Brand spanking new, and a snip at £360 - this is the Vulcan Demonstration Van. Its chassis could take 20-25 cwt., and it was distributed by B.T. Lambert Ltd., 3 Cornmarket, Dublin.
From examining shots of the van from other angles, what we thought was the reg. no. seemed to be 0010 YI (definitely YI, but 0010 didn't sound right). Thanks to Bob Montgomery 2012 who explained that it was a trade plate rather than a registration plate...
I've transcribed the full text from the carving over the door of Reginald's Tower behind the van below...

The island drifts amongst the snow-capped mountains surrounding the Lake Maggiore.
Isola Bella, meaning "Beautiful Island", really does live up to its name. It is one of the Borromean Islands (Isole Borromee) of the Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. Until the beginning of 1600s, the island was a small rocky cliff occupied by a tiny fishing village. In 1632 Carlo III of the influential House of Borromeo began the construction of a palazzo with luxuriant baroque gardens dedicated to his wife Isabella, from whom the island takes its name.

Anche qui si parte da un libro. Nel secolo XIII nel Canon Episcopi furono raccolte varie disposizioni di malefici e magie risalenti al X secolo. Ma fu con la bolla Summis desiderantes di papa Innocenzo VIII del 1484, in pieno Rinascimento, che iniziò la vera caccia alle streghe, quella metodica e senza pietà. Appena due anni dopo venne pubblicato il “Malleus maleficarum”, il testo ufficiale della Chiesa sulla stregoneria.
L’inquisizione fece capolino nel mondo e si impossessò delle paure peggiori dell’animo umano.
A farne le spese furono soprattutto le donne. Tante donne. Vecchie, giovani, vedove, mamme, nubili o sposate… ma anche uomini e persino alcuni bambini.
Spesso si partiva da delle voci. Un sussurro poteva bastare. Voci di una donna che accudiva un gatto, ad esempio. Si era infatti diffusa la bizzarra opinione che i gatti fossero una incarnazione di Satana e che le streghe, delle volte, si originassero proprio dai felini. Per questo, si praticava una incisione a forma di croce sulla pancia dei mici appena nati. Si pensava inoltre che le donne molto anziane di notte prendessero le sembianze di grossi gatti neri per andare a succhiare il sangue dei bambini… o magari del bestiame lasciato incustodito.
Un sussurro, quindi… magari due testimoni anonimi e potevi ritrovarti davanti un inquisitore disposto ad ottenere da te le risposte “giuste”… ed un inquisitore otteneva sempre le risposte giuste. La cosina più banale era il buon vecchio ferro rovente, ma quella era l’epoca della “tortura creativa”. Credetemi, le risposte non tardavano ad arrivare. Si. Sono una strega. Si. Parlo con il demonio. Certo. Ho fatto bere pozioni velenose al mastro ferraio. Perché? Perché sono cattiva. Sono la schiava di Satana… e dopo la confessione ti poteva capitare di finire rinchiusa in un canestro di vimini e poi sospesa sopra il fuoco… o il canonico rogo. Il fuoco purifica ogni cosa. E’ un fatto.
Il mondo andò avanti comunque e verso la fine del secolo XVII e l’inizio del XVIII i processi inquisitori cominciarono a diminuire fino a esaurirsi. Le società europee si resero conto di aver provocato un disastro sociale e fecero “Ops!”. Le condizioni economiche migliorarono e si perse interesse nella superstizione applicata.
Ma non è detto. Personalmente mi piacerebbe stare con una strega. Con qualcuna ci sono andato molto vicino, credo. Oggi ho tenuto d’occhio a lungo la mia gatta nella speranza che si trasformasse in strega… ma non è successo. Non ancora. Io non dispero.
(Daniele D., “La strega e il gatto”, Lyon, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, Francia, 2012)
This shot was taken at the same location as the earlier upload.
Was focusing for another shot and suddenly noticed this fisherman entering the frame, so I decided to add him in, he was moving pretty fast so I decided to shoot a series of continue shots handheld hoping to get one in focus, I had to bump the iso up to 1000 in order to get a reasonable shutter speed.
Initially I wanted to fill the frame but did not carry my additional lens, so worked with what I had.
Thanks for all your support, comments and feedback.
Have a great day.

Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.

View on black please!
While on a photowalk around Westminster with Siany, we walk around the back of Westminster Abbey and she found this little entrance. We wandered in and found this fantastic little cloister and many other churchy-type things. We also found the oldest door in England, dating back to around 1050.
The interior of this, I believe it's called a chapter house, is modelled on the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. I loved the sense of perspective that this corridor gave, plus the wonderful ceiling and the bright sunlight shining in through the cloister windows.
This looks much more lovely large on black. I've also just realised that my Flickr stream has just passed over a million views, so thank you everyone who as visited and continues to visit my photos!

西からの強風で時化た海、西伊豆・浮島海岸の夕焼け。
体ごと飛ばされそうな風の中、ずっと三脚を押さえつつレンズフキフキしながらの撮影。
が、苦労したほどの迫力が出ませんでした。こういうのは標準レンズの方が効果的かな？
でも、吹き付けて乱舞する風、数メートル盛り上がっては打ち砕ける波、グォーっと転がりまくる石、という轟音の中に小一時間いたのは初めてで、ワイルド感をたっぷり堪能しました！

Otro amanecer mas desde Cayón, monte que pertenece a Piloña-Asturias y que casi siempre me ha dado muchas satisfacciones al pillar el amanecer desde ahi.

A night view of Barcelona. A shot made with 4 different exposures in RAW I blended together in Photoshop.
One long exposure for the moving clouds, one very short exposure for the city lights, one very long exposure for the grass in the foreground and another one for the sky.
The city is getting asleep while the clouds in movement are looking like giant sheets protecting Barcelona people.
Please see the picture in a night background in Lightbox
T'accendi
ogni volta
illumini e trasformi
le ombre in luce
il freddo nel caldo
il buio nei colori
...cosi' io ti amo
per i sogni che mi regali
You are turned on
each time
enlighten and transform
shadows in the light
Hot in the cold
the dark in colors
so ... 'I love you
gifts for the dreams that I

Starry skies meet the old west in this capture featuring an old cattle chute near Westcliffe, Colorado. I really liked how the thin moon (only 22% full) reflected so much light and color off the clouds - all with a great view of the stars behind. A little subtle light painting on the chute and the constellation Scorpius just coming into view round out this scene with the southern skies of Colorado.
This composite image comes from 10 shorter exposures stacked with Registar and then blended with one longer one for the foreground. Between the clouds and the wood structure in the foreground, this one was definitely a challenge for my blending skills... I hope you like the results!
