Chrome on White

1936 Chevy Pickup
Photo taken at a local car show.

Enjoy the world in black and white if only for a moment. Visit Dragonstar at The Weekend in Black and White.

Most anywhere you find light you might also find a reflection. To find lots of reflections visit James at Weekend Reflection.

It's handsome car I should say, who doesn't want to own one like that?

Madi and Mom said...

J,
WOW!!! that is so shiny we can see our faces in it.

Happy Friday to you and Miss Cindi Lou!!! Mom is hoping to be able to visit a local bookstore to hear Gwen Cooper, the author of Homer's Odyssey, talk about the book. It is a true story about her adoption of Homer (blind at birth)as a kitten when no one else wanted him...Homer is still living too.Absolutely excellent book!!!

When did we stop making cars that look so elegant? This is a beautiful shot, Judy, just the right amount of car to tempt me to see more!

I just luv the designs of those old cars.

Great picture.

Forget the car, I'm absolutly gasping over the dragonfly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can even see the hairs on it's legs!! And the wing pattern. Amazing colors. I don't know how on earth you do this, I've been trying for over a year to get a dragnofly, grasshopper, or praying mantis. This is amazing.

Maintaining that radiator grill and the head lamp must have cost a bomb.
