Toys for boys

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 27 May 2009 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

Jacqui and I will be away for a couple of days, and we don't know whether we will have internet access, so I am pre-posting images for today, tomorrow, and Friday.
On our way back from lunch last Friday, we saw two guys playing with their radio-controlled cars on the beach. Can these things move?!!! I asked whether they minded me taking a few shots, and they actually put on a show for me (just with the one car, though). This thing hurtled along the beach, throwing up sand as it took off and went into sharp corners. This is my favourite of all the shots I took on the day. I have inserted a small image of the two guys plus the car so that you can get some perspective of size - the one on the left is about 6 feet tall).

All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
