Dōtonbori or Dōtombori, pronounced [doːtomboɾʲi]) is one of the principal tourist destinations in Osaka, Japan, running along the Dōtonbori canal from Dōtonboribashi Bridge to Nipponbashi Bridge in the Namba district of the city's Chuo ward. Historically a theater district, it is now a popular nightlife and entertainment area characterized by its eccentric atmosphere and large illuminated signboards.

'...what can be learned from the sea? mountains provide self confidence, forest illusion of peace - and the sea? What can be found on the sea? Longing, at most. And the wind....' ― Eccentrics | W. Kowalewski
Eccentricity is the degree to which two forms fail to share a common center. In mechanical engineering, an eccentric is a circular disk solidly fixed to a rotating axle with its center offset from that of the axle (hence the word "eccentric", out of the center).
It is used most often in steam engines and used to convert rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion to drive a sliding valve or pump ram.
(This eccentric is on an operating model of a steam tractor.)

Der Alte Elbtunnel in Hamburg.
Ein riesiges Kuppeldach, drei imposante Steinportale mit Pfeilern und Giebeln: Auf den ersten Blick erinnert der Rundbau an den St. Pauli Landungsbrücken an ein Bauwerk der Antike. Doch in dem Gebäude an der Elbe verbirgt sich weder Tempel noch Kirche. Es bildet den Zugang zu einem Meisterwerk der Ingenieurbaukunst - dem Alten Elbtunnel. Zwei Treppen mit je 132 Stufen, vier hydraulisch betriebene Fahrkabinen für Fahrzeuge und zwei kleine Personenaufzüge führen 24 Meter in die Tiefe. Dort befindet sich der Eingang zu zwei hell gekachelten Röhren. Sie führen 426,5 Meter unter dem Wasser entlang nach Steinwerder auf die andere Elbseite.
Aufgenommen während des HH Flickr-Treffens im Mai 2018.
The Old Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg.
A huge dome roof, three imposing stone portals with pillars and gables: At first glance, the round building on the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken is reminiscent of an ancient building. But there is no temple or church in the building on the Elbe. It provides access to a masterpiece of engineering architecture - the Old Elbe Tunnel. Two staircases with 132 steps each, four hydraulically operated cabs for vehicles and two small passenger elevators lead 24 metres into the depth. There is the entrance to two brightly tiled tubes. They lead 426. 5 metres under the water to Steinwerder on the other side of the Elbe. Taken during the HH-Flickr-Meeting in may, 2018.

I was sitting thinking, "who doesn't love a mushroom?"
I directed my question to the one with the big hat,
But mushrooms have no tongues,
And make poor conversationalists,
I forgive them because their eccentric caps are so captivating.
Another meditative moment made fuzzy by random rumination.
Location: A psilocybin chamber in my mind.

Una delle attrazioni turistiche più curiose ed affascinanti di Vienna è la casa "Hundertwasserhaus" costruita dall'architetto e pittore austriaco Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
E' nata come casa “popolare” per 50 famiglie povere delle capitale austriaca. Per queste famiglie l’architetto ha voluto creare un ambiente che fosse come la vita, non lineare, non razionale, colorata e multiforme, qualcosa di molto diverso dallo stile classico della Vienna imperiale
Ad oggi la struttura è interamente gestita dal comune di Vienna che mette in affitto i 50 interni al prezzo di 5 euro al metro quadro. Il comune, previ controlli, verifica la reale necessità della famiglia e predilige quei nuclei in cui è presente un individuo particolarmente interessato ed attivo nel mondo artistico contemporaneo.

Z’otz* Collective: Eccentric Coincidence
Inspired by the AGB’s architectural space and the cast of characters who wander these halls, Z’otz* have introduced a new eccentric troupe of creatures onto the scene with their expansive mural installation. The artist collective works spontaneously and intuitively, using mixed media and clay to explore their subconscious through drawings and sculpture. Their vivid storytelling explores themes of memory and Mesoamerican mythology through humour and collective action.
The Plymouth XNR is a concept car developed by Chrysler. It was designed by Virgil Exner, and first shown in 1960. Also called the XNR 500, the car is an open roadster with some asymmetric features, and was proposed as a sporty addition to the Plymouth model lineup, and as competition for the Chevrolet Corvette.
History
Automobile designer Virgil Exner left Studebaker to join Chrysler in 1949. Chrysler's previous designers favored conservative, upright body styles, but sales were declining. At Chrysler, one of his first challenges was to wrest final say over design away from the engineering department.
Exner commissioned a range of concept cars that were built in Italy by Carrozzeria Ghia. Among these were several sporty, open-top, two-seat cars, including three out of four of the cars in the Dodge Firearrow series, and the Chrysler Falcon. These studies were Chrysler's answer to the Ford Thunderbird and Chevrolet Corvette.
The XNR went through several name changes during development. Some early drawings label it the "Falcon".[8]: 120 This was also the development name of the car that became the production Valiant, until Ford registered it for their own new compact. Later the car was called the Asymmetrica, and later still renamed "XNR", a disemboweled, pseudo-acronym of the designer's own last name.
The shape of the XNR was influenced by a Studebaker Indianapolis race car that Exner owned, as well as by the later asymmetrical Watson Indy Roadster, and the Jaguar D-Type.
As originally built, the car reached a speed of 146 mph (235 km/h) on Chrysler's test track. Exner is said to have personally driven the car on the track at speeds up to 142 mph (229 km/h). Later, after being fitted with a fiberglass nosecone fabricated by Dick Burke and receiving additional engine modifications, the car reached a top speed of 153 mph!

Personally, I think the car is rather bizarre looking, and the production Plymouth Valiant that followed it was a bit more conservative, but, IMO, still rather bizarre looking.
I’m having Flickr troubles (technical), so I’m not sure if you can see this, but I will try again...
I took a photo of this eccentric place from across the street. There was traffic zipping by, so I decided to try a long exposure. In my mind (because of the ship and sailboat) this kind of goes with the previous tall ship series. :)

Xezu was known for his eccentric experiments and strange creations, but his latest endeavor was by far his most unusual. He had concocted a potion that promised to make its user so stunningly beautiful or handsome that no one would be able to gaze upon them for more than a second.
One day, as Xezu was working with the potion, he accidentally spilled some of it into a nearby river. The river flowed into a small village, and soon, all of the villagers who drank from it were transformed by the potion's power.
At first, they were pleased with their newfound beauty and charm, but it quickly became a burden as they found that they could not go anywhere without causing a commotion. People would either freeze in panic and wonder or hide their heads, unable to even speak with the villagers.
As the days passed, the situation only grew worse. The villagers became isolated, unable to form meaningful connections with anyone. They could not go to work or attend to their daily tasks without causing chaos, and nothing worked as it did before.
Xezu, upon realizing the extent of the damage he had caused, felt immense guilt and set out to find a cure. He worked tirelessly, experimenting with different ingredients and methods until he finally succeeded in creating an antidote. He hurried to the village and administered the cure to all the affected villagers. Each person instantly became so ugly that no-one could bear to gaze upon them for more than one second.
