Thursday Thirteen - Custom Scooters from Japan

I never dreamed scooters could look so cool.  These machines are so low to the ground that it's a mystery to me how they clear the pavement, though.







Thursday Thirteen - Japanese Snow Monsters

Once again, the website Pink Tentacle offered some spectacular Asian flavored images for me to share. Here are some of the amazing snow and ice sculptures formed around trees in the northern mountainous regions of Japan:

Thursday Thirteen - Dekotora

Having recently heard of these decorated trucks, I was happy to have found a good selection of photos on Pink Tentacle. Here are thirteen right off of that website.




1. Blinding is the only word that comes to mind.

 







2. Love the dinoasaur theme!



3. That's a lot of chrome



4. I wonder what these additions cost





5. Do truck stops bother with overhead lights?



6. I wouldn't want to put anything in this beauty



7. This reminds me of a slot machine somehow



8. Can you imagine a parade of these things?

9. I can't imagine this clearing a bump in the road

10. Is this really street legal?

11. Hitting deer must not be a fear for these drivers

12. I'd love to see these going down American freeways!

13. This rivals the Las Vegas strip

Thursday Thirteen - Japan After People

I have another list courtesy of Pink Tentacle.  I hope you enjoy. These post-apocalyptic images struck me as eerily beatiful. Click to enlarge.
