The run around Chain of ponds and onto Birdwood.
If you know anything about these cars, specs, history, please post a comment.
2012. the year of the vintage (made between 1919 and 1930), veteran (pre-1919) and old.
No Classic cars (That comes in the 2013 run).
For more information look at www.baytobirdwood.com.au/the_run.html
I got to the grounds early (about 6am) and watched the oval fill from nothing. 1800 cars were expected for the biggest event of this type in the world.
From the website
"The sun will not yet have risen over the Adelaide Hills when the very first vehicles start arriving at Adelaide Shores. It may only be 6am but the excitement will already be palpable as these marvellous veteran, vintage and early classic vehicles ready themselves for the biennial Bay to Birdwood Run.
Breakfast With The Cars has become a tradition and this is the spectators' opportunity to mix 'n mingle with entrants and their vehicles. Enjoy a range of breakfasts provided by local service organisations washed down with jazz and other vintage entertainment, line the start ahead of the flag off by the one and only Glen Dix at 8:30 am and be a part of this icon event. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for all entrant vehicles to depart on the route to Birdwood - give them a send off they won't forget!
Vehicles head down West Beach Road after the official Start turning right into Tapleys Hill Road then left into Anzac Highway. Their journey through metropolitan Adelaide en route to the Finish at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood enables the spectators who line the 72km route each year to see Australia's greatest motoring show on wheels pass right in front of them - 2 hours of motoring history!"
The cars need to meet strict guidelines and the drivers and passangers are encouraged to dress in period clothes.
"Only those motor vehicles built and at ready for sale stage on or before 31 December 1955 are eligible to take part.
The onus of proof of date of build is the responsibility of the entrant and if required by the Committee must be substantiated and be supported by a Statutory Declaration. In the event of false information being supplied all entry monies will be forfeited.
All motor vehicles must be substantially to manufacturers' specifications, roadworthy and of acceptable standard of quality in the opinion of the Committee."
I enjoyed the ride. We passed many broken down cars whilst gliding along in my fathers Jowett Javelin.
We ended up in the fields behind the Birdwood Mill. We looked through the muesum and also the best dressed cars in the Concours d'Elegance. We listened to period music and poked about amongst the cars.

I find cars with many bumper stickers interesting and try to check out as many as I can. I'm usually behind them in traffic so there isn't much time. In any case, I've acquired enough photos now to start a new collection which I hope you'll enjoy.
Please note that I'm not encouraging comments about the content of the stickers. That could quickly get into nasty arguments and I don't need that aggravation. We live in a country where people can put this stuff on the back of their cars. Let's simply revel in that.
Finally, I've loaded larger-than-usual versions of the pictures so that you can give these works of art the detailed inspection that they deserve.

Note: NO MULTIPLY INVITATIONS in your comments Please, THANKS
Tomorrow we celebrate the New Year according to the Hebrew calendar and I want to wish you all, no matter what calendar you use a Happy New Year.
Hope the New Year will be a better one for us all. Last one was not bad in personal terms, but I believe that no man is an island, and it was a bad year for many people all over. Communication devices are getting better and "wiser", not so us. It is high time to improve communications between people and nations for our sake and for future generations to come. Peace
20 minutes ago we were connected after a week! Good to be back on line!

This is my second entry to the Bricklink Designer Program Series 6. I appreciate all votes and comments:
www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/2215/The-O...
I love architecture and I decided to design an opera house to Bricklink Designer Program Series 6 and my inspiration came from the opera houses of Budapest and Vienna. I tried to add many typical details, and decorations such as a combination of an arcade and a balcony on the front facade, statues, dormer windows, a brick-built light pole, light on the rear facade, planter etc.. The roof assembly and the auditorium balcony are removable and a big part of the rear wall is openable to make the interior space accessible.

That house looks great! You did a great job with the decorating. I feel like it's something I would see in a magazine!

this looks perfect wendy... what fun you must be having. what did you use to make the shingles look glossy? and, did you get my choco rocks i sent out in october?
i'm sure people will be signing up, you will probably have to do several classes due to the amount of interest.
wmpe2000 11y
Yes, I received your rocks and they are paving the way to the front door. Corn syrup brushed on to the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal gives the glossy look.
comments would be very much appreciated When you comment my shots, please also favorite it also, that would help me a lot. Thanks!
if you want to add tags feel free same as posting onto blogs etc

Day 29 - Camp Jabez Open House
This was taken with my 50mm f/1.8 II and set to B/W in Lightroom. :)
Melody (Light hair) and Sue (dark hair). :) The Open House for camp was today! It was amazing. Even though it was pretty cold (around 45 degrees...brrr...compared to the upper 50's and low 60's we've been used to!!) , everyone had a good time.
Sorry this isn't as sharp as it should be. Taking pictures of Sue is really, really, really hard...since she thinks she doesn't look good in them and will only stand still for a half second to let you take one. :) So I had to be really quick, and didn't have time to put the dot exactly where it was supposed to be. This is actually a pretty good picture of Sue. Love her!! I can't imagine life with you, Lovely. :) I love how when I look into her eyes in this I can just feel her warmth and love. :D

"Mmm, in 1906, the Fire gutted the inside, the roof and the original windows, but the walls are still the original 1854 structure.. The sign (replaced, of course, it's wood...) below the clock still has the same saying (before 1906, there was a brothel across California Street) "Son, observe the time and fly from evil..."

Old Saint Mary's Cathedral & Chinese Mission
A Missionary Community of Faith Served by the Paulist Fathers Since 1894
Old St. Mary's Cathedral: Old St. Mary's is one of the most prominent buildings in the Chinatown area. The cathedral was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 using brick that was shipped around Cape Horn and granite from China. Though the original was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the cathedral was rebuilt in 1909. 660 California St. www.sfgate.com/neighborhoods/sf/chinatown/

The Site of Old St. Mary's
Cornerstone 1853
Dedicated 1854
The first building erected as a cathedral in California, Old St. Mary's served the archdiocese of San Francisco in that capacity from 1854 to 1891. Once the city's most prominent building, much of its stone work was quarried and cut in China and its brick brought "around the Horn" in sailing ships. California Registered Historical Landmark No.810. Plaque placed by the California State Park and Commission in cooperation with the Paulist Fathers and the Grand Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, May 7, 1966.
Old St. Mary's Church was established by Father Henry Ignatius Stark as a mission. The purpose was to teach the Chinese community about the Catholic faith. It was built by Chinese laborers in 1854 with brick brought around Cape Horn and granite cut in China. It was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in 1909. Across from this Catholic landmark is St. Mary's Square, where a 12-foot statue of Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Chinese Republic (1911-1913), is located. www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/attractions/oldstmary.html

Here's the package of goodies Hero Arts sent for my "green" comment. LUCKY ME! The Hero Hues Foliage Papers are so beautiful and superb quality, with a very smooth "hand" (as we would say if dealing with fabric). The four-flower set, Take Good Care Greetings, stamps beautifully, of course. And a great bonus: copies of the HA catalogs! Yay!
Thank you, Hero Arts!

More in comments, I can't decide.
I kinda want to crop this & the noise is bugging the crap outta me.
See the annoying grainyness large & on white.
Taken: Today, Vu's laundry room. o_o
Natural lighting from window, my legs being closer to the camera than the rest of my body kind of bugs me. I realized that I dont' take many pictures of myself, and you won't see my face much because I have an eyelid infection & will continue looking like crap for the next week.
