Jeff Zwart is one of the best automotive photographers and filmmakers in the world. He's also wickedly fast at the wheel of +Porsche 911s and for many years now he has competed at Pikes Peak.
This year, they used an array of cameras on and in the car as well as all the way up the mountain. Best of all they cut it together without any electronic or rock music soundtrack.
This is pure unadulterated footage of the a fast Porsche climbing Pikes Peak with nothing but the ambient sound. Beautiful.

Not every +Ford Motor Company Mustang design makes it to the real world
In fact far more are rejected than built and even many of those that make it to concept or prototype stage end up on the cutting room floor. .
Mustangs and the path not taken
Before Ford hit on the perfect formula at the perfect time, it wasn’t necessarily clear that the Mustang was going to take the form we’re familiar with today. Take a look at some Mustang misfits, whose time never came.

I discovered a new yardstick for measuring how hot it is in the Public Garden 2
Reshared post from +Andy Ihnatko
I discovered a new yardstick for measuring how hot it is in the Public Garden.
You know it's damn hot when even the squirrels are thinking "Hell with it. I'm just going to flop right here. That's my plan for the afternoon."
You know it's super damn hot when a squirrel can't be arsed to scamper back into the safety of the branches when a Human draws close with a camera.
And if the squirrel is so lethargic from the heat that it refuses to twitch so much as a whisker even when the Human shoots a seven-image HDR sequence…it's time to stop taking photos of squirrels and time to set off to make inquiries of the gentleman inside the ice cream truck parked at the corner of Boylston and Arlington.
(Seriously. This guy was the second or third squirrel I spotted just flopped on the ground or a branch. That gray suit is a ten out of ten for style but zero out of ten for summer comfort.)
