Retro Taxi - Thematic Photography

I thought I would have to give this week a miss until I found this picture from c17years ago taken on a ladies holiday in Capri.

Taxi on Capri
I don't know whether the doors wouldn't close or whether the ladies got out in a hurry.

I suspect we may see other retro vehicles at Carmi's thematic-photographic-213

    Cabs are a fascinating way to travel.

    Hang on - has that taxi got a green and white striped awning, or is it in an illusion?

    I bet the doors wouldn't close!

    And you're right...I went with an old car, too. (Not as old as your cab, though.)

    @Little Nell - it's no illusion; the awning is real to protect those delicate skins.

    What a delicious party of colors and textures. I wouldn't mind going for a few rides on that beauty ;-)

    I love the awning they put on that as a roof, very "Fantasy Island" retro.

    I'd find myself praying for no rain :)

    What a delightful vehicle. Makes me wonder if we wouldn't smile just a little more if we came across more examples like this in our own lives.
