Another year, and another retreat at Glen Eyrie for my wife, and another opportunity for me to pop over there to, er, take her something she’d forgotten. In the Volvo, of course. And it was a lovely sunny October day before the next snowstorm closes in tomorrow, so of course I had to take a couple of photos. […]
Quick photo at the Shops at Briargate
It was a very sunny early Sunday morning and I was out getting the breakfast bagels from Panera, when I noticed that I could do a clear shot of 64SAINT in front of the side wall of Biaggi’s. No cars parked in the way, no one around. ‘Nuff said – especially as the previous day I’d washed and waxed the car – so I quickly drove there and took the photo. […]
Quick photo at Glen Eyrie
2017 has been weird year for owning 64SAINT: in essence, we moved (bigger house, and an extra garage space – no more winter storage!) and I just didn’t have a lot of time for enjoying the car. Until the clutch went on my Audi that is, and I had to drive 64SAINT for 10 days or so in all kinds of crappy weather while it was being fixed. (And yes, I can attest that the windscreen wipers do work…) […]
Photoshoot at Glen Eyrie
What’s not to like: a beautiful sunny blue-skied late October day, my wife at a retreat in Glen Eyrie, and … she forgot something, so could I bring it to her? Pretty please? No sweat: it would make an ideal opportunity to do one of the last drives this year in 64SAINT before it goes into its winter hideaway, and in doing so an ideal opportunity to take a couple of photos in front of the castle. […]
64SAINT, taken by an iPhone 6
I’d posted this photo a couple of months back on my Facebook page, but completely forgot to post it here. […]
Photoshoot on the Pikes Peak Highway
Over the winter months I put 64SAINT into storage, not because there aren’t days I could use it during that time, but because if I didn’t I would have to keep my daily driver out in the snow and frost and whatever else comes down. I’m getting too old to scrape the windshield of ice and snow every morning. […]
64SAINT in the fall
Since I had only housework-type chores to do today, I escaped mid-morning for an hour to see if I couldn’t take a few photographs of 64SAINT next to some fall colors. Let’s put it like this: I was a smidge too late and most of the colors have yellowed too much already. Or the leaves have already fallen. So, only a couple of good shots. […]
64SAINT in ex-industrial settings
I got let off early from an all-afternoon rehearsal so, as it was a pretty, sunny, and somewhat warm day in Colorado Springs, I decided to take the Volvo 1800S out for a spin and a photo shoot. It also helped that I’d washed it yesterday (it also being a pretty, sunny, and somewhat warm day), so the gods were smiling on me. 64SAINT was eager to be out and about after some time in the garage during the recent snowfalls and freezing days, so I took it downtown for some pristine-car-against-grungy-industrial-background shots. […]
Testing out a photoshoot location
I took 64SAINT out for a drive this lunch hour to stretch its legs (as it were) after some three weeks without being used, to fill it up, and to fetch something from the vets. Since they shut for lunch, it was late when I took the trip, so the sun was starting to go down by the time I got to Panera. […]
