Dinky Caravan

I am home for an hour or two this afternoon in between being on duty at our annual photo club exhibition. I am back again from 5 pm to 6 pm and then we have to dismantle everything and get the photos ready for the display in our local library for 6 weeks.

The exhibition has been a great success and I think we have probably got quite a few potential new members for our club.

Thanks to everyone who have commented on my photos yesterday and I will get back to you tomorrow when I can, but as you will appreciate it is a bit hectic here at the moment.

Todays photo was taken a couple of weeks ago and I had a chat to the chap who built it. Apparently it is a replica of a 1950s one man caravan and the owner built it from scratch. It has all the essential mod cons and he has travelled around Australia with his little caravan.

The exhibition sounds exciting. What an interesting caravan that is. Can't imagine the bed being too comfortable. Nice collage Babs.

[Margaret Obey]

Mark has a love affair with these Teardrop Campers, he would love to build one but has too many other projects on the go :)

[Angela]

Someone's passion here. Glad your exhibition is going well.

What a unique looking camper

[gloria jones]

Cool shots.

[Jane Morley]

For one minute I thought it was Dave's!

[Pat Knowles]

Cute caravan...beautifully made! I saw a miniature one something like this in NZ last year , they used it for the dog.

[Peter]

Interesting collage Babs, love the caravan seems to have almost all mod cons with the exception of one !!!. great find and capture;)

[Marnie]

Lovely retro feel to that image Babs, what a great idea and well executed. Pleased to hear your exhibition went well.

[Kathie]

Guess that's all he needs...not me however. haha. Looks like he has it hitched to a vintage car.

Your exhibition sounds exciting Babs and great looking caravan, love the colour!

[Babs]

@derekvickers Thanks Derek. the bed takes up most of the inside of the caravan.

[Babs]

@hermann Thanks Sally, Mark sounds a bit like David, too many projects on the go.

[Babs]

@ceilidh @gigiflower @cljs @thistle @angelar @bkbinthecity @seattlite @pcoulson @golftragic Thanks so much. I guess he has no friends, or if he has he would have to be very friendly with them because there isn't much room inside the caravan.

[Babs]

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie, me neither, I am definitely a 4 stars and upwards kind of travelling person.

[Babs]

@chimfa Ha ha. Not enough wood for David, this is the sort of thing he would make. http://365project.org/onewing/topics/2014-10-09

[Babs]

@happypat I think this would be ideal for the dog too. Not much room inside.

@jackie8 @derekvickers @golftragic Thanks for asking about the exhibition, it was a great success. We had 120 photos in the main exhibition and 8 categories of photos, landscape, seascape, monochrome, altered reality/creative, flora, fauna, people and open. We then asked visitors to vote on their favourite photo in each category and they all enjoyed doing that. (We tally the votes tomorrow). We also had a section of 40 photos which were the winners photos on club night over the last 10 months. Also there was a digital display of members photos and the slide show went on for about an hour. We could each put photos in that and most entries were on a set theme per person. I chose monochrome and selective colouring, David did birds and some did a mixture of shots. We also had a raffle and the prize was a canvas print of a photo of their choice from the exhibition. A good time was had by all.
Now the exhibition goes to our local library with 40 photos shown each fortnight and rotating over the next 8 weeks.

Oh yeah...we see some of those on the road. I need to be able stand up and need a bathroom so this wouldn't work at this stage in our lives...but they certainly have some charm to them. Better then a tent!!
