ahhhhhhh, late submission that I am not at all happy about.
Friday was definitely a low point in my photography. I don't think I'm much of a journalist photographer, and I think my editing skills are kinda going down. I need to unplug my brain from society and turn over a new leaf.
on another note, look at all that uncut grass! I'd joke with my mom saying that I'd pay the people to not cut the grass...seriously, love tall grass.

1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona
Chassis No. 14083
Specs: 352 hp, 4,390 cc DOHC V12 engine, 6 Weber carburetors, five-speed manual transaxle, independent front and rear suspension by coil springs and wishbones, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 94.5"
History: The ultimate expression of the front-engine V12 Ferrari, the 365 GTB/4 is instantly recognizable. Illustrating Enzo’s dictum that “the horse does not push the cart, it pulls,” the Daytona’s exaggerated hood practically places the driver between the back wheels.
The Daytona had a tube steel frame, and the body featured a horizontal body-side crease just below the level of the wheel-wells. Early models had full-width plastic headlight covers, but all had pop-up lights from 1970 onwards. The chopped-off Kamm tail contained two taillights on each side, and aluminum was used for the doors, hood and trunklid, while Cromodora five-spoke wheels were standard.
Each Daytona 364 GTB/4 cost $19,500 when an L88 Corvette could be had for $5,600. However, its peerless mechanical specifications delivered on the Daytona’s claim to be the fastest production sports car in the world, with a claimed top speed of 174 mph. The 4-cam V12 engine displaced 4.3-liters and cranked out 352 horsepower. Road and Track’s Dean Batchelor photographed an indicated 180 mph at a flat-out 7,000 rpm, and even when the speed was calculated exactly, it still came out to be 173 mph.
Although the Daytona was initially conceived as an interim model for the long-awaited 365 GT 4 Berlinetta Boxer, it was released as the fastest and, for legions of Ferrari enthusiasts, the most desirable car in the world. While Ferrari ultimately conformed with the rising trend of mid-engine “supercars” with the Berlinetta Boxer and Testarossa, the classic Ferrari formula of a front-mounted V12 continues to show its appeal in Ferrari’s current road models. Four decades after its debut, however, the 365 GTB 4 Daytona maintains its glorious status among the sports car elite and is a cultural icon in its own right.
14083: This car’s history is well-known and scrupulously recorded. Originally Amaranto in color, with Nero leather interior, 14083 was built on January 25th, 1971. It was delivered new to Bill Harrah’s Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada and then went to Hollywood Sport Cars, where it was bought by Richard Smith of Redlands, California. Smith owned 14083 until 1988, and it was repainted and cosmetically restored in 1983 by Ferrari expert Mike Sheehan.
The owner in 1991 was recorded as Randall Baselt, and 14083 was sold next by Rod Drew’s Francorchamps of America. At that time, it showed 42,000 miles. Apparently David Hirsch of Cazadero, California couldn’t resist it. His love affair lasted until 1994, when 14083 next appeared for sale at Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, California and was bought by Robert Giase in Tiburon in January 1995. By February 1997, 14083 belonged to Cammisa Motor Car Company in Burlingame, California, with 46,188 miles on it.
Garry Roberts and Company of Costa Mesa, California offered 14083 in the Ferrari Market Letter in 1998, and it was snapped up by Jose Hernandez of Fremont, California, who owned it until the previous owner bought it in 2005. Since then, it has been enjoyed and conscientiously maintained in a highly respected private collection.

* Colombo-designed 4.3-liter, DOHC, V12 engine!
* 0-60 in 5.9 seconds; ¼ mile in 13.8 seconds at 107.5 mph; top speed 174 mph!
If you're watching in black and white, the brown is close to the pink, and if you check back to photo 34 you'll be reminded that my Dannimac was white, but I don't think a Quelrayn flying jacket would have suited my shape in 1971.
1962 Ashley-Ford Special.
Originally built up in 1964 using a 1939 Austin Seven chassis with the intention of using it in 750 class racing. It was purchased by the present owners' father in 1967 when it consisted of a rolling chassis and boxes of parts. It was finally restored after it was removed from long-term storage in 2013. It's now powered by a supercharged Reliant engine.

Parque natural
Tejera Negra es un hayedo situado en Cantalojas, en el rincón noroccidental de la provincia de Guadalajara (España). Forma parte del macizo de Ayllón, en el extremo oriental del Sistema Central. Es uno de los hayedos más meridionales de Europa.
En 1974 se declara al hayedo de Tejera Negra sitio natural de interés nacional y en 1978 se declara parque natural, que se amplió en 1987. Desde la creación del parque natural de la Sierra Norte de Guadalajara, el 22 de marzo de 2011, quedó integrado dentro de éste, por lo que se derogó su anterior declaración de parque natural.

I spotted Federica outside St Paul's cathedral eating a sandwich, She stood out so much from the crowd that I was determined to get her photograph... I hung around for a bit taking photos of statues and trying not to look too much like a wierdo stalker while I waited for her to finish eating, then I pounced!
She proved to have a personality to match her looks, a lovely person i felt I could have happily talked to for hours. She was a bit worried at first about posting the pictures on the net, but I was able to show her the web site on my phone and when she saw other photos I had posted she, thankfully, agreed.
I think she has a rare beauty and I was spoilt for choice when i started processing the photos, hence I have added several to my photostream....
Federica is Italian and currently completing her Masters in London having won a scholarship after studying in Bologna. She told me that she was working on her thesis about modern language and slang.
Thank you Federica for agreeing to let me take your photograph, I hope you like them and all the best with the studies :)
