Grandmother visiting our farm back in 1964. From left my mother's half-brother Villum Jensen, my grandmother Magdalene Jensen, my mother Lily Hansen, my sister Lene and myself with the cat Pjevs. Our uncle lived in Motala, Sweden, but had been visiting grandmother in Klokkerholm, Jutland and then drove her all the way over here in his Volvo 544. Magdalene was actually our mother's stepmother, but a very sweet and kind old lady. Sweden still had left-hand traffic back then, so the Volvo was a weird sight with it's steering wheel in the "wrong" side.

2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.

This is one of my favorite shots, thought I would publish it in b/w, it takes on a whole new character when the late afternoon sunlight is cut from the shot. Bulldogging or Steer Wrestling no matter what you call it, it is a fast pace sport.

Thanks for viewing.
Our neighbor Big Max is always friendly, curious and gentle as a lamb. . .he is a crossbred Highland steer, his ancestors originally from Scotland. [we had to clean the lens after this photo]
A perfect shot showing the haywire traffic on the roads of Delhi where vehicles move carelessly and randomly with little care for rules. Always attentive for anything from any direction.

While on RAGBRAI, the massive bicycle ride across Iowa, I had the opportunity to pose on Bufford, the largest steer in the midwest.
The steering wheels were rigid and mounted on non-collapsible steering columns. This arrangement increased the risk of impaling the driver in case of a severe crash. The first collapsible steering column was invented in 1934 but was never successfully marketed. By 1956, Ford came out with a safety steering wheel that was set high above the post with spokes that would flex, but the column was still rigid.
Back in the day, the sixties, it was a chore to turn the wheel of a car until power steering came into vogue. Then you could steer a car effortlessly with one finger tip. At some time the auto industry must have realized that this power steering was a bit too effortless so steering wheels changed from power steering to power assisted steering.
I've positively identified this as a Ford Fairlane Sunliner. I'm guessing around 1957.

I hope an orbital socket would be an interpretation of the theme.
Very old skull of a range steer. Out in the Mojave desert.
This beautiful boy was munching on grass during the last bit of golden hour down the road from where I live and I was finally able to take his photo. For those of you who are wondering why cattle is called by various names, I have included a list to help.
Calf - less than 1 year old.
Heifer - a young female who has never calved
Cow - a female who has calved
Bull - an intact male
Steer - a castrated male

Longhorn steer, a familiar roadside sight in rural Texas. These cattle are impressive in stature and bearing, but are actually docile and relatively shy of strangers.
