Maracaibo city center
It's reality, people modify their cars, especially the young. Here there is a kind of craft with cars, import problems and the high cost of new cars, people manage to invent new things based on old things. The price of a new car "economic" costs about 8 years of minimum wage, something impossible to buy for most people. I've seen really interesting cars transformations--The Photographer (talk) 13:24, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so; it is due to the perspective. See the building behind; is the height of the wall on right is taller than on left? I didn't see a problem for it though. JKadavoor Jee 16:45, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Both constructions are obviously different and far objects look smaller. The house is on the right has very large windows. This unique style of colonialism is also high doors for people entering with mounted their horses. --The Photographer (talk) 17:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"far objects look smaller". That's all. Rear wheel is farther than front wheel; so looks smaller. (I'm an automobile engineer by education. We can't use different dia. wheels an a vehicle; the balancing, weight distribution, stability, etc. will be affected. Most fatal is the effect in balancing; due to the shift of the "center of gravity" to back. Vehicle seems weightless in front; chances that the front wheels don't touch the ground when speed increases. We can use fancy, thick wheels and tyres; but the diameter (wheel+tyre) should be uniform in all wheels if the wheel axles are in the same level.) JKadavoor Jee 05:25, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Rear wheel is farther than front wheel; so looks smaller." I took that into account when I wrote that the front wheel looks "too big". In other words: "Given the perspective and assuming the wheels are equal in diameter, the front wheel looks too big". There are three possible solutions for that: 1) some kind of distortion (due to projection during stitching or lens distortion), 2) the assumption of equal diameter is wrong, 3) my sense for proportions needs calibration. Fortunately, The Photographer himself revealed that option 2 is correct, so there's nothing wrong with neither the image nor my brain ;-) --El Grafo (talk) 13:13, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe in your country these things are really strange, but here is the daily bread :) --The Photographer (talk) 11:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good reasons to love your country, Venezuela! (eventhough you missed all the point I talked about.) Hope (and wish) your president will recover soon. JKadavoor Jee 15:07, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your good feelings. If you ever decide to visit Venezuela, please let me know --The Photographer (talk) 17:02, 4 March 2013 (UTC).  Info At the time of this writing the receipt of information that Hugo Chavez is dead. --The Photographer (talk) 22:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure; thanks. JKadavoor Jee 08:29, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
