2012 Kool Deadwood Nites - Part II

Kool Deadwood Nites brings a blast from the past into the town of Deadwood, SD at the end of each summer, as we explained in Part I of this series.  Where else can you see a thousand classic cars from around the country AND have a little fun in the old style saloons & gambling halls?!

This year, we took the macro lens out, and took a view of the cool cars from another perspective. We hope you enjoy the second part of this series!

We hope you enjoyed the photographs from 2012 Kool Deadwood Nites and hope you took the time to look through Part I earlier this week.  We encourage you to leave a comment if you've been to Kool Deadwood Nites before and even links to photographs you may have taken. 

And while you are at it, join us on Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ , Twitter, or sneak a peek at our photography on Dakota Visions Photography, LLC.  Until next time, we'll see you behind the lens...
