I recently visited an old car graveyard that I hadn't been to in years. It is such an amazing place to explore and see these time capsules. Many of them still have people personal items inside. There is always something unique to find. I especially like the old hood emblems and badges on a lot of the old classic cars there. I believe this one is from an old Cadillac...maybe late 40's or early 50's. Someone correct me if I wrong.

Timeless. There is a saying that the best camera is the one you have on you. This is an iPhone photograph. I am starting to use it more and more. I really like it for street photography because it not as intimidating as a DSLR.

A shot originally taken for this week's SSC ( Pastel & Dreamy ) , however I am not sure this fits the bill , but as a shot I think worth keeping .
It has a plaque on the wall at the far end saying it is a building of historic interest but have drawn a blank so far on finding anything out .
The property is now divided into two separate dwellings .
Paris is known for its carousels, with approximately 20 scattered around the city - often close to tourist attractions. Situated below the Eiffel Tower, this is perhaps one of the most famous - and most photographed - of the carousels in Paris. Happy Slider Sunday! :)

“The word carousel derives from the Spanish carosella—or the Italian garosello, depending on whom one asks—which means “little war” and refers to a Byzantine battle game brought to Europe during the time of the crusades. The machines began as a safer alternative to jousting and other forms of combat exercises, which often injured knights-in-training. Over time, non-soldiers started climbing on the fake horses, just for fun, and it didn’t take long before skilled artisans got to work carving whimsical figures—not just horses but other farmyard animals, wild beasts, and even mythical creatures. Thus, the modern carousel was born.
Before the advent of electricity, carousels were cranked by hand or pulled by draft animals; sometimes a circular pit was dug into the ground beneath the main platform, where the horses, donkeys, or oxen trudged on their endless rounds. But it was the introduction of the steam engine that spurred the rapid proliferation of the fanciful contraptions throughout Europe and the Americas. These engines also powered the popular band organs, whose carnivalesque music is now so associated with the joy of riding a merry-go-round.
Carousels became wildly popular in the 1800s and continued to enchant not only children but adults as well through the first half of the 20th century. In the U.S., the popularity of the merry-go-round waned with the advent of roller coasters, but theme parks are not as common in Europe. Also, in France carousels typically stand alone, without the accompaniment of a carnival or other rides.”

Nature, God's canvas, painted bright,
With dawn's soft glow and starry night.
In every forest, on each verdant hill,
His love whispers, tranquil and still.
From mighty peaks to oceans adrift,
Nature's splendor, God's timeless gift.
