If you drive south through the United States, through Florida, through the Florida Keys, to the end of the road at mile/marker zero... you end up at this house! Then, 90-miles of open-ocean,

and then Cuba! It's quite an amazing island! Come and visit!

   Former abandoned office.

   Decommissioned powerplant.

Despite the presence of numerous cars parked along the streets, walking through the old city of Quebec emphasized the amazing history of the place. Hearing hoof-beats behind me and seeing a horse and carriage pass, took me back in time.

Actually it's not 1956. It's not even yesterday. In fact about an hour ago :)

The classic cars were rolling in to a rainy Nottingham for the Vintage Festival taking place in the city. I have no idea what kind of classic car this is, sorry motor enthusiasts I just went for the usual candid style of photography.

An old school monochrome process with some added grain. Don't think I've quite mastered a film noir look but happy with the result. I had few aperture versions but like the mixed focal effect on this one.
