It’s another interactive art display at a [MeowWolf](https://meowwolf.com/visit) location. The picture is cropped, but in the original my wife is standing right next to it pointing at it. ---

Just posted in the comp thread. If anyone is interested in how I met a meerkat about 25 miles south of London, the details (and more photos) are here: > [@Today in nature I saw](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/today-in-nature-i-saw/915854/3817): > > It’s not exactly nature, but today we went for a lunchtime drink and stumbled across a meerkat colony. No shit! Adult meerkat on watch, kits huddled at the base of the pole.

I just posted mine. Some of you know that I’m a car guy. @Telemark’s long-running thread, What’s the most interesting car you saw today? (here, ➜ [What's the most interesting car you saw today?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-most-interesting-car-you-saw-today/688889) ■ ), has over 7,600 posts in it, and I currently have the most posts there, with over 1,300 posts. Last week I drove over to Pebble Beach, CA for the Concours d’Elegance and early one morning on 17 Mile Drive this guy was out driving his 1927 Bentley 4½ Litre. Here is the original photo, but for the competition I tweaked its exposure to highlight its eyes. [![](https://i.imgur.com/iLQE5ie.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/iLQE5ie.jpeg) ---
