Sunrise or Sunset? I once read an interesting article about sunrises and sunsets. Most people can't tell them apart. The only way to know for sure, is if you are familiar with the geography and can tell whether the image is facing east or west. The winter months can make it harder too, since the sun has a shorter path in the sky. Since I know you are about to burst wanting to know which one this is, I'll satisfy your curiosity. It's an early morning shot of the Pensacola Beach skyline. But the ferris wheel gave that away, didn't it?
1935 Plymouth PJ This four-door PJ model might be the PJ "Six". it was a slightly upgraded version of the Business model. "The only noticeable difference between it and the regular business line was that the hood received the deluxe chrome trim of 3 chromed bars with 5 circles behind. Headlamps remained painted like the business line however." (allpar.com) This vehicle has chrome headlamps, but that's okay with me. It's a great example of leaving the original features, while adding some new touches. This would be a beautiful car to take out to a better venue for a stand-alone "portrait".
Montrose DECEMBER 29, 2012 LEAVE A COMMENT (EDIT) Montrose is one of those up-town streets in Houston that means different things to different people. When I grew up and through college, it was known as the “place” where people of alternate lifestyles lived. While that is still true to a lesser extent today, it is now considered more of a cultural center that showcases museums, musicians, the University of St. Thomas, fine restaurants and much more. While it may still have a strong night life, many examples of Houston’s historic residential architecture in the tree-lined streets with many century-old bungalows and mansions can be found. This scene with the streaks of passing cars was by the Hotel Zaza close across from the Mecom Fountain.
