British Cars

Rainy rainy day today but gorgeous cars. I went to the British Car Rally at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA. Actually, seeing that they are British, it is rather appropriate that it was raining. Even with the weather, there were lots of cars, and people were in high spirits. I was actually surprised with the turn-out and the lack of reaction to the weather. Going by the stereotype of people babying their antique cars (keeping them safe in garages and only letting them out on warm, clear days in the summer - heaven forbid if they get wet or dirty!), I assumed they would be adverse to taking them out when there was the slimmest chance of rain. Not these people - everyone was hanging, talking car, and checking out all the new arrivals.

A Barn At Last!

This past weekend I went on a photo safari into the White Mountains with a friend - no real plan, we just wanted to shoot barns. We meandered up Route 93, stopping along rivers to take pretty, scenic photos or anything else that caught our fancy. We eventually wound up at Mount Washington - no barns, but a really cool cog railway. And while driving up to the parking lot I happened to comment, "Hey! Are those the piles of coal? How cool!" Apparently Mt. Washington has nothing on stockpiles of coal for the cog railway.

On the way back we stopped at waterfalls and old covered bridges. Eventually we found our barn. I don't even know if I could tell you where it was - in a field by some mountains and trees. The best part - old cars! So while we spent the day surrounded by scenic mountains and streams, my current favorite shot is an old Chevrolet in a random barn.
