Dunes? by caterina

Dunes?

Who's going to guess? Better, but not clearer, on black
Looks like exterior landscape of sand dunes and a road that goes around one. If you think that you would like a clearer shot next time, I think I can give you a tip.

@mbrutus give the tip. But these are not sand dunes

Is it something made of wood? Guitars maybe?

Folded over pieces of paper??

@redandwhite @redandwhite @mbrutus it’s the roof of the Museum of the Ferrari racing cars. The architect who designed it got inspiration by the shape of racing cars and used the typical colour of Ferrari: yellow. Thank you for trying!

I thought Ferrariis were usually red.

Ferrari race cars are all painted rosso corsa or racing red. As of the year 2012, yellow was only second most popular of Ferrari’s sold. Red was still number one. Don’t know the most recent statistics. But that is how you wind up with a museum that looks like a sand dune. No such problem if the architects choose rosso corsa for this exhibit. But once again, you always end up visiting the most interesting places. Tomorrow I expect you’ll visit the Alfa Romeo Museum and wind up with a marvelously fascinating photo of an ant hill to share with us. ;-). I await it anxiously.

@mbrutus see above. Also you mentioned that you could give me a tip to make the pic clearer. You would be very welcome to do that. As you no I'm always willing to learn!

So this is the external roof (overhang?) looking upwards from the ground? I'm trying to understand it architecturally instead of appreciating it as abstract Sorry. I thought initially - three wooden spatulas lined up! Cool shot.

Thank you @helenhall for your ocmment. I have just uploaded another picture of the roof that should make things clearer. I had photo also from above (from a small hill nearby) but I canceled them after uploading the Dunes.

Interesting. Wonderful flowing shapes. I guess the Ferrari museum would have to be a triumph in design

@suzanne234 Thank you Suzanne. There are many beautiful engines. And if I say so...I don't have a passion for cars but I can recognize something beautiful

@mbrutus Ferrari‘s official colour, as chosen by Enzo Ferrari, the founder, is yellow as a tribute to the city of Modena where the factory started. However at the time of the first races of F1 each country was given a colour by the organizers: red for Italy silver for Germany, green for the UK etc. Because the ferraris were so successful, Enzo decided to keep it for the races. And most passionate (and rich) lovers of this car bought it red.
