CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

Thank you, gentlemen. Downtown Santa Ana has revitalized in recent years to be a vibrant area with restaurants, art galeries, music, etc. Sort of dismal over the past year, of course, but it's starting to come back slowly. In a bit of a tie-in with my earlier photos in Tustin, The Frida Theater, a small independent movie house in Santa Ana has started doing pop-up drive-in movies in Tustin near the parking garage featuring the Shag murals. Friday night, I'm going to a double feature with Road Warrior and Escape From New York.

Yikes, Gone! Get a Mohawk, some studded leathers and mount chainsaws on the CB, then head for the movies!

Actually, I was planning to arrive in a late 70s Cadillac low rider with chandeliers on the fenders, a-la The Duke of New York.

Escape From New York is a classic. Love that 80's B movie stuff.

The Vincent van Gogh museum in Holland is one of the most visited places in Amsterdam , nearly as famous as the Red Light District.

All these are subjects that Van Gogh painted, except for the ear which he cut off and did not paint into his self-portrait.
Here's some inspiration...

Ah. Sorry to assume too much.
I believe he is just using Van Gogh as a starting point. A photo of your bike under the stars or in front of a field of sunflowers is sufficient. The goal in this game is to start with a rough idea and see where your mind can take it. There are no wrong answers. I am looking in our area for a statue of a big ear as I have this nagging feeling I have seen one around here somewhere. But maybe I just imagined it :huh:

I was going to be snarky and put an ear of corn on my seat and take a picture, but none to be found around here. This one will be a challenge.

That's not snarky, that's well played!
