Blue Evening At The Keeper Of The Plains
.
Blackbear Bosin’s The Keeper of the Plains, located at the confluence of the Big & Little Arkansas rivers in the heart of my home town, Wichita, Ks. The sky looked interesting this particular evening so I drove down to the Keeper and loitered about. After getting soaked by a brief rain shower, things started to improve. I have some images with more dramatic clouds, but I really liked the deep blue evening sky color in this one, contrasted with the artificially lit sculpture. There are a lot of power lines in the area, along with a couple of tall suspension bridge towers (interesting subject for photos as well) so it is sometimes a challenge to frame the sculpture to exclude all those things.
Cadillac
.
One last image from the car show. A great old black Cadillac. It was at last years show also, I have many a shot of it’s hood ornament, of which I have posted a couple in the past. (The third photo down in my recent “hood ornament bonanza” post for example. It’s a big old hulking piece of American metal, full of interesting details and a boat load of character, beautifully restored and maintained.
Ford Shoots Ford
.
Last year around this time I posted a “Ford Shoots Chevy” photo from the Blacktop Nationals car show. This year it was a Ford that had the best hubcap for a self portrait. So there you have it!
Ford Out Front
.
Just a couple of Ford related images from the Blacktop Nationals car show in Wichita a couple of weeks ago. I love the details on the old cars. I was going to say I love the details on the old Ford’s, but I see that in the mirror every day wink-wink.
