Toy Racing Car

The story behind the image

We spent the morning at the barn playground of Pirker’s Familienpension at the Faaker See close to Villach, Austria. It’s a kids paradise: all kinds of toys – from building blocks to toy cars to dolls – on the first floor of a large barn.

Out of interest I inspected the toy cars. There was one solid plastic racer in blue and lime green that caught my eye. I put it to the battered hardwood floor with the slit between the planks acting as a starting line, and took this fun shot.

What a nice flashback into childhood. 🙂
