That curved intersection with Penny's Diner to the right has been very productive for you, Mike!

Doug, Larry, thank you for the kind comments.

Doug, the curve by Penny’s Dinner is perfect (IMO) for photographing moving vehicles (cars, motorcycles, bicycles). Near the end of the curve is a spot where I can sit on the curb and shoot away somewhat unseen and from a nice low-to-the-ground perspective.

Although, people who do notice me sitting there with my camera look at me like I’m some kind of a nut job. Maybe I am!

All the best,
Mike

Gulf Oil. Used from 67-69, IIRC. This of course is a modern incarnation.

It's a Ford!

An immaculate VW Beetle on the high moors by Princetown. The roads were filthy, the salt ubiquitous as it had been freezing for four days and my car covered. Yet not a drop of dirt or salt, but nowhere it could have been cleaned!

Really nice photo, Charles. Even the license plate spotless! 😱

Not as immaculate as Charles' example, but a very well kept Type 2, just down the street from my house.

It's a big mystery!

I was reflecting yesterday on how you see a lot of classic VW campers but I must have seen the grand total of two Beetles on the road in about a decade.

There's a lot of VW Beetle rallies on all summer and my guess is that a camper would be the most practical for a weekend at one.
