Beautiful Autumn Day
« on: November 01, 2014, 14:45:28 »
Today was a wonderful autumn day - 1 november - for a drive. The car won't be going into hibernation yet as we'll be doing the Tour de Gazet rally at the end of november. If only I could make sure the weather would be the same…

You're lucky with the weather. Here in DC it looks like it's going to snow. Heavy dark gray sky, cold... I hope it will improve for tomorrow's gathering at Tom's place.

Beautiful color is your car, though it looks a bit lighter than on other pictures you posted?

GGR, I took this photograph with a different camera (a Fujifilm X20 with film mode in Velvia setting, as opposed to my usual Canon DSLR). Second, the sun is behind the car, hence the bonnet appears lighter...

Well spotted!

The weatherman was good to us today and after raking 8 bags of leaves I took our Golden Retriever Charlene (Charlie) to the dog park. Stopped by Western University of Ontario and took a couple of photographs. I could not resist to take the car out one more time, we never know what tomorrow might bring (snow rrrrrrrrr wet and cold). The drive all around 25 KM was okay with the heater on and ambient temperature at 10C (feels like 7C).
