A bit of both mountain and cars from a recent driving holiday in Europe.
Taken in the Mercantour Naptional Park in the French Alps.
I like it but C&C welcomed :)

Some nice pictures you have there, sadly i think the one you have posted looks like you accidently got the cars in shot, not being mean or anything I just think it would have worked better without the cars there.

What!!! We even moved one of the cars so that the "length of rear ends" were perfectly balanced!!!! Clearly you are a not a car enthusiast Sir!

Just kidding, its was a really nice peaceful spot on a large but quiet main road and the shot captured the scene nicely. Although I disagree with your opinion, you are totally entitled to it :)
thanks for the comments on the other shots - it was a great week for practicing with the camera :)

Definitely a car enthusiast but not Civics :razz: :lol:

Just thought it was such a nice vista it didn't require any cars at all be they Civics, Ferraris or anything. :)

HUH?????? did they ever make one????????? :razz: :lol: :lol:

Playing devils advocate here ....... i like it but think the effect would have been better with 3 brightly coloured cars (green, yellow and maybe a red one too) :thinking:

Wow what a backdrop, almost looks as though it's been painted - the car's not bad either ;)

Kingy, I agree about the different coloured cars, the black does tend to blend into each other. Looks a fab place. Have you got anymore from there?

Not p1ssing on my bonfire A308 - those brightly coloured exotica are a bit crass:lol:;) Seriously though, nice pic. that village looks family, where abouts was the pic taken?

Lady Pitstop, I managed to take 770 pictures in a week so I've def got a few more, although I'm not sure you was talking to me???

very nice:thumbs: no probs from the long journey??

We did that road too :) , but very easily as there we're lots of uniforms around looking at us cruising through and one of the cars was a little noisy:nono:

Lady P, a few shots I uploaded are here (http://kingy217.fotopic.net/c1321316.html) - but none of them are anything worthy of posting . Just good memories :)
