A Saturday Afternoon In Downtown Raleigh


Last Saturday afternoon, on an unusually mild August day, Keith & I decided to check out  the Capitol Car Show held along Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.

I enjoy these shows. They're like an art exhibit to me...vehicles with beautifully crafted lines, gorgeous vibrant colors, a few in subdued colors, all shapes & sizes, most polished to perfection. Car restorers, car artists, hover nearby, showing their stuff, proud of their creations.

It's like an art exhibit & an antique show rolled into one.
Many spectators have fond memories of these refurbished cars--they may have owned one similar or have had a friend who had one.
Many may have dreamed of owning one.
A time to dream & admire & appreciate craftsmanship--and to enjoy being downtown.

A nice way to spend an afternoon in Raleigh:)
A little breeze now & then made it even sweeter:)
