Audi R8 in the shade
I stumbled onto this R8 by chance. It's one of the cars I love taking photographs of. and yet I rarely get the chance to do so. On my way to photograph the Blue Beetle featured yesterday, I found this R8 parked in front of a house. but the parking lot itself was surrounded by bushes and trees. I found one opening that allowed me to take a few pictures.

Totally didn't know shutter shades were an 80's thing; I thought I was caught in a hipster time warp when I first saw the cover.
