Rivets and Curves (7480)

~~~~~

A night fisheye photo accentuating the curves of the front of this rare vintage bus. I snuck in a quick visit just before Thanksgiving Day, photographing for two nights in a row in the California desert near the Mexican border. And I managed to stay awake for Thanksgiving dinner the following evening, a great success. Although warm and sunny during the day, by the time I packed up, it was below freezing and I had ice on my windshield. I illuminated the scene with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure.

This is a rare 1930 Nite Coach made by Pickwick. The transport industry was then regulated by the railroads, stipulating how buses would be built. This one was built from aviation aluminum and was designed as a touring bus. The lower half had beds, bathrooms, and showers. The upper half was for sitting and dining. While this sounds elegant, apparently they were not too popular since they were smoky and noisy. Thanks for looking.

Another view of the Bridge. A little closer this time. :-)

To what degree was it stage managed that the star of the show was the last balloon to stand up? Whether it was or not, it was a fitting climax to a fantastic morning to see the multicolored hummingbird balloon rise up. It is a big balloon, seeming to dwarf Old Parliament House from this perspective. The white color of Old Parliament House was also the perfect backdrop to the bright colors of this balloon. Looking closely at the crowd, I can see that people were riveted by the sight of this balloon. And nobody left before the hummingbird had lifted off and drifted well out of view.
