Antique
Wings to Fly
A close-up view of a classic, 1931 Ford Model A hood ornament with a flying wings design. The rich red color of the car and the shiny chrome detailing reflect the vintage style and craftsmanship of the automobile.
This is another tip of the hat to car lovers and car show fans. This photo was taken at the annual car show in Algoma, Wisconsin a number of years past.

Queen Monoplane
They don’t make them like this anymore. This is the Queen Monoplane – a part of early aviation history. As you can see by it’s markings, it was used to deliver mail. It is part of the historic aviation displays at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The E.A.A. museum is a very cool place to learn about the history of aviation. You’ll find historic aircraft and information from the Wright Brother’s flyer to spacecraft. They have a great Warbirds exhibit.

Time Traveler
You can’t beat a well restored antique car to keep a guy’s interest. I love the shine of the brass and the controls on the steering column. I’m convinced, if you stare into the rear-view mirror, before long, you’ll begin to see the past.
I snapped this image at the annual car show that’s held every spring in Algoma, Wisconsin. I’m not sure the make and model of this auto. I should probably take notes while I’m shooting.
