.....and what a fantastic surprise I had when I stopped on the Kirkstone Pass in Cumbria to take some photographs of the view. I think I came across a timewarp and got transported back in time - and out of nowhere I saw this classic Austin car passing me by.... see even ghosts can see me - they waved! lol! ...excuse the blurred background - I was concentrating on keeping the car in focus before it poofed again! :)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

I kinda like the blurred background...it emphasizes the focus and movement of the car. And a very cool car indeed!!

Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.

Gotta love this one. Just for the car alone. But the rest is terrific as usual, Patti.
