Since I just became the proud owner of an Audi Q4 e-tron SUV a few weeks ago, I thought it would be fun to photograph some of the more modern details.

And that's what I did.

and then took a ferry to Victoria, BC in August 2016, which is where I took the shot 'Harbour Traffic' entered in the contest. It was a marvelous train trip. My favorite shot taken from the moving train was from the club car early one morning.

I love all the colors. I love it has motion.

It also reminds me of Mr Lake’s and my song for this time in our life.
Enjoy:

The photo is nostalgic for me as well. My SO at the time was driving and we were on our way to a national forest campground. I hadn't seen a Woody on the road in many years, probably since the '60s. The car's 'face' reminds me of the characters in the Cars animated movies, hence the title. Thanks, Lake!
