Black and White Challenge – Day Four – Cars

I accept the challenge to post five black and white photos for five consecutive days this week. They ask that we include our black and white and its original match and I threw in some extras for fun.

I was challenged by Indah Susanti.  Indah has a gorgeous travel blog specializing in underwater photography.  I encourage you to check it out.

As part of the challenge I am encouraged to challenge another blogger I am connected to each day.  Today I challenge

Andrew Petcher @ Have Bag Will Travel. Andrew is a prolific blogger writing great posts after great post about all of his experiences.  I hope you will check out his blog.

The photos included in this challenge are from the LeMans Auto Museum in LeMans, France.  It was a lot of fun to take photos of these old beautiful vehicles.  And once I got them home they were begging to become black and white.  I hope you enjoy some of my favorites.

Le Mans Car Museum

Eric and I were traveling through France when he spied “Le Mans” on the map. Being a type A traveler there wasn’t much time planned for a diversion. But, seeing the look on his face there was not a chance of our missing it. We drove to the track and visited the museum located on the hallowed grounds of Le Mans! As it turns out there is a glorious car museum there that Eric and I enjoyed immensely. Old cars are a hoot to photograph.

Enjoy some of my subjects during our visit. (Cars sit still a lot better than brides and children do as it turns out.)
