I drove down to Watkins Glen last week and visited the old F1 track for the first time. The area is beautiful and the drive from the interstate alongside Seneca lake was lovely. I had the convertible hood of the Alfa down and got a sunburn. I was visiting some friends at the Glen andContinue reading “Porsche 914, Watkins Glen”

Granada
I have been remiss – I have allowed an excess of self-imposed projects to impede my posting here – but – I will rectify this now with this belated posting of a sketch from the Muslim quarter in Granada from May… Better late than never!
Sintra, Portugal
Another sketch from our recent travels, this one from Sintra, Portugal – a lovely area just north west of Lisbon.
Ronda, Spain
A sketch from our recent trip to Spain. This is a clock tower in the “Plaza Duquesa de parcent” in the eastern part of Ronda. Like most of my sketch subjects it had a comforting proximity to a patio that served beer… 🙂

K, L
Apologies – for the late addition of this (have been very busy) and the quality. This is a sketch – I didn’t get much further than this. I do have “M” sketched out in rough and will publish it next week. But for now, I leave you to collect the items beginning with K andContinue reading “K, L”
“J”
..and here is J…including the cars, I count 25 items – Have at it!
“I”
And “I”… I count 22 items beginning with the letter “I” in this. Have at it!
