Amazing photo's
Is it me or do the pictures look like paintings?
What a awesome site Phil ! a bikers heaven . Wow . Thanks for sharing it :-)
Chevy it is a photo Phil may have sharpened it up he is very good at photo repair but no it's not a painting I am sure :-) He has done some work on my old photo's and they look amazing when he is done . I can't say he did or didn't sharpen the color on this but anyway LOL I will cut myself off before tornado siren goes off here :-)
Thanks everyone, for the love !!~ I did heighten the colour and I do HDR photos also. But this one I did not paint, although most of my photos are done in black and white and then I paint them. Have always done them that way. Thanks Manikin for the explanation, I appreciate it !!~
Your welcome Phil , and I might add you always have great photo's to share !!
Wow, I know the building, allways wondered how many Bikes they had in there. too bad they can't save that building.
I just can't believe this is a photo, yet there are so many details how could it not be. Any way..... What a tragicly beautiful site!!
Is there anymore information? How many bikes and what kinds exactly? I am desperately looking to find a brother or sister to my Mistress. (see my post at:
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/48318-1984-harley-davidson-electra-glide-speci?in=user)
Please send more info and pictures.
Looks like a masochist's biker mechanic's dream!
With my bad eyesight I see mostly Japanese bikes of the 70's and 80's. As much as I love them, I really don't like this barn because I want to rescue them all and that's just too overwhelming.
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, Phil!
Thank you Manikin for the love.
