Hi-Risers are a type of highly customized automobile, typically a traditional, full-size, body on frame, V8 powered, rear wheel drive American-built sedan modified by significantly increasing the ground clearance and adding large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires. Depending on the model and style of body, autos customized in this manner can be labeled "donk," "box," or "bubble." Hi-risers originally grew out of the Dirty South subculture, but the trend has spread across the United States. Vehicles customized in the hi-riser style are distinguished by their oversized (even disproportionate) wheels, ranging from 20 inches to 30 inches or more in diameter (largest being 50 inch), as well as fanciful custom paint-jobs and expensive audio equipment. Suspension modifications similar to those employed on lifted pickup trucks are made to give adequate clearance for the large wheels. Often the suspension is modified so the front end sits slightly higher than the rear end, giving the car a swaggering appearance. Because of the exaggerated look gained from installing a lifted suspension and enormous wheels, donks are also known as "hi-risers" or "sky-scrapers."

Donk Cars are also referred to as Hi-risers, Box cars or Bubble Cars and are basically a type of customized vehicle that has been significantly altered to increase ground clearance. This is usually achieved by installing extremely large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires. Donk Cars originally grew from the South American culture and over the years has spread to the rest of the United States and other countries. Vehicles customized in the hi-riser style are distinguished by their over sized wheels, which are quite often between 22 to 30 inches and on some occasions even bigger. These Donk cars are usually fully customized with fanciful paint-jobs and expensive audio equipment too. Suspension modifications similar to those employed on lifted pickup trucks are made to give adequate clearance for the large wheels. Often the suspension is modified so the front end sits slightly higher than the rear end, giving the car a swaggering appearance. Because of the exaggerated look gained from installing a lifted suspension and enormous wheels, donks are also known as “sky-scrapers.”

▶ The tallest building in the background is Truist Plaza (formerly called SunTrust Plaza and, before that, One Peachtree Center). At 869 feet (265 m) and 60 stories, it's the 2nd-tallest skyscraper in Atlanta and 55th-tallest in the U.S.
▶ Photographer's note.
I originally processed this image in its native 4x3 format. But, after posting it to Instagram, I saw that a square format was preferable...and, so, amended it here.

I've just been to Barcelona ( no bragging here, I went for work ). Anyway, there are lots of cool skyscrapers being built and it kind of inspired me to build my own microscale version.
maybe more to come if I can face building a whole neighbourhood

Happy Mother's Day to mums everywhere, old, young, Grandmas, mums to fur babies, any nurturer at all, and also single Dads raising their kids. Did I miss anyone?
Does anyone have scraper issues? I had the perfect one but eventually it wore out (it was +20 years old) and now I can't find a replacement. They are too stiff, or too bendy, too wide, or not wide enough, handle not long enough or uncomfortable, not suitable for the dishwasher etc. I hope this one proves to be the elusive perfect scraper!
Today I went to the movies with hubby and kids. It isn't often we can all go together. We had popcorn and M&Ms for lunch and Captain America is quite pretty.
My son made this cupcake for me at school, it came in a hand decorated box, and my daughter made me a beautiful card with a very thoughtful message.
It's been a good day. Sad remembering my mum, but good knowing that her kindness lives on in my children.

Seen on a building in Lichfield which is believed to be 17th century although some of the stonework appears to be much older.
the Chrysler Building as reflected in the Grand Hyatt New York.
this would be a better shot in Summer, when the sun's higher in the sky.
but as i've paraphrased before, "you take your picture with the positional light you have,
not the positional light you might want or wish to have at a later time."

Running about 25 minutes down - perhaps the crew had to stop and put the ice scrapers to the 902's windshield! - VIA 50 speeds eastward under the Beaconsfield footbridge.
