2014 Fathers Day French/Italian Car Show in North Vancouver

First off...I was taken by surprise when I walked onto the previous site of the car show and found Philippine Days in full swing. That was a bit disorienting...but luckily I could see bright red sports cars across the way on the north field. New setup for this year.

Then it rained. Lightning and thunder over downtown Vancouver.

I worked to keep the rain off the camera lens and still get images of the few diehards that showed up in the face of threatening weather.

It became obvious after a bit that not all the cars that I usually see were here...in fact they were going to another site at the bottom of Lonsdale...the site of the old boat shops. This was as result of the city giving the original site to the Philippines Days people. When the car folks complained, the city said to move the date of the car show....Which kinda defeats the whole Fathers Day thing.

I went for lunch, and lo and behold the sun came out....so naturally I had to go back and make another pass through both sites.
