Canid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland - enjoy!
Just for shits and giggles, take a pic of a large pile driver at a construction site. Turn said pic 90-degrees counterclockwise, and convert to B&W.
Still get a pretty cool image. Who says ya gotta show 'em as ya shot "em. (I once won a photo competition with a picture that had lost a few weeks prior. Brought it back, turned it upside down, et voila. First Place.)

Dieses Foto habe absolut spontan im Gehen geknipst während der Eselwagen fuhr und ich durch die belebten Souks von Marrakesch ging.Als mich das Gefährt passiert hatte,sprang der Fahrer ab und und lief mir schimpfend hinterher. Nachdem ich ihn bezahlt hatte,kehrte er übellaunig zu seinem Wagen zurück.
Ich wünsche euch einen gut gelaunten Samstag!
This photo was taken spontaneously while walking as the donkey car drove and I walked through the busy souks of Marrakech. When the vehicle had passed me, the driver jumped off and ran after me scolding. After paying him, he returned to his car in a bad manner.
I wish you a happy Saturday!

Coincidence?
I don't know who these folks are but for those fortunate enough to have an ambitious spouse willing to get out of a comfortable bed at the crack of dawn, be the back seat driver, and paddle you around Lake of Two Rivers looking for photo ops, you are indeed very blessed.
Winning the Pike's Peak race, and placing 6th at Indy, this car went to auction with $6-700,000 estimates, and actually sold for $1.1 Million! Gorgeously restored, this image is from Laguna Seca, and the owner/driver let us sit in it with the Imposing steering wheel dominating your vision.
'As early as 1929, Ab Jenkins set his sights on Indy, but it wasn't until 1931 that he took his best shot. He'd already known George Hunt, Studebaker's testing chief, from his time racing Studebakers in endurance runs in the late Twenties, and according to Gordon Eliot White's "Ab & Marvin Jenkins: The Studebaker Connection and the Mormon Meteors," Studebaker owed Jenkins for his expenses, so he cashed in that IOU in the form of off-the-shelf Studebaker Commander axles, hardware, and a Commander 337-cu.in. straight-eight engine.
He and Hunt then took the lot over to Indianapolis-based Herman Rigling, who built one of his Indy chassis around the components and slid it under a Pop Dreyer-built aluminum body. Somebody - most likely Hunt - spent the time massaging the nine-main-bearing straight-eight with a 6.5:1 compression ratio aluminum cylinder head, four Studebaker truck carburetors, a Scintilla magneto, and a reground camshaft to bump the stock engine's output from 110 to 175 horsepower.
They built the car according to the so-called "junk formula" template that Eddie Rickenbacker initiated for the 1930 Indy 500. Over the prior 20 years, the race entries had grown ever more exotic, expensive, and removed from the vehicles that carmakers offered. In an attempt to lure those carmakers back to supporting Indy, Rickenbacker increased allowable engine displacement from 91.5 cubic inches to 366 cubic inches for heavier, naturally aspirated four-stroke engine-vehicle combinations and re-instituted the riding mechanic.
Jenkins's illness forced him and Hunt to find another driver, Indy veteran Tony Gulotta, who qualified in the No. 37 car at 111 MPH. Along with riding mechanic Carl Riscigno, Gulotta turned in a spectacular performance. While they started in the middle of the pack, according to The Old Motor, Guletta was given the signal to run flat our with 80 laps to go then "passed 18 cars in the next 46 laps and was running in first place when he hit a patch of oil left over from a crash, and went into the wall ending its run." The two men walked away unscathed and Gulotta was credited with 18th place.
Hunt took the car straight back to South Bend to repair it before entering it - still wearing No. 37 - in that year's Pikes Peak hillclimb. While White makes mention of Jenkins's involvement in the car throughout this period, Pikes Peak records list the car as the Hunt Special and another driver, Chuck Myers, drove the car in the event. Myers did well too, beating out Jerry Unser and Glen Shultz with a time of 17 minutes, 10.3 seconds, good enough for an overall win and a course record.'
