community does a big car show each year and it seems people come from all around to enter and attend. I did a matrix photo similar to this a few years ago and decided to do it again. It becomes a design task as well as a photo task.

Car vending machine

Yes, there really are car vending machines. The only problem is... who carries around that many quarters?

It's a state, not a country

I am just back from Santa Fe New Mexico, quite a nice place to visit. I am amused that many people are confused by New Mexico, thinking it is not part of the USA, but the American flag in this photo proves otherwise.

Also I did not have to deal with customs, immigration or a silly wall.

Morning commute

I try to keep my camera ready in the car... you never know when something interesting might show up outside the windshield.

Underpass

Seeing red

Ken, once again I am stealing one of your ideas.

Every night at the historic plaza in Santa Fe there was something going on. Always a band playing, lights in the trees, lots of people, and on this night about a hundred classic cars parked around the perimeter. You have to admire the work and dedication these collector/restorers do and the care they provide their hobby.

No turn on red

Something about the light caught my eye.

That and the fact that I have not posted an image for quite awhile.

Do not enter

High piles of snow and 15º F... even with a bit of late day sun.

Balloons sell cars

Everyone knows that nothing sells cars quite as well as colorful balloons. The more the better. 

Who stole the house?

Gee, I thought I had trouble.

The bridge behind

The canal bridge behind the Hess gas station provides an unusual juncture of shapes.
