Classic Model A Ford in 3D

Classic Model A Ford in 3DVerna took several pictures of this extremely well restored Model A today. We were going to the local discount store for a few supplies and saw this car parked in the lot out front. Somebody certainly applied some tender loving care to this beautiful classic. We do not recall seeing this particular classic at the car show the other day, but we may have missed it since we were a late arrival and some of the classics had already left.

I got out my little camera and snapped an image pair to be merged into this 3D image. Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. In case you do not have 3D glasses, you can view the 2D version here.

Wickenburg Railroad Siding and Switch

Wickenburg Siding and Switch

I took an image of the railroad track the other day. We crossed the BNSF track at Yavapai, just north of the old train station. There is a siding (seldom used) and a switch for directing the train cars onto the siding. When rendered in sepia, the shot looks like it could have been taken last century.

Classic 1956 Chevrolet Interior

We went to the classic car show and fly-in today at the Wickenburg Airport. One of the classic cars was this beautifully restored 1956 Chevrolet. I took a photo of the interior as it might have appeared new some 55 years ago. Click on the image to enlarge.

Classic Car Show

Wickenburg’s Gold Rush Days is in progress this weekend. The owners of dozens of classic cars showed them off on Frontier Street today. Verna snapped a hundred and seven images at the event. I selected several of her photos to include in this classic car slideshow. Move your mouse cursor over the slideshow to pause, move out to resume.

Mike’s Place

We took a ride up to Congress, AZ today, to arrange for a custom gate for our new courtyard. It turns out that Mike’s place of business is quite a collection of art and things that snap us into the past like this nostalgic garage from the 1920s. We rendered it in sepia to enhance the nostalgia. 😉 Click on the image to enlarge.

Pinal County Courthouse

This beautiful 19th century brick and wood structure dominates the center of picturesque Florence, Arizona. The Pinal County Courthouse is an artifact of the old west, built when Arizona was still a territory. It’s just beautiful! Click image to enlarge.
