57 Chev Bel Air

I was 5 yrs. old when this car came off the GM line in my home town Oshawa. A true classic with art deco style, futuristic curves and rocket age ornaments on the hood. When you're that young, those fins ...are right in your face! How could I forget the polished chrome, sleek finish and of course the baby blue. The raindrops reminded me of those occasional wet family sundays when we played on the street and in parking lots hiding behind cars(not many cars then)...a time to reflect upon. Over 50 years later at the September 2010 Auto flea market in Barrie ...reflecting on the past by means of a 57 chev reminding me of my childhood, where those moments in life seem to last forever and time stands still. (when your 5 yrs. old). The trick is to live like that all the time. Speaking of time, this is an hdr image with 3 - 1 stop bracketed images reflecting a light gray sky after a rain.
