The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Tina.

Nostalgia can be many things.  Old, new, bold, blue.  For some, it’s 

CARS!

Sate yourself, or forever hold your peace.

I leave you with this quote from the Lapham’s Quarterly weekly email:

““What else than a natural and mighty palimpsest is the human brain?” asked Thomas De Quincey, who died on this day in 1859. “Such a palimpsest is my brain; such a palimpsest, oh reader, is yours.””

Enjoy!

Kudos to the tireless leaders of the weekly Lens-Artists challenge.

  4. Wow John – at first when I saw “34” photos in the opening line I was expecting to scroll and scroll – but did not – instead – you did a fine job with the tile layout like this – made it so smooth and seamless -and the cars are way cool – going to look again

      1. yes – I recently started exploring with the galleries – so far only really used the regular slides and then tiles – but you really demonstrated how to utilize that option)

    1. Ha! Thanks Cee. I don’t know much about cars but I like to look. Growing up in the late ’50s, early ’60s, my friends and I would marvel at the new car models every year with their soaring tail fins and bullet noses. Loved to look at ‘hot rods’ too. It just stuck as a fascination.

  10. Brilliant as the colors and brands and shapes of the cars.I specially like the Blue , I guess a Chevrolet…I fancy it because it was a blue Chevrolet (an official car of my Uncle Head of Azad Jammu and Kashmir in 1957 ) which was a frequent visitor and I would have the honor to sit in the drivers seat as a very young child.It was a royal feeling, holding the silver steel steering wheel, the strangely sweet scent of leather inside and the white uniform clad driver holding his peak cap standing at guard, lest I let free the gear, unforgettable and no doubt ‘Nostalgic’ Thanks for sharing.

  13. This is exactly like the museum I just visited. Aren’t the cars awesome?
    I enjoyed visiting and seeing the changes over the years. My neighbor is a car restorer – hobby – and the ones he brings back to life are fabulous. GREAT CHOICES for the challenge.
