For every ounce of gas saved by a Toyota Pious, a gallon is wasted by the 20 cars behind it desperately attempting to pass because the typical Pious is driven by what appears to be a stoned, nearsighted geriatric who's also lost and confused and allergic to g-forces higher than .01 just to gain an extra 2 MPG. (paraphrased)

Thanks everybody. I don't take many pics of the Mini, and it's always fun to share.
I took a version of the first shot with my Lomo Fisheye camera (link to the Lomography web site so you can see what I'm talking about: http://tinyurl.com/pw78r), but that one takes film, which has to be developed, and that takes time. Should be worth the wait, though. I had gone to that spot to take fisheye pics of the bridges above, and just parked my car in the sun to see how it would look.
On the other 2, I was shooting eucalyptus trees around an office building I frequently drive past. When I went back to the car, the light reflecting off the building gave a nice, soft illumination to the front end. Happy accidents, as Bob Ross (the afro-haired painter on PBS, remember him?) used to say.
