Hey!!
Frenchy French?! ;))
The sepia tones fit perfect with the retro mood. So this is the new Vespa? :)
I like the whiteness of the car. It gives it a special feel. Can't really describe why... Just the way it is.
Well done in seeing and taking the time for it!

Hi Sylvie,
Yeah, great memories. My aunt had a blue one in the 60's boy I can remember how it was to drive in such a 2 cheveaux. Excellent nostalgic picture, an artistic impression of a 'ugly duck' as it is named in the Netherlands.

Great moody image Sylvie, I love the angle and the sepia. When I looked inside the 2CV I thought I saw a clothes peg!! That wouldn't surprise me ha ha. What is the building behind? Looks like a Library? Wonderful composition, a nostalgic image indeed.
Regards
Chris

Thanks for sharing a photo of this vintage Citroen. The sepia tone does give a retro mood.

There are so many such classics ... there was a time when Citroëns were found on Calcutta ... now they can be seen only in Vintage Car Rallies. It was a beautiful car. Never rode in one though. We were too poor to even think about owning even a small locally made car. We are not that poor now, but still can't afford a car, let alone a classic.
You have got a very nostalgic image here. Sepia is perfect for this.

Bonjour Sylvie.
Han... c'est une antiquité... et qui sembles en bon état général.
C'est mieux de l'avoir mis en sépia effectivement, ca donne encore plus l'effet du vieux.
Bravo !

Bonjour Sylvie!

Atmosphère de polar bien efficace avec ce tilt. Bien vu et capté avec cet prise de vue. Pas sûr ! Le propriétaire recevras sans doute une contravention avec sa voiture garée de cette façon près d'un passage pour piétons.
Bon dimanche!

Hi, Sylvie!
Looking at this I instantly remembered one of my shots I had taken in Tongeren, Belgium a year and half ago (oh, boy, how long ago already!), have it posted here on TL as well. It's really beautiful one! The car, I mean (well, my photo and your photo as well... LOL).

Well captured, I like the mood here and sepia tones - old legendary car, old looking photo! :) And that car speeding in background - excellent!

Thanks for sharing!
