merveilleux souvenir des années 60 - twist à gogo !
c'est une voiture mythique que la cadillac.
Ta compo est superbe en montrant l'arrière si spécifique de cette voiture, en plus bleu sur bleu - super !

Bonjour, Denis...
and what wonderful shades of blue they are. Beautifully clear, excellent sharpness and detail, very well composed and cropped and I love the white trees with their spring leaves. Outstanding shot! Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Bonsoir Denis,

La prise de vue permet d'admirer cette Cadillac bleue 1965. Les arbres cadrent bien la voiture. L'image est claire et nette. Le bleu du ciel fait un bon contraste avec le bleu de l'auto. Bonne soirée.

Hi Denis!

Beautiful photo, unusual subject! Very impressive car, the "mythical" Cadillac, and what a colour, almost identical with the colour of the sky! Simple but excellent composition, great tight framing, and flawless light managment! Congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Denis,
Another one to your impressive collection of old cars in the countryside, glamorous despite their not so good state. The title is very appropriate, the painting of the car matches the sky, but the green of Spring also contributes to the beauty of the photo.
Regards,
José

Allô Denis!
Cette fois-ci tu nous a déniché une vieille Cadillac, à la voir le long du chemin on peut penser qu'elle est tombée en panne à cet endroit et qu'on l'a laissée là. De toute façon elle est encore jolie et bien présentée dans ce décor de printemps.
Félicitations!... et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Salut bien Denis

Et dire que j`avais 1 ans quand elle était neuve. Bleu sur bleu avec ses mags bien chromés. La rouille commence a le grugé. Super détails des bouleaux.

Hello, Denis!

Wonderful car! I love these old cars, much more beautiful than the ones we have nowadays. The same colors of the car and of the sky give an interesting effect to your picture! Great job!

Bonsoir Denis,
Interesting match between the car and the sky, but for me, the real star of the show is the delicate detail of newly leafing trees. That car has seen some salt!!

Hi Denis,
As you mentioned in your note I don't recall seeing many old caddys in blue.
This one makes a striking contrast to the green of the spring time setting.
Love how you catch its handsome profile in this warm light that brings out the lingering shine to its chrome wheels.
Regards, Tom

Privet, Denis,
Excellent photo! Superb colours! Impressive oldtimer, but always I thought, how many petrol need for it?
Ok,the oil price was so low in 1960th, and today?

Hello Denis, When I looked at the thumbnail I recognised this as being an old Cady, built long before the fuel crisis, I also noticed it is LHD, must be American made, were they ever built in Canada? One either loves or hate these "Yank Tanks" as they were once known in Australia.
Nice shot with good natural looking colour $ excellent clarity.
Thanks
Take care
Santo

Hello Denis,

It is amazing to see those old cars, and comparing with modern vehicles!
And I'm not thinking so much of the design as the philosophy behind building cars...
This was quite an eye-catcher in it's time, some will probably say it still is..!
Good documentary of the 60ties way of car design -

Greetings,
Pablo -
