Protective coloration

 


I enjoy photos that show (or in this case hide) examples of of protective coloration.  The photo above includes a snake.  I was unable to find the snake until a hint was provided. If you would like to try to locate it before the hint you may do that now.

If you were unable to locate the snake perhaps it will be a bit easier when I tell you that the snake is not far from the lighter green leaf that is near the center of the photo. If you are still unable to locate the snake please come back tomorrow and I will reveal his location.

Airborne


 Jesse posted this image on justacarguy.  It would seem the photographer was in a very dangerous position when capturing this image.  When I see photos and videos of European rallies I fear for spectators' safety.

1959 Abarth Alfa Romeo 1300 Berlinetta


 Originally three prototype cars were built by Abarth in conjunction with Alfa Romeo.  Two were crashed in testing and the project was abandoned. Designer Luigi Colani bought the wrecked cars and rebodied one in fiberglass in his own design.  The car still exists.
