A bronze(d) headlight of 1907 Duryea Buggyaut (yes, that is the real name of the car) in Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.
A headlight is a lamp, usually attached to the front of a vehicle such as a car, with the purpose of illuminating the road ahead during periods of low visibility, such as night or precipitation.
Kuddel's eyes are so special. Sometimes when it's getting dark, I wonder if they'll go on glowing ...

This Chevy may be abandoned, rusty and decaying but it still shows its special design and character from old.
Configuration: Mid-Engine
Engine: 400 C.I. V8 (6.6 L)
Transmission: 3 speed automatic
Original Engine: 4 rotor Wankel
Weight: 2600 lbs
The Aerovette started life as the XP-882, a mid engined Corvette, with a 6.2L Wankel rotary engine with four chambers that developed around 400hp. Under the design team of Bill Mitchell, the car was first unveiled as “The Four Rotor Corvette” during the 1970 New York Auto Show. The car featured bi-folding gull-wing doors and a clear cover showcasing the engine bay. Eventually, GM abandoned their rotary technology and replaced the four rotor with a small block Chevy V8, because they anticipated the gas crisis of the 1970s.
The Aerovette’s styling was formed through a wind tunnel to give it a streamlined form. The body of the car was constructed with fiberglass along with a steel and aluminum tubular frame. The Aerovette had an advanced rectangular headlight design that allowed the driver to see the road from further away, while remaining aerodynamic and in a low position. The Aerovette’s doors were a bi-folding gullwing
design that allowed the driver and passenger to enter and exit the vehicle quickly. The “V” design on the windshield was angled at 72° and wrapped around the doors to conceal the front pillars of the car. Glass louvers were placed on the rear quarter panel to aid with vision, and allow heat to be dispersed from the engine compartment. Cool air was channeled into the carburetors from the apertures that were located in front of the rear wheels. The engine’s radiator and air conditioning unit were mounted at the front of the car near the wheels to ensure maximum cooling and efficiency.
The technology in the Aerovette was quite advanced for the time. The interior of the car featured a telescopic steering wheel and digital display that allowed the driver to adjust it to their comfort level. The seats of the car were in a fixed position for weight distribution, but could be adjusted up and down. The driver would press a lever to move the pedals further away or closer to them. The Aerovette came with a number of safety and digital features as well. These included, a warning system that alerted the
driver if the doors were open or closed, if the seatbelts were unfastened, and front and rear energy absorbing bumpers that provided protection in car-to-car impacts up to 10 mph. A button could also be pressed to check on the fuel supply, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The dashboard of the car had small lights to indicate what rpm the engine was spinning at, and would change from green to red when the driver was approaching redline. Additionally, the car had a built in lap timer, clock, calendar, and an am/fm radio.

Caught in your Headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your Headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your Headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot

The surf here was incredible. I had planned to compose much lower, but it was impossible with the waves.

Baby, I'm all about headlights
Blinded by, blinded by headlights
Running in, running in headlights
Light me up, light me up, headlights
Baby, I'm all about headlights

Light me up, light me up, headlights
Well ... I took a close in capture with the wide angle lens here of my headlights to see what it is my head-sights ;))
An interesting set of reflections and sunset lighting in this close in urban abstract.
At 9:00 p.m. on July 2, 2016, Three Union Pacific trains make the climb over Logan Hill north of Bill, Wyoming. In the distance, with its headlights distorted by all the exhaust, is a fourth train dropping into the Antelope Creek valley. Dusk has settled over Powder River Basin this day, but as sometimes can be seen, there is still some life in the coal industry. Noticed on this visit though, the main furthest to the left in this view is (temporarily?) out-of-service due to current traffic levels.
