Today is the longest day, the summer solstice.
I took this photo back in the mid 70s, when I parked my car by Stonehenge just off the A303 while travelling between Newquay and West London.
It is a scanned 35ml slide taken with a Russian manual SLR camera. I decided not to clean it up but just leave it as it was when scanned.
It looks like a motoring article photo from Mayfair!
ReplyDeleteVery classy!
Love the A303! I used to travel down it a lot to visit my girlfriend in Somerset!
My, and my wife's, family is in Newquay but we live in London and regions so I can drive the a303 in my sleep. For te benefit of American readers the 303 is the Road to the Sun - linking London to the far south west.
DeleteGreat picture and, yes; very evocative of the 70s ;)
ReplyDeleteYou could drive right up to the stones and walk amongst them in those innocent days.
DeleteHmmm... Mark 3?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, a Spitfire MkIII. In my opinion the marque peaked with the III, the later IVs and Vs had too big and heavy an engine and lacked the cool rounded lines.
DeleteNice car...pity about that unsightly pile of rocks in the background!...Zenith? I had three, they were good little cameras...
ReplyDeleteH
I dunno, 5,000 years and almost as many administrations and they still haven't cleared up the builders' rubble.
