Cee’s Black and White Challenge:

Wheels.

~~~~~

 A selection of wheels…

Indian motorbike.

About a mid 1970s Holden Kingswood wheel on a

GTS model…read ‘souped up’…bigger engine etc.

The Torana was a small car of the 1960s and early 1970s.

This one was probably the model after my first Torana.

If you have ever seen the Bathurst 500 (miles), now 1000 (km),

car race you will know that this little car won

many of the 60s and 70s races at Bathurst, NSW.

A 2014 VF Holden Commodore wheel.

I have enlarge this image so that I could read the badge on the front

of this car.

Although I have not seen this one in action,

I now believe it a USA car, but built in Germany.

It is an amphibious car and was made in the early to mid 60s.

Google ‘ampficar’

The Wikipedia article complete with images

Its bright red paint attracted me.

Red cars go 5% faster in Australia…

don’t know about other parts of the world 🙂

Another 2014 VF Holden Commodore wheel.

I am also calling this a wheel…it belongs to

General Motors Holden…

an Australian made car…only for the nest few years though.

I think the tree frames, at least on three sides,

these African Fish Eagles nicely.

My contribution for this week’s

Fun Foto Challenge

Some more of the inaugural Cadel Evans Classic…

held a few weeks ago.

A reasonably old Indian motor bike.

Stepping off the train at Southern Cross Station

(Spencer St, Melbourne) I was greeted

by this row of bikes for hire.

Ride around a city?

Not likely for yours truly!

Black and White Tuesday,

 February 24, 2015

~~~~~

About twelve months ago, I posted a photo similar to this.

Last weekend I decided to go have a look for myself.

This section of the beautiful, but almost dry, Leigh River

was the setting of the Shelford Duck race.

A few minutes later, the lead group of

seven hundred and fifty ducks came into view…

~~~~~

Hope you enjoyed.

this week.

My first sight of African animals…

 was these bontebok…

enjoying an early morning frolic…

around their paddock…
in Johannesburg.

There could be some blesbok among this group.  

To my eye they are very similar,

but both members of the antelope family.
