A folly of my earlier, formative years was having a rallycross-tuned Mini-Cooper. Super fun to use on icy, slippery and winding roads after snowfall. one could imagine being a Finnish driver like Timo Mäkinen zig-zagging through sharp bends with full throttle, and prolific concurrent use of the brakes. Very entertaining, if the experience of once in a while losing traction and driving off the road was not included.

i was reminded of these hilarious years when I spotted this car today,

This lockdown/curfew business in Spain is driving me nuts as most of the measures taken apparently contradict each other all the time...not the place to rant about it.

  In other spirits, I took today the D5/24-70mm 2.8 vr combination to walk around at night. What a combo!

P.E.: The image looses sharpness when uploaded to the site. I can all yours cleary. Maybe I´m doing something wrong?
  This is the low resolution file in case anyone wants to see the difference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/385kdxcud222a9q/web_2021%2001%2025_valencia%20Noche_panning_PacoVillalta-_D5P9205.jpg?dl=0

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

And here I stupidly enough thought the only candidate species for Jakov would commence with "C". Shame on me :(

Bananas, by the way, now are on my no-no food list. So didn't even think in that direction.
