This series was taken during a Photography Club of Bayfield Photowalk at Bayfield North Antiques & Collectibles Flea Market. This place was so unique and unusual, to the point of being surreal. As such, I decided not to edit this series for any sense of journalistic realism and opted instead to experiment with a variety of Lightroom tools and adjustments I typically avoid.
This Canadian Speedboat never lost a race. The boat was powered by a modified WWII Spitfire engine, with a racing speed of 202 km/h
