It's all about parking garages!<br /><br />Weirder still, I took a photograph of a really cool parking garage in downtown Cincinnati -- cool because it's covered by a large-scale Op Art sculpture by Julian Stanczak.

It was the starting point of the real Cannonball Run back in the early 1970s (That's right -- there was an actual Cannonball Run, on which the movie of the same name was based.) Photos of the rooftop with all the cars can be found in Brock Yates' book "Cannonball!"Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-25649729004930977272010-02-15T05:33:34.018-08:002010-02-15T05:33:34.018-08:00Of course they can - and even when they are not be...Of course they can - and even when they are not beautiful, there is always something fascinating about them.
