VW Camper

This is an orange 1970s Volkswagen Westphalia camper van, parked on our street. It's in beautiful condition inside. Sticker on the back says "Save Tibet."

While there was almost no one on the street today while I was out on my balcony drawing, a guy went by on a bike, and asked me if I knew the owner of it. "No I don't," I replied.

Another one of those lovely fall days. The trees have not yet let go of their leaves in front of here, though the maples are very bright red.

There seem to be lots of Volkswagen vans in this neighbourhood, or else, they seem to stand out. While they were discontinued because they are not safe (nothing in front except your knees to stop a collision. Also, very top-heavy), they were well-designed to go travelling in. When I lived with my family in Calgary, we had a wonderful summer trip down the west coast, all the way to Los Angeles, in our fire-engine yellow camper van.
