For those who liked my dreams challenge entry, i'm posting a couple shots I did tonight at the same spot. Two very different shots in colors.



Here's something crazy... I went to shoot with my cousin, so after it got dark, I drove her home. On the back, I saw a black spot long ahead on the road so I slowed down. I got about 10 feet from it and it turned it's head and I saw the cats eyes reflecting from my headlights. It got up and just walked away. That seemed very strange but I'm not superstitious so was like: "Ok, some freaky cat, it happened to be black..."

I got closer to my place and in a very dangerous curve 50km/h Limit (could somebody please convert in miles?... Thanks) and some black Jetta just drove by me real fast (i was doing 60km/h, allready 10 above the limit, as usual and what's tolerated anyways) and the car behind was driving real close to me. So we get to an intersection, the light is green but I got a car coming opposite so I wait for the car to clear the way. Meanwhile, the car behind took a shortcut through the gas station. I saw the car come out as was turning left (same direction as that car exept I turned at the intersection. Now she's far ahead from me and she pulls in some driveway on the left.
Just before I drove to her distance, she puts the car in rear and backed into my (2004) car. The boyfriend came out of the house thinking he knew how to handle it. He did not want to fill in an insurance report, I had to ask a guy who drove by to call the cops to settle this. So my left quarter is badly scratched... No one got hurt (thankfully).
Still, that damn cat...

Isn't there some superstitious antidote for the black cat? Can't you rub butter on its back and throw it off a rooftop or throw it over your left shoulder to stop the curse or something? Maybe I have my superstitions mixed up. :)

Sorry to hear about your car, glad nobody was hurt. Nice (and unquely appealing) shots of that tree.

50 kph is a little over 30 miles an hour. Strange story, too.
