The avant-garde, streamlined design of the Tatra 87 looks rather like a fish, not least because of the large rear fin.
The three headlights are also typical of the Tatra design. The low drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.36 enabled the car with its air-cooled 3.0-litre V8 engine to attain a speed of 150 km/h. However, at that speed driving the car became dangerous – the heavy rear engine made it hard to handle.
The Austrian engineer Hans Ledwinka joined the Czech company Tatra in 1921 as technical director. He invented the ‘backbone chassis’ and was a pioneer in the area of aerodynamic design. The design of this particular Tatra dates back to the pre-war years. Ledwinka was a close colleague of Ferdinand Porsche, but when the Volkswagen Beetle was introduced, Tatra claimed that Porsche had copied their design. The court case was interrupted by the war, but Volkswagen later admitted Tatra’s influence.

It won't be long until this isn't the way home.
This has really been bothering me lately. You never realize how attached you are to a particular place until you're leaving...
In a couple of months my life will never be the same. I guess the plus side for those of you who follow my photostream is that there will probably all new locations! Yay! :D
I wish I was moving somewhere really cool and exciting though... to be honest, I don't know where I'm moving. College is a stressful thing. Especially when the colleges you want don't give the scholarships you deserve!
I fail at counting. I always forget to check what day I'm on. I originally posted this as 84|365 and it was actually 87|365. Pathetic.

I had a wait of about 45 minutes after photographing No. 130 going to Caernarfon, and in the meantime the heavens opened, with rain lashing down. I'd given up hope of getting a picture of this working in the sun - but as quickly as the rain came, it also disappeared !!

I've always wanted to try and take a photo of an eye, so I gave it a shot today. This is Max's eye! Nice, huh?

Here is a group of galaxies known as Hickson Compact Group 87 (HCG 87) in near-infrared and visible light. I combined datasets from Hubble's WFPC2 and Gemini South's GMOS to create a more complete picture of the group. The upper right corner and top and right edges, which you may notice are slightly fuzzier in appearance, come from Gemini, while the larger part of the image in the lower left comes from Hubble. The filter sets were not quite the same, but I found they blended together quite well regardless.
Despite the galaxies being apparently close together, interaction between them seems rather subtle to me, with the most obvious sign including a perturbation in the dust of the edge-on galaxy at the lower left of the image, which is called HCG 87a. This edge-on spiral is quite picturesque with its contrasting dust lane, prominent X-shaped nucleus, and blue streak of star formation.
Another member of the group, HCG 87b, is a large, bright elliptical galaxy seen to the right of HGC 87a. Striking to me about this elliptical are the numerous pinpoints surrounding it, which I assume to be a halo of globular clusters or something similar, like the cores of smaller galaxies that have long since merged with the elliptical. This leads me to conclude that HCG 87b is huge in size compared to the others, but must be more distant. Some faint, partial shells are visible in the upper right quadrant of the galaxy, hinting at some kind of interaction, perhaps an older one. Simulations have shown that shell features could form after ellipticals have taken in some smaller galaxy.
