Same model, from the bottom. A downward spiral doesn't have to be ugly -- just the default setting, probably.
"The Porsche 911 (pronounced Nine Eleven or in German: Neunelfer) is a two-door, 2+2 high performance rear-engined sports car. Introduced in September 1964 by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a rear-mounted flat-six engine and all round independent suspension. It has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained unchanged. The engines were air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998, with the 993, produced from 1994–1998 model years, being the last of the air-cooled Porsche sports cars.
The 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying, and other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful competition cars. In the mid-1970s, the naturally aspirated 911 Carrera RSR won major world championship sports car races, such as Targa Florio and 24 Hours of Daytona, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 turbo also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979 and Porsche won World Championship for Makes titles in 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979 with 911-derived models.
In the 1999 international poll to determine the Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003), and was until 1998 a successful surviving application of the air- (now water-) cooled opposed rear-engine layout pioneered by its ancestor, the Porsche 356. It is one of the oldest sports coupé nameplates still in production with one million manufactured as of May 2017." - info from Wikipedia.
"The idea of founding AutobauAG came to the enthusiast and racing car driver Fredy Lienhard through a key experience. He guided the children of an elementary class to see his private car collection and saw the enthusiasm and joy of the children. From this experience, Fredy Lienhard has developed the idea of making her collection a museum open to the public. The renovated, high-quality plant - the old tanks factory - offers an exciting historical backdrop.
Visitors can safely approach the cars, and under the supervision of the guides, are allowed to enter many of the cars on display, taking pictures and looking under the bonnets. The museum is constantly evolving, includes over 100 vehicles, in addition to the special collection dedicated to the Sauber Formula1.
Fredy Lienhard, well-known and appreciated in the racing world, founded in 1968 Lista Racing racing in many categories (Formula 2, Can-Am, IMSA, 24 Hours of Daytona, etc) active until 2008.
His company LISTA produces drawer systems and other furnishing components for offices and mechanical workshops, and nowadays almost all car manufacturers use these equipment, including the various Formula 1 stables such as Ferrari, McLaren and Sauber." - info from Automotive Museums.
During the summer of 2018 I went on my first ever cycling tour. On my own I cycled from Strasbourg, France to Geneva, Switzerland passing through the major cities of Switzerland. In total I cycled 1,185 km over the course of 16 days and took more than 8,000 photos.

The topic for Macro Mondays is Nine., and this is a shot I took of nine rings of a wood screw, using a 105mm Micro Nikkor lens plus a stack of three extension tubes.
Petranaki arena meets mythological beasts of Asian culture.
This is my enty for round 2 of the Imperium der Steine MOC Olympics.
The category was "The last Jedi", and the point was to mix Asian culture with Star Wars.
The story:
"Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé have been captured, and are being presented as offerings to the animal Spirits of the forests of Geonosis. The Petranaki temple was built in honour of these Spirits, and used to be a place of worship. These Spirits used to be peaceful and would only punish the sinful, but with the raging wars of this era, powerful practicioners of the Force have managed to get the once peaceful creatures under their control, and is using them as a tool against their enemies."
For this round I am facing off against markus1984 who buit this for his entry.

Posted specifically for Macro Mondays "9" theme.
Taken in the year 2000 with a Coolpix 950. Originally titled "The Number 9." It seemed appropriate to pull it from the archives. :)
If I had more time or clothespins handy, I would have done a similar shot with the D810 and posted that one [for this week's theme] as well.
Happy Macro Monday!
The Nine-Dragon Wall is a spirit wall with images of nine different dragons, and is found in imperial Chinese palaces and gardens. Number nine is special in China as it is the largest possible single digit, and Chinese dragons are frequently associated.
When a friend and colleague, upon being celebrated for her retirement after many years of good works, exclaimed, "I won't be joining no choir. And I won't become a birder!" I stayed quiet.
As much as I might have liked singing before the age of twelve, sixty years later I don't think I'd be much into it.
But I was already becoming a birder.
And I've continued. I started a Kitchen-Window Bird List a year or two ago and every day I look out the window thinking there may be another to add to the List.
This morning, in my eighth year of retirement, and in my growing birderocity ("dotage" you ask?) (and still no choir), I saw a new bird, bringing that Kitchen-Window List to 49.
I wasn't sure what it was, and it stayed well under a minute so I only barely got a photo. But I did get a rough one -- and sufficient for Better-Birders-Than-I to corroborate my guess: a Pine warbler.
Must be difficult keeping track of radio traffic if there are 9 radios associated with those antennas! (Las Vegas Metro Police Unit)
Nine is a Pullip Zuora. She arrived at the same time as Caine way back in 2008. She also has a Liv body even though it is super flop city.
This week Oliver Richards is taking our much loved drone out to film the building of these new apartments in London! He also took some Go Pros to capture a time-lapse of the buildings going up and adding to the London skyline.
The office is seeming very empty with so many people out on jobs this week; Craig and Chris are in France to film the final stages of the F1 opener that we are all so excited about. After seeing a sneak peak late last week, we can definitely say you don’t want to miss it!
Here is a shot captured by Ollie showing off the soon to be view of the new apartments.
