This is at an oasis which was once a luxury resort but the locals now use the area as a day out to go dune buggy racing or to sail out on the oasis
I love how this turned out. I used a texture in the background by Skeletal mess. The sparkly bokeh on the flower is straight out of the camera. I love it.
On a very hot afternoon in Cordoba, we took a buggy ride around the old quarter of the city. It was rough and a waste of money, but a fun experience. I hung out the side to get this shot; I expect it was a one way street ;-))
Happy Fence Friday!!
HFF!!
The Buggy Barn Museum is located Just outside Blanco, Texas. Who knew! The place is really cool. It's like taking a step back in time. Here's what the Internet say:
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the horse--drawn carriage was king. Carriages, designed for comfort and elegance, were reserved for the rich or businesses, such as funeral homes. A public passenger vehicle was called a stagecoach; working four-wheeled vehicles were wagons; and two-wheeled vehicles were carts. But the general terminology for all of these horse-drawn vehicles is “buggy.” Buggies started to disappear as steam engines began to generate interest. Steam power quickly won the battle against animal power and buggies have all but vanished from general use.
Inside there are more than 100 buggies, carriages, and wagons for you to look at -- up close and personal.
The Hearse came from Europe. In the 1860s, it would have been drawn by either two or four black horses, and was known as the Black Brigade. The one on display here is fairly elaborate and most likely was reserved for royalty.
The 1903 Studebaker, the largest of the Rockaway Carriages, had glass enclosures and could carry six passengers.
The Canadian-made Jump Seat Buggy could be configured in two ways -- either with two rows of seats or the front seat could be folded down and the main seat would slide forward over the jump seat, giving the driver more comfort.
Work wagons
There are also many larger wagons outside, including a stagecoach and a Conestoga wagon. The Conestoga wagon was first built by Mennonite-German settlers near the Conestoga River Valley in Lancaster, Pa., in the mid-1700s. These wagons were heavily used in the westward expansion of the United States, because of their load capability.

“He’s of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger…. he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.” ~Henry V
Buggies at rest means the owners usually are bust working or visiting each other.
A little Topaz textures to give it a more period and artsy appeal.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Well, not really because it's three at once and not three in a row, but it's the best my brain could come up with this morning.
You can see all three large on black.
