I would fully agree. Just a great complementary combination.

Nice find Tom!

I wonder if it was shot in Florida or Arizona. Might he/she be a member of our great Group. I wonder. Looks protected from the hot sun and very cool indeed.

Here's another find with the same theme... the juxtaposition of a vintage car with modern architecture.

Outrageously cool. The Pagoda cars and the modern architecture fit together like hand and glove.

It would be so cool to have a place like this in ones so called colden years, unfortunatley it not always works out the way one plannes. Here another few photos of the same house and 2 shots from a different angle of the Pagoda.

PS, if it was my place photo No. 4 would be hanging somewhere near the Pagoda :)

Edit: added PS and photo No. 4
