 Yea I know, he is shooting his van again!
What can I say...I love this van. I was happy how dramatic the sky turned out. The shot was taken as low to the ground and as close to the vehicle as possible in order to enhance the wide angle.

This is my pride and joy next to my darling wife and kids of course :)

Hope this does well

Simple, yet striking. Nice job and effective use of the wide angle.

The only thing I dislike about this shot is that the ominous sky seems to be in total conflict with "peace and love." I wish there was a happy, blue sky in the background.

:-) Your title and photo make me smile. Very nice and well kept van. I like the overcast sky, but that bit of blue sky refelction on the van seems out of place (even though that appears to be a break in the storm).

Brings back memories... I owned a total of 10 VW vans over the years...

Great photo. The Machine seems to be smiling at me as if we shared a scary experience that ended in strong feelings of family love; honest, it really does!!

Nice machine! Very crisp shot with great detail. Can't help feeling that somwhere there's a better perspective that could have made this shot a bit more dynamic.

Wow, brings me back in time. Nice picture. Love the dark clouds behind it with the peace sign in front.

Far out, Man. It's like, you know, a flashback to the good old days. Peace.

Where's the guitar-playing hippy?.. I think the clouds in the background set this off nicely.

Although I really don't like the "peace" era in hour history, I think this is very good for the challenge. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a "better" looking road. 9

Love the vanagon. It conjures up thoughts of Woodstock. Yours is in pristine condition though. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
