Car Photo(s) of the Day: a Two-fer.

Rainy Day E-type

The Annual Rain Festival (October-May) has returned to the Pacific Northwet. As such I doubt I’ll be driving the Jaguar much over the next several months. Oh well. The above shot was taken actually far from the Pacific. It is Frank Filangeri’s (I hope I spelled that right) S1 E-type OTS. Taken on the very wet New England 2000 Vintage Rally over eight years ago. My how time flies.

Just so that all that grey doesn’t get you SAD I’ve got a sunshine shot that can provide us with a little guessing game:

Lovely seaside, or lakeside, road?

I love this shot and love this spot. It evokes memories of places in England for me. So where is it? As many of you know, this car has driven many places all over this country. East coast, west coast, and all the way across. Is that the sea, or is it a lake? It could even be a big river or a reservoir! Could be Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Nova Scotia, Ohio, British Columbia, California, Idaho, Alberta, Montana, Washington, Oregon… or could it be someplace in between?

Take a guess of where this road might be located in the comments.

John got it: Ebeys Landing Road on Whidbey Island. Very close to home… due west of my house by a short distance as the crow flies (and the crows do fly around here!) but a bit of a drive. Worth it though.

Thanks for playing everyone!

  1. That looks similar to the stretch of Pacifica I drove a couple years ago when traveling to a B&B in Mendocino. So northern coastal CA is my guess.

  2. Here’s a COMPLETELY SWAG: Calm water = embayment. Since I’m not terribly in touch w/bodies of water (typical native Coloradan) I’ll guess summweres around Monterey Bay.

  3. Correct coast, wrong latitude guys.

    The body of water on the left has a name that starts with the letter “A”, and is part of a larger body of water that starts with a “P”.

    Roger should know exactly where this photo was taken.
