Bicycle Trifle

By Fefe
Something totally different today, we went to the Oil Can Café in Holmfirth for the first time recently.
Basically its a café with a small museum of vintage cars and motor memorabilia, very nice too.
Cars are not really my thing but I do like to look at vintage cars and I like to photograph them, I was actually more interested in the reflections, this is a car bonnet with the skylight reflections coming from the roof which had bicycles hanging off it. Virtually full frame, not cropped, just rotated a touch to make it straight. This was actually my favourite car there, and it was for sale with a very hefty price tag.

The title will become clear when I upload some others in colour at a later date 😉
I hope you like it.


Massive thank you to everyone for recent responses to my uploads, really appreciated!

Well I think it's a great title without it becoming clear, Diane. Wink

And do they have a licensed room called; The Cross Bar ? (Or would that be sexist?) Smile

That's what I'd be looking for too Diane. This is wonderful. It even has a musical feel to it.

Looks as if we are looking up at a balcony where Juliet should be, waiting for her Romeo...

Wonderful to see those reflections, Diane, and I think the car is a rare Rolls Canardly, It rolls down one side of the hill and can ‘ardly get up the other side 😀 Ba boom! I’ll just get me coat 😀. And looks rather like Freddie Mercury just left of centre, riding his bicycle. You sure find the unusual to photograph, love it!

Dave 🙂
