Ein ganz besonderes Sylvester! Mit meinen Freunden von Couchsurfing Dubai & Abu Dhabi sind wir in die Wüste gefahren...insgesamt waren wir rund um die 75 Leute! Und haben dort dann unsere Zelte aufgeschlagen...den Sonnenuntergang angeschaut...dann wurde am Lagerfeuer gegrillt..es gab einen DJ mit Lichtorgel und allem drum und dran..man konnte Quad fahren.....in der Nacht im Zelt war es ziemlich kalt..aber es war trotzdem wunderschön!
Eine ganz tolle Erfahrung..am liebsten sofort wieder!!!

Anderson, Indiana (May 21, 2011) – The Little 500 Car Show has become one of Anderson, Indiana’s top downtown attractions. This year marked the 9th Annual Little 500 Downtown Car Show in Anderson. It might seem almost undoable to put together such an amazing event like the one today in our hard-hit economy. It just goes to prove what kind of spirit and resilience the people that live in Anderson, Indiana have. Today’s show was nothing less than terrific. The staff of AIMS said they had 115 registered entries for today’s car show. It would not surprise me if the actual number of cars on display was quit a bit more.
Put together each year by the staff of AIMS’s, under the leadership of Lori Sylvester and scores of volunteers, the AIMS Little 500 Car show brings together some of the areas top vintage cars, trucks and coolest Hot-Rod’s.
The Little 500 has also become another kind of showcase. On top of the wonderful automotive heritage on display throughout downtown it also brings together the greatest group of people you’ll find anywhere and they are the people who work and live in the Anderson, Indiana area.
This annual event takes place each May just prior to the running of “The Greatest Spectacle on Earth”, the Indianapolis 500. If you didn’t make it to this year’s event be sure to add it to your list of things to do next year.
So what do you do with such a car? After digging up some history on the car, the decision was made to more or less restore it to what it looked like in the 50's/60's.
My older sister, Jo, got me a 50mm f1.8 lens for Christmas. So a lot of the following photos are taken with it. The narrow depth of field does make for some interesting photos, but the focus is hard to get right (and the auto-focus seems to be a bit unreliable).
