clickbait

Locarno Beach

foolish to put the camera away too quickly, as who knows what photographic clickbait stands along the road...had to stop again when this almost California-like scene hoved into view...turns out the two vehicles were fortuitously linked...the VW Kombi belonged to an Asian fellow selling Thai coconut ice cream balls...an English fellow owns the '55 T-Bird...hood up it seemed he was showing the engine, but in fact the car had just conked out and he was awaiting help from BCAA ...in the meantime the Thai treats were sold out, so no comfort food just when he needed some

Always pays to have the camera at hand...great capture of these two classics. Pity about the sold-out ice creams though...

Lucky you, to have crossed paths with this unique pair. Unlucky about coconut treats, too bad.

Love the T-Bird and I'd probably love the coconut ice cream too. An interesting story to accompany a great find. It does often seem that opportunities arise quickly when the camera is in the bag.

Both very nice cars captured very well. ~BV~

Two classics captured with stellar clarity and detail. Love the vibrant colors enhanced by the strong lighting. V+

Those two colors sure look great together. Interesting story to go with the photo.

I have never had a Thai coconut ice cream ball but I deeply feel this tragedy in my soul!
What a great moment and photo.
So cool the way the hood and roof work in this composition.

Nice symmetry between the raised hood of the car and the roof of the combi !

A great photo of these two classic rides.

Ah - I miss our VW combi :( Love the story behind this scene !!

It does look like a California scene, glad you had your camera ready.

Interesting scene well verbalized David.

Cool photo. So how was the coconut ice cream?
Walter Otto Koenig27-Sep-2021 23:26
Nice shot of these two oldies side by side, and even better with the story.

Love this one and what a story it tells!

Quite the interesting scene, and it only goes to show one always needs to have a camera or cell phone at the ready.

Glad you had your trusty camera locked and loaded for this cool shot of early auto history! Hope the T-bird got a fix. V
