Sunday July 25 - Deuce Day
As I had been told that the cars would be arriving early,
I was up with the birds as I wanted to get as many photos
as possible before the crowds descended. As it turned
out, it was a good strategy. When I arrived at the inner
harbour (Government and Belleville Sts.) just after
6:00 a.m., the cars were starting to arrive. Designated
parking for the 32's was on Belleville in front of the
legislature and included the large semi-circular legislature
driveway. Non-32's were being parked on Government in
front of the Empress Hotel. Without spectators and the
mandatory Victoria tourists, it made the photo shoot
a breeze. It also gave me an opportunity to say hi to
the owners and get a good look at the cars. It was beautiful
morning weather wise - another perfect day.
With a bag of photos in hand, I returned to the hotel
to pick up Judy and grab some breakie. By the time
we got back downtown, it had filled out substantially
and by noon it was packed. The setting couldn't have
been better. As all the cars had arrived, we made
the rounds again.
