Back in Canada

Filed under: General — @ 4:34 am

No pictures this time, I arrived back in Canada a few days ago and have been too busy spending time with my cute little grandson David and his Mom and Dad, calling friends and family and generally settling back in.  I’ll be back with some new pictures in a few days.

Peking to Paris Rally continues

One of the Pioneer Class cars, a 1903 Mercedes starting the next leg of the rally in Ulaanbaatar. This image begged to be given some special effects, so I sepia toned it in Photoshop.

Click here to link to more pictures, some taken on the Rest Day, which was really a repair day, and lots from the start yesterday.

Peking to Paris Rally arrives in Ulaanbaatar

Filed under: Mongolia, General, China — @ 2:10 am

Yesterday the competitors in the 100 year re-enactment of the Peking to Paris Rally arrived in UB, after encountering many hardships crossing the Gobi Desert.  Ray saw these 2 cars refuelling and stopped to have a look.  The red car is a 1924 Itala 51B, the burgundy one is a 1928 Chevrolet AB Roadster.  Today is a rest day for the rally and we will be going to have a look at the cars, and tomorrow morning we hope to watch the start of the next leg. For further information on the rally check out the web site at: http://www.pekingparis.com/index.html
