Sainte-Luce est une ville de la côte Sud de la Martinique. Elle est constituée de plusieurs petits quartiers comme Trois Rivières (quartier connu pour son rhum du même nom), Monésie, l'Epinay ou encore les Coteaux.
La commune de Saint-Luce est principalement composée de mornes qui permettent d'avoir de magnifiques panoramas des quartiers les plus élevés (l'Epinay, Bellevue Ladour, etc.). Des points les plus élevés de Sainte-Luce, il est possible d'observer La roche gravée (pétroglyphe) de la forêt de Montravail, et l'intégralité de la Martinique alors que le bourg est situé près du bord de mer.

The summer of 1980 was business as usual for the GMRC, the daily freight, XR-1 always featured ALCO power. Here XR-1 is on the downhill side of Mt. Holly, VT with RS-1's 401-405 headed to the VTR interchange on a fine summer day in 1980. Photo by Fred Bailey
Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)
New Hampshire
During the winter and non breeding seasons they travel in large groups in search of fruit.
Supposedly the original "Bohemians" were travelers or refuges from central Europe. This species is therefore true to it's name and was in fact well named.
The information below is from a "Cool Green Science" web page and the Nature Conservancy
"Waxwings Really Have Wax Wings" BY Matthew L. Miller
"Waxwings really have wax wing tips. The bright red, visible on the wing feathers of some waxwings, is actually waxy red secretions. The red wax tips are appendages on the bird’s secondary feathers. They’re colored by astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment.
While it was originally thought that the red tips functioned to protect the feathers from wear and tear, there is little to no evidence for this hypothesis.
Rather, the red secondary tips appear to be status signals that function in mate selection.
Interestingly, the red appendages of both Waxwing species increase in number and size with a bird’s age: individuals with zero to five waxy tips are thought to be more immature birds, while those with greater than nine are thought to be older.
Individuals within these two categories tend to associate as mates. Pairs of older birds (those with greater than nine waxy tips) nest earlier and raise more young than do immature birds, suggesting that this plumage characteristic is an important signal in mate choice and social organization.
Most of this information comes from a wonderfully informative article..... By Matt Miller I've enclosed the link below and it's a wonderful read for anyone who has interest in both Cedar and Bohemian Waxwings."

This used to appear at car shows and events in the past, but unfortunately now seems to be doing not so well, languishing away in a driveway.
Imported in 2010, it's been on SORN and without an MOT since 2019. Though it is now MOT exempt, I doubt it's moved for a while.

Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Oregon. This was shot in 1980 with an early model HP digital camera. The image was scanned from a photographic film print. Many years later the print was scanned to a digital file. From that digital scan file it recently went to LrC and then to Photoshop for Colorization. The results are quite interesting.
Check out the rot! How the hell this has survived I have no clue at all.
Current owner since, ahem, 1984! Must be pretty rare to find any this original and in ownership this long-term.

Still going through the Barcelona 1980 slides. Seeing them it's no wonder that we always remembered that trip with great fondness.
Not sure how I feel about these... looks a bit like a deluxe golf cart to me! Always nice to see something a bit out of the ordinary on the roads though.
From the colour chart I've seen online, this is 'Jaune Atacama', which basically means yellow!
The current windmill has been on the hill since 1980. The previous mill burned down in 1946 (built in the 1850s).
The skyline with a windmill was lost after the fire. After a while a committee was formed for the preservation of local history to find a replacement mill.
In 1978 Helsingborg city council offered the Stattena mill to the committee. After detailed planning th mill was moved during 1979-1980, by sea and land. After several years of non-profit work to restore the mill, it was inaugurated in 1984. Nowadays the mill is used for grinding flour several times a year.
You may visit all floors in the mill at open mill days and you can also admire the view over the strait between Sweden and Denmark.
Smock windmills were introduced by the Dutch in the 17th century. The lower half of the smock windmill was made of stone, while the upper half was made of wood.
