AT THE PALACE BRIDGE, StPetersburg, Russia
A shot from a horror movie: black cars attacking people! Er... almost :) and the most carnivorous is the Mercedes painted matt black! As if intended to emphasise the contrast, all the other cars are also black, but glossy black. We've noticed the numerous vehicles painted matt black and started figuring the purpose. Maybe we're wrong (then we'll be more than happy to learn the real reason!) but we came up with an idea that this matt paint doesn't reflect light and makes the automobiles invisible in the darkness. StPete's Stealth!
A case of accidental lighting: taillights of a car coming out of an underground parking are overspread on walls making a dramatic appearance of the "actor", automatic fence acting as curtains...
PS. The guy at the BMW steering weel was very nice! He waited patiently until we took a picture of him... So - no worries, there was no danger! :)
What color your pony-car will be?

Made me look at cars with fresh eyes
Olle who sometimes is boringly down to earth told me that matt painted cars only was popular because they are more expensive (since they are non standard) ...
... I liked the stealth theory better
Hej Roine, thanx for comment! You should see them using a mash on a number plate. Visible when close to a car, blured when distanced. Anti speed cameras solutions, in other words.
