A month ago a good friend called me up to inform me that the Route 66 Car Show was currently taking place down the street from his home. Of course, I rearranged my plans and was there within an hour. I am a huge race and hotrod fan, having had a few of my own hotrods during my life, one of which he had built from the ground up. It was a great celebration of not just old cars but of that era, people walking around dressed like James Dean and I saw quite a few Marilyn Monroe's as well.
Jay, That's my buddy, is a hard core race car driver and I used to pit crew for him at the Irwindale race track on thursday nights for "Bracket Night" We have a lot of history (40years). At 14 and 15 we used to hotwire his dads 500+ HP Big block mustang and tear up the streets and neither one of us having a driver license. We used to drive a 350HP Chevy Camera to junior high school and even parked in the principle's parking spot a couple of times...... :))))))
This is the first composition that I am kinda proud of, because I had crouched there with my camera on the ground waiting for something interesting to come into the reflection. As I sat there listening to the two guys next to me haggling over the price of a bottle of water, and the people behind me admiring the 100% chrome hydraulics system in the bed of this beautiful truck and the old stone church in the background. I had plenty of interesting elements but I thought with all these cool outfits here somebody interesting is bound to walk by. So I waited and watched and waited and watched, when out of the corner of my eye this kid comes strutting down the sidewalk like a mini gangbanger or something, with his red hat turned to the side in defiance, walking the opposite direction right past the sign that says "Kids Zone" :) All of that is there in the reflection.
Now I was praying that one of the Marilyn's or James Deans would come by, but the kid worked out cool too and I like the floating head in the reflection. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everyone :)

Parked up in Nottingham city centre … and, no, I didn’t put the leaf there, it was just a happy co-incidence and is what drew my attention.

Moshiem was settled in the 1850s and had a population of about 50 people in 1896. Today's population is about the same. Moshiem,Texas. 8.14.2018.
One of my favorite styles of classic vehicle 'restoration' is the "rust bucket" style with just enough rust, scuffs, blemishes, and flaws to make the car (or truck) more interesting. In this case, the addition of the name on the door (Rust Bucket Antiques) just makes it that much better! And, I would suspect even though I couldn't see under the hood, that the mechanical side of this truck is as solid as it was the day it rolled off the assembly line in 1956 (and probably even better in the horsepower department)! Just a great old Chevy pick-up done right!!

Gus Klenke Garage near Ellison Bay in Door County
At the corner of Highway 42 and Garrett Bay Road stands the old Klenke Standard Station. Next to it, Gus Klenke's old pickup truck is still parked.
Gus came to Ellison bay in 1918. He worked for Ed Evanson making cheese in the building where the garage is today. In the late ‘20s, it became a garage and sold Standard Oil products. Gus Klenke was legendary for helping many a fisherman or farmer repair a broken machine, often by improvising a part from scrap metal.
