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.

The Red Bull sponsored 'Matadors' streaking into AIRbourne in their amazing Sbach300 highly-aerobatic machines.
The tri-angular shaped wing tip attachments I believe are reference equipment giving visual angle information for when flying precise championship aerobatic manoeuvres and the shovel-like curved ones below the wing are the aileron balancers used for off-setting the forces generated through the controls when pulling flick rolls and other hi-loaded aileron induced actions.
(Ailerons are the moveable surface areas at the back of each outer wing trailing edge, used to control the aircraft in the rolling mode - they oppose eachother. Elevators are on the tail plane and are used to make the aircraft go up or down - each going the same way and the rudder on the back of the fin is used to make the aircraft turn yaw left or right. A combination of aileron and rudder banks the aircraft into a turn. Flaps drop down at the back of the inboard trailing wing edge to increase the wing area and so induce lift - mainly used when taking-off or landing).

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.
