Antique cars anyone?

 A whimsical sculpture of a semi-truck door and a metal sculpted dog in the window...among many other sculptures on the grounds around the Grovewood Gallery.

 The man who owned a car dealership in Asheville and started the car collection.

 The weaving shed turned into garage for vintage and antique cars...

There were actually 2 of these old time clocks where workers punched in and out, for various industries to support the Biltmore mansion nearby

Do you know what kind of car this is? Front view of the one shown above in side view.

My son in black, and 2 friends he went to college with in FL many years back.

But wait.  I saw an antique car parked at Lake Tomahawk the other day.  So it's road-worthy!

I am thinking that's a rumble seat on an old Model T, what do you think?

Perhaps the people pictured in this postcard drove similar cars to the amusement park...as I kind of missed the topic this week for Sepia Saturday.

Visit and seeing art of an old friend

Eckerd College buddies from the 1990s

A weekend with my youngest son, before he moves on to new places, new friends, new activities, and did I mention, much further away?  Well, he could be going further I guess, but Colorado seems pretty far from North Carolina, to me at least!

Yes, we did the tourist thing at the Grovepark Inn.

 We enjoyed the art gallery/shop...where I saw another old friend, Brad Stroman's work

I met Brad when he joined the community clay studio here in Black Mountain for a while, but he's since moved to Santa Fe NM.  I'm glad we're still Facebook friends, so I can frequently see his latest work.

I didn't take photos of all the pottery, of which there is an abundance, and it was beautiful.  Guess I was more interested in just having an eye feast.
