[Ducati] Cavallino Ferrari Meet Palm Beach (NDC)

[Harlyn Jenkins]

I spent the weekend driving a 512, a 348 and an F40 - of course, it was in
Seattle, not in Florida :)

Thanks Kath, sorry you missed it, would have been a nice surprise to see
you there. For what it's worth, they do this every year - Friday is the
Ferrari Challenge and lots of Ferrari only racing and track time.  Pretty
normal to see "real" GTO's dicing in a pack. Hard not to think how darn
priceless they are  when they some sliding by like that.  Saturday they do a
concours on the lawn at the Breakers. It seems to get better every year from
a content standpoint. The combination of the weather and the long standing
quality of the event makes it hard to miss if you have a Ferrari so the cars
that turn up are spectacular.  Finally on Sunday there's another concours
that allows other makes and models so that's a nice day as well.  Anybody
can go, it's a $50  ticket for Sat at the Breakers but that's what these
events cost now - I saw the prices last year for the Monterey stuff and
about fainted, rock concert prices, made this one look cheap now that I
think about it. Anyway it's worth a quick  trip out of the cold for. West
Palm Beach airport has some great cheap fares and  there's lots of hotel
deals if you look for them.
As for my lens, it's an 18-200 Nikon, nothing added.  I also have a  Tokina
I like for the wide angle stuff.  It's probably the subjects -  automotive
supermodels basically...

Damn, I  can't believe it...we're in Palm Beach (well, Delray Beach, a town
or two south) now for a wedding....could have gone and didn't  
even  know...I can't believe it!  Well we're going to take a drive up   
this afternoon before we fly home, perhaps we'll catch a few   
stragglers...

p.s.  great shots Vicki, have to  take a closer look, but your lens seems to
resolve really  well...also, you using a polarizer?
