MY FIRST CAR by sangwann

MY FIRST CAR

Shot taken on Sunday before last, the last day of our Gozo weekend.

Ford Anglia was the first car I bought and that was in 1966 – so many years ago and it seems like it was yesterday.

The story: Sunday morning we went for a walk at Xlendi and on our way back to the car we saw a few classic cars gathered along the side walk. One of them was a Ford Anglia, impeccably kept. I took shots of it from the front and from the back and with the help of Photoshop and a lot of patience I merged one shot from the front and another from the back into one picture. The guys having a drink at the table on both sides are the same people and the car behind the Anglia – a Ford Escort – is also the same. I think the result is rather cute.
Thank you so much for looking and for your lovely comments and the fav's on yesterday's picture.

Great shot of this nice car. Mine was a Fiat 850.
The people was behind me and I waited that the two walkers was out of the capture. In fact , It amaze me the amount of people there are on a Sunday afternoon.
