Each post is so precise, interesting and well done. Thank you for joining in.

The space is quite tight for just the one car. On many country roads there is simply no way a horse could get by a car with how tight the roads are between the hedgerows. There are pull in areas every now and then and in steep hill areas, the person coming down the hill has right of way. Basically, the rule is, if you don't know how to reverse, don't go forward, when you are at the bottom of one of these standard (read narrow) country lanes that go over mountains, which, where I'm from in Wales, is just about everywhere.
And also remember, back in the day, automatics were unheard of in the majority of the UK, so you had to know how to toe and clutch with the brake and throttle. Ahhh, the good old days. If you would like to see how narrow these roads are, just watch a few episodes of Doc Martin or an episode of Escape To The Country, on British TV.

I love Doc Martin and we were in Wales and I remember these "rules of the road". We were in a non-descript rental car, but I always had a fascination for MGs, Morgans and Auburns - the classic ones. Totally impractical, but their own kind of fun (I've never driven an Auburn or Morgan, but have driven a classic Austin Healy) I mastered the careful balance between clutch and toe to hold on hills with only one stall as I recall.
I got a new classic ride this week and will post on Free Sunday. A bright red convertible and it was warm enough to ride top down. Was buckled in and ready to leave the grocery store when a woman in her 50s or early 60s came to the car and said "I just love your car and it is just wonderful to see a lovely woman driving it!" Sassy sporty cars aren't just for men.....LOL

Nice shots, Leek. Dee's brother lives on the other side of the sound in Bremerton. We've only visited once but made the most of our visit.

You should try to go again. Even if you're only able to see WA on the west side of the Sound, you'll have a lot of interesting and beautiful things to see and visit. The WA coast isn't as accessible as the OR coast. But, if you like to hike, you can see some extraordinary scenery. It's actually something I need to do more.

These are wonderful, Larry but I especially like the poolside chairs - nice lines, nice light, nice reflections.
I'll be back later today to check the latest posts. It's supposed to be in the 70s today - the last "top down" opportunity likely of the season. So, got to make use of it. Have a girlfriend who wants to ride (she used to have a BMW convertible), so we will. Meanwhile, some more panos. Verticals...
This was on the iPhone - I liked the distortion.

Thanks Pat, although most of my posts depict some form of collector cars or motorsports, I try not to be a "one trick pony"! I also love to shoot landscapes and other nature related scenes.
