I Really Wanted That Raspberry

My videographer friend Myke and I went as media to the Galway Cavendish Forest Rally this year looking to top our footage/photos from the previous year. This year we found a spot along the road that had a slow sweeping corner followed by a sharper corner (which would make for some dramatic action photos). Last year we had found a spot by a rock cliff which also sheltered us from the sun and dust (I think the wind was more in our favour last year as well) but we wanted something different this time.

The Rally is held in a quarry in Catchacoma which is on the outskirts of the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park so it is rather scenic. Dense forest and plenty of delicious raspberries and blackberries litter the edge of the forest. If I had to pick my favourite fruit, I think I would say Blueberries, but Raspberries are a close second, so I always made the time to stop along the way and stop to smell the roses, eat as many raspberries as I could. The problem with having cars go by at 100KM an hour in this environment is that they kick up a fair bit of dust.

How much dust did they kick up? Here's a photo after one of the first cars passed Myke...

Which needless to say, kept me from my snack attack.

You can see photos of the rally over in my store.

Evan, you never said, just how was that raspberry?
Probably tasted much better with the dust on it, right?
