The Audi R8.


This car is more impressive than you may think. It's a V-10 mid-engine with all-wheel drive. The transmission is the 6-speed R-tronic. The ride is comfortable, FAST, and amazingly quiet. It's likely the most quiet cabin of all the 'Super car' class vehicles I've driven.
According to Audi, prices start around $120,000.
0-60 in about 4 seconds, with a top speed tickling 200 mph.

Angel of Hope...


This looks best full-screen so you can see the detail. I found this very compelling and dramatic. I like how the Angel appears so light, as well as the effortless soft touch when the dove takes flight.

I photographed this statue back in 2007, at the Memphis Botanical Gardens, Memphis, TN.

Optimus


"Optimus"

Is there a more optimal name for a community? (ha) In my Arkansas travels, I often find interesting community names.

"Waterfall Oasis"...


View this one full-screen. This is one of those prints that looks best big, against a dark background.
This is a natural, rock dam over 200 feet wide. It was extremely cold (27 degrees) and extremely windy (over 30 mph winds!) and occasionally snowing that day.
