As a side note, why can I never take pictures outside without the damn sky turning out pure white? Apparently either my camera sucks or I do. Or both.
1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero Concerpt by Bertone
Regarded by many as the most futuristic automobile of its day, the Betone-designed Lancia Stratos Zero embodied the boldly angular profile that would eventually come to define virtually all ultra-high-performance cars. Because the one-of-a-kind concept car was too low to use conventional doors, passengers entered by opening the windshield, which was hinged at the top edge. As with most other series-built adaptations of extreme concept cars, the production Lancia Stratos prototype bore little resemblance to the fully functional concept car.

Following a good Saturday morning perusing the Stoddard L.A. Porsche Literature and Toy Meet, we hit the buses again for the day's first stop at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A.
Before our vault tour in the basement (no photos allowed), I had 30 minutes to visit all three above-ground levels of the museum. If these pics look a little rushed, they were. I clicked about 130 shots.
When I visted Petersen in 2018 with Kristina, we spent about an hour on each floor. But the exhibits were much stronger then - three major ones - Porsche, Ferrari, and vintage motorcycles and scooters. All were awesome.
A walk along to a new shopping centre in the City of London was interesting. More for the architecture than the standard chain of shops inside.

The steep walls of this unnamed crater allow the ejecta material to travel further as a ground hugging flow, than if it had landed on a flat surface. At the distal edges of these ejecta deposits we see angular flow features, likely formed by locally accelerated flow conditions due to steep slopes. Unlike the flat and smooth mare surfaces, the slope-rich bumpy highlands create various flow conditions, which result in distinctive morphologies that help lunar scientists understand resurfacing processes on the Moon. Especially the importance of ground hugging flows.

I do not know if the title of this image makes sense, but that is how I felt when standing next to the Bloch Building at the Nelson Atkins. Every way you walked, your eye would be presented with another combination of angles. Crouching lower or moving in closer all made a difference in perspective. The reflection in the window was what really struck my eye in this image. I have a collection of images just from this side of the building that I may share in the near future.
