Nearing the End of the Day on Car Free Sunday



Lots going on: music, food, entertainment but I didn't get to most of it. Day was sunny until dusk then clouded over.

Join others for (nearly) Wordless Wednesday here.

The idea is certainly growing in popularity. What I like about it besides environmental benefits, is that it seems to bring the community together.

Joyful said...

Check in your part of the world as this is an international movement.

Joyful said...

Thank you Hanne. I wish you a great Thursday!

A car free day is such a great idea. If only it would catch on.
Have a great rest of your day.

Joyful said...

Thanks everyone1 I'm glad you all enjoyed the concept. Since Car Free Day is an international event, I recommend you check out whether you have such a day in your city or town.

Good Job, Penny,
I really like the first picture with all the people, stuff, and clouds.

Joyful said...
