I'm torn on this picture.
I hate it when people occupy more than one spot particularly when they park perpendicularly, but I am not as sensitive when they do it at the back of the lot (as shown here) as I would be if it were near the front.

Lots of looking through magnifying glasses at sculptures created in the eyes of needles if I recall correctly. This is in addition to their other collections of oddities.
