Steveston and Crescent Beach at Sunset

For a lack of anything better to do on a Saturday evening, a friend and I chased the sunset from Steveston Village out to Crescent Beach, and I wound up with a few of my favourite-ever photos in the process, not to mention having a great, albeit freezing cold, evening.

Windy Sunset

A windstorm reminiscent of a small hurricane ripped through Richmond the other day, making it sound like my house was going to collapse in on me. To escape potential death, I hopped in the car and went down to the river to see what kind of waves the wind was stirring up; the results were as follows...

Rainy Day at the Automall (LFA Content)

A wet and dreary Sunday; decided to kill some time at the Automall...

The Ford-Lincoln dealer was showcasing a Z06, while 11 GT500s sit to the side rotting away (seriously, some of them haven't moved in over a year).

A swing by the Lexus dealer then yielded a stunning LFA.

I've seen this car before, and another at the Auto Show a while back, but every time I see it I come to appreciate it even more. Everything about the LFA just oozes "attention to detail"; every crease in the carbon, every bolt, every panel; you just know that everything was intended to be the way it is, and is as such to create something that is even greater than the sum of those parts. The jaw-dropping colour doesn't hurt, either.

For a car from a company that produces some of the most sterile cars on the road, the LFA has a presence and a "soul" that is beyond anything short of a Ferrari anniversary car a la F40, F50 and Enzo, even while sitting still beyond some ropes in the middle of a showroom floor. It's like beholding an ancient samurai sword: you can sense the dedication to perfection the craftsmen imbued into every piece.

This anniversary of 9/11 I got out and enjoyed the beauty in the world, visiting with a heron and with a wasp (somewhat unwillingly). I need to cover my walls with some moss...
