 This is a scene I captured at the Austin TX Hotrod Roundup. This is Friday evening and the show starts on Saturday but hundreds of rodder's were cruising and mingling on South Congress, a local strip with restaurants, music, and ecclectic stores. This is a great way to see these cars as there is nothing like seeing, and hearing, them as they cruise around. Besides the cars there were older motorcycles and even bicycles.

the angled light really works well here to give this a gritty and old time feel

I think the bikes were called penny farthings or something like that. Very enjoyable capture to share all the nifty vehicles!

Except for the t-shirt, this could have been shot early last century. Love it.

Oh Darn! That would have been so fun to make a trip to Austin for. Jutilda loves old cars too. We should have had a GTG. This makes me want to see more :) Good job!
