Robyn- Between the Targa in this challenge, and the bottle of whiskey in the last; are you taking visitors? Each seperate upon itself of course!

Steven,

I was SURE you would do a train shot for this one! The shot you submitted is great in its simplicity. You can really imagine yourself going around the bend of the curve.

We do actually have quite a famous targa held here in Tasmania in May. The duration is for about 4 - 5 days and it goes right around the island with various targa sections, where that part of the public road is closed for the event.

I LOVE your railway lines. Did you put the yellow flowers into it or were they already there? Just adds the right touch to it anyway, regardless.!

Steven what a magic train, it could be used as a modern train for Harry Potter

Jim, I was quite taken with the Skagway old snow plow, the colour are just as I remember them

Robyn, great cars with the solid red background, they really make an impact

Tim, the chequered border really makes the Corvette stand out

Steven, love the unused rails - did you get down on your belly to take it?

Anna, really great image and I like the slight fading of the photo it adds to the effect

Tony, good composition and vibrant colours

Kev, WHAT get rid of them!! London just won't be the same without the red double-decker buses!! Like the insert in the corner.

We had a big wind storm last night that knocked out the power so I'm a little late with my thanks to you Kay, Robyn and Karen. The two track shot was a color photo where I brought back color to the plant using a real round about method; it was done before I learned what an adjustment layer could do.
Karen- I would never have thought about doing something with a forklift but that's so cool! Pretty unusual and nicely done. Is there a significance to these type of equipment? I'm trying to piece together people's background through what I read here and there and I thought I saw somewhere that you were (or are) in farming?

Kev,

The doubledecker bus is a thing of the past?! How sad. And, for just a brief second I was aghast that the driver was reading the paper, and then I breathed a sigh of relief when I remembered the whole driving on the right thing.

I remember those red double-decker buses well. My guess is that a number of the old ones will find their way over to North America - there already are a lot here already - I even ran across one here that someone was living in . I'm told you can buy one for $3000 - of course you then have to get it to where you want it and find a place to keep it

Kev,
Such a shame about the demise of the doubledecker red buses. When we were in London some time ago I took a photo in Oxford Street of a whole line up of them. Melbourne has it's trams and I think it's something that immediately gives an identity to that city........think of Sydney and it's the Opera House or the Bridge............think of Melbourne and I always think of trams.

Hello,
I don't live in London but the Red buses have been replaced with a longer, more modern? type.
They have great trouble with the narrow streets when trying to turn right or left.
Who said new is better.
Kev.
