Default Beautiful scenery, beautiful C7s, doesn’t get much better!

Some of you have great photos of your C7s against beautiful and interesting scenic backgrounds.

I’ve been looking for some time for just the right background to shoot my GS convertible.

My problem isn’t so much a lack of possibilities, however having far too many to choose from.

I live outside Richmond Va, with all the old historic buildings and where the James River runs right through the middle and all the opportunities that presents. I’m less than a two hour drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Atlantic Ocean, the Nation’s Capital then there’s Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown within an hour’s drive. So anyway, even though there’s literally dozens of great places, none really better than another, I will figure it out.

So, those of you with the beautiful/interesting scenic C7 photos, please post them up for all to see. The only rule is that the photos have to be taken outdoors, no garage photos. So guys get your garage queens out and take some photos.

I’m going to start it out, with Rebel Yell’s Stingray at one of Route 66’s many iconic spots. I hope he doesn’t mine my posting it.

And as always, thank you in advance for your views and participation.

Great idea Kevin, I enjoy pictures of this nature. And, you are welcome to use mine anytime. But, you must get out there, enjoy that beauty you have, and take some pics along the way.

Kinda off the topic but the "good company" comment made me think of one more.
