This reptilian road rocket looks like its hurtling down The Mulsanne Straight even when it’s standing still. Indeed, it’s an eye catcher and crowd pleaser everywhere you go.

My good friend Ken Sweet shot each of these photos with his Nikon D7100 camera, conferring closely with Curt and carefully following his Cobra Photography Tips.

Ken was resolved to capture my serpent so you can see it  just as it appears “in person.” Now feast your eyes on his photos of this beauty! John
