Rheola Charity Carnival

[Kobione]

Was our local photography groups scheduled day out today - only Brian and I were available so we cruised off for a couple of hours to a small town Charity Carnival. There were some nice shiny classic cars, but lots of people standing around them, which made things a bit difficult. Here are two:

Some horse jumping, only basic level:

That's not a jump Mum, it's only a trot over!

Some patiently waiting their turn:

Caught a bit of activity at the wood chopping contest:

Standing ready to go:

And we're off!:

The guy in the maroon shirt won, and I think this guy was a bit disappointed.

Great set Dee. The nose on the car in number one is something else. Love it. What is it.

The wood cutter competition looks like some serious effort in very hot conditions.

A great fun set here Dee......I notice that your lens didn’t remain in the cars for too long though

I don’t like hot-sticky weather, but, Boy ! We could do with a day or two of it here just now.....April already, and weather-wise we remain in mid-winter....I have never know such a miserable cold Spring.

The plants and wildlife a struggling to make a go of things....no leaves on trees or hedges yet...so little cover for nesting birds.....the buds are there but remaining firmly closed.

Our ford just a few hundred yards from the house is impassable for the third time in a week.....unless you drive a vehicle with a snorkel and won’t float....the only bonus is, that the normally heavy traffic isn’t disturbing us.

Great pics, I especially like the second car, shame about the reflections in the door, but I guess that's what you get with a chrome finish.

The axe welding certainly looks hard work. I've done a bit in my time at work, and certainly wouldn't be doing it for fun!

Thanks Kev, Fuji and Rick

Kev I'm not perfectly certain, but I think the first car was a Buick Elect, special edition. It was in fantastic condition and attracted the interest of many people. There were two very nice Mustangs there too, but, as I've mentioned it was hard to get decent shots because the cars were constantly surrounded by viewers.

Rick, that second car was so shiny it was hard to get any picture without including a 'selfie"!!

There were actually 5 competitors in that round of the wood chop, but the others were not in a convenient spot to get. Fortunately the day was not too hot, very pleasant to wander around.
