Super! First set I’ve seen where sun flares show up well.

Those are nice shots.

I got a good series of the corona, each different. When I scan through them quickly it’s almost like watching the corona come to life.
I was lucky.

I used to avoid FB like the plague. But I discovered the “groups”, such as this drone related one, and since then I check it out often. I have supplied minimal information, have only a handful of “friends”, never post anything personal, and my pic is not very identifiable. The only posts I do are comments in some of the groups, and those contain no personal info. I’ve blocked posts from some “friends” that insisted on me knowing what they ate, where they are, etc. I have zero interest in what they are doing or eating or whatever. I’ve turned off all FB notifications and such and that keeps me blissfully unaware of all that mess.

Meanwhile, there’s a lot of interesting stuff in the FB groups.

Thanks

Thanks. I was hoping others would add theirs but maybe everyone wants their own thread.
Ron

I’ll add three of my photos to the mix. Entry diamond ring, Totality, and Exit diamond ring.

Feel free to add your photos so this thread could offer “one stop shopping”.

We did the Durango-Silverton back in early 90s. Happened to catch the very last train of the season. Not too many passengers so we got to roam from open to closed cars and it was a total hoot. The advantage of the late fall trip was most of the leaves had fallen from the trees except for evergreens, so the mountain views were spectacular. This was late October. I figure a couple of weeks earlier would have found some fall color and still left much of the wonderful views. The weather was Colorado nippy and being able to go out to the open cars let us experience that nippy along with getting some soot on us from the coal fired steam engine. We did the full round trip so it took all day. The only negative was most of the shops in Silverton had closed for the winter. We were still able to grab a nice lunch at a little restaurant.

Absolutely beautiful. The last photo looks like they maybe hadn’t done a final color sand and clear coat. I’m beginning to think the late 40’s models are my favorite.

You always do a spectacular job of photographing.

Ron

Wait - 1881? That makes you at least 143. That was a typo, right? 😄 If not a typo then I should feel really young at 81.
Regardless, I loved the part about one of the Morgan’s winking at you. I saw my first one back in the mid ‘60s. It was BRG with tan leather interior. That’s been my favorite combo ever since.

Ron

Gotta agree with several others - number two is outstanding.

If I remember correctly the frame rails were never made of wood. It’s the body framework thats wood (ash I think). However, I’m not so well versed on Morgans that I’d bet my arsh on my above statement.

Ron

Great shot, as is usual with your posts. This is my favorite of the 3-4 early 50’s Chevy pickups you’ve posted lately. Maybe not the color but this one has a perfect stance. Bet it’s running a nice SBC or LS.

You do excellent auto photography! I always enjoy looking at your stuff.
Ron

I think I see a kindred spirit - you like all the racing cars, perhaps lean toward those classes that visually represent known marquees, and probably were disappointed that the Corvettes didn’t finish any higher. I’m always interested in seeing the GM products do good, and I guess I’m a little disappointed that the mid-engine models didn’t immediately become all-conquering.

Great shots. I’ll bet you had a ball being there.

To me, “take” has always meant to transport something to another place besides your present location, whereas “bring” has meant to transport something back to your present location (or a designated location you’ll be at).
