Here are a few more shots from the cruiser meet. The first photo shows Rebecka, Teddy and Madde, three of the people that I met and asked to pose for a portrait.

If you are wondering about Rebecka's tattoo, I believe that it depicts Hylonome who was a Kentauride (a female Centaur). The...

It's connected with the famous Appalachin Trail--a hiking trail that goes from Vermont to Tennessee. In the 70's, dad used to drive us to the top of Mount Greylock for picnics--and the view. They had a stone lodge on the peak,...

As a young man, he served as Zbigniew Herbert’s...

1956 Ford Crown Victoria The first "Crown Victoria" appeared in 1955; it was a 2-door 6-seater coupe, part of the Ford Fairlane range, that differed from the regular Victoria model (named after a type of carriage) by having a stainless steel band that 'crowned' the roofline, passing right over the car, as an extension of the B-pillar line. The model was produced in 1955 and 1956. One version...
