Airshow in Cocoa Beach 2010

A small collage of impressions from the recent Airshow 2010 in Cocoa Beach, Florida

(click in the picture to see it bigger)

Organizers estimated Saturday's air show attendance at 100,000 and Sunday's crowd at 60,000. 

That's more than twice the estimated turnout of last October's inaugural event.

Hi my friends,

Thank you all for the wonderful comments to my "Wordless Sunday" post. I'm happy you liked it that much.

We had a very noisy Weekend with this giant airshow going on over Cocoa Beach. 

They flew so close and so loud over all the houses so that I'm sure, all the windows were shaking.
And it was also hurting my ears.

But it was big fun and very impressive to see those "Thunderbirds" (and other airplanes like the F-16 Jet fighters and smaller "Bumble-Bee's") flying their risky formations. They flew so close over the water - dusting up everybody at the beach with sand and colored smoke. 

There was also one women pilot flying - would YOU do that job...????  :))

I wish you all a wonderful week!

This weekend is the "Branson Collector Car Auction" in the Conventions Center in Branson, MO - and I was there with my camera!

If you've been having a problem finding any cars worthy of adding to your car collection, then the Branson Collector Car Auction is certainly an event you should check out. Held at the Branson Convention Center, this semi-annual auction showcases some of the most elusive and unique cars in all of the midwest area. Alfa Romeos, Cadillacs, Impalas, corvettes, Ford "T" Buckets, Mustangs and Shelby Mustang GTs are just a small sample of what has been offered at previous auctions. Trucks, motorcycles and even the occasional high end golf cart will all find their way into the auction every now and then as well!

I hope you'll enjoy "my version" of capturing all those beautiful old cars!

Hi my friends,

I LOVE to see old cars - and more I do love to photograph them! It was a joy and big pleasure to see them yesterday and today. We spent almost 3 hours there and watched the guys bringing them in and driving them out of the auction room.

Oh, by the way....thanks for all your nice comments to my last post. :)

Stay with me and see you later!
Susanne and David
