What's your favourite image posted on EcoModder in 2009?

I'd have to say just about anything botsapper posts is in the running as a favourite of mine, but I particularly liked this photo Marcus posted in his Prius revival thread, and his description is great:

Some things that should not be beautiful are really beautiful...They are a symbol of dark forces at work... Like the steel filings from a transaxle sump magnet:


From his thread: Orange4boy's Rescue and Revival of a 2003 Prius

What caught your eye this year on EM?

Excellent Photoshop work with that one.

There is certainly something very 'artsy' about that image. It looks like something you could see on display at a museum.

Too many great images to choose a favorite, but my least favorite would be these series of dead links.
