“First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure.” - Douglas Adams

Some people think Libraries are a bit grey
For many of us, libraries are about borrowing books - and that's still true. But there's much more to the services on offer at your local library today. Your library puts on programmes and activities for all ages - it offers free access to technology, as well as workshops and courses on a range of topics including how to use the Internet. You can research your family tree or find out what's happening in your local community
... and much, much more. And, it's all free!
Finance Company Brochure design template by Chris Mackintosh.Showcased on Inkd.com.
This brochure would be fitting for a finance company or bank providing capital to individuals or businesses. The professional tone of the brochure is portrayed through the desaturated hues and refined typography treatment. The brochure can be used to describe various lending and finance programs through text and graphs.
This was a challenge painting from my cousin; she found an old travel brochure in her mother's things and said, "Let's paint it!" so I did! :)

Hideaway - McWay Falls, Big Sur, California 🇺🇸
To call this magical little spot "hidden" would be somewhat unfair - if you somehow managed to miss the road signs, maps and posters pointing you towards McWay Falls, you’d have still seen this idyllic spot on some form of “Visit California” brochure or Big Sur route guide along the way.
But even though it’s no longer the secret little cove I’m sure it once was - it’s still no less majestic and captivating each time you get that first look over the ridge towards that constantly running waterfall, pristine beach and turqouise bay below.
And being able to camp on the overlook (there are only 2 spots, which are booked up months and months in advance) - priceless. Even if you lose a tent to the hunger of a family of chipmunks in the process.
California’s coastline is constantly changing - eroding - shifting. As with many things in life, take the opportunity to see as much of it while you still can.

A scan of a brochure for the Iveco Massif as I've not seen one of these for years. In 2007 Iveco bought the Santana factory in Spain and renamed its Land Rover based car Iveco Massif. Due to very poor sales Iveco stopped production in 2011 and closed down the factory. Only some 8,500 Massifs have been built.
Two Canadian municipal operators placed orders for Daimler's new Roadliner model, who knows, maybe wooed by the offer of an American built Cummins Diesel engine (back when the two countries were best buddies!)
Duple's 'Midland' works (Willowbrook) provided the bodywork to a style which went on to be more usually associated with 'lightweight' chassis here in the UK. If I'm not mistaken, these Roadliners were the first incarnatuion of the type. The Duple parts bin appears to have yielded the large orange front indicator lenses which had been used on the Vega series of coach bodies.
The bus illustrated here in the Roadliner brochure was one ordered by Calgary. The other municipal was Edmonton. One of the latter survived into preservation but sadly fell by the wayside and was scrapped.

Today, 21 January 2022, our temperature is 1°C (windchill -1°C) just after 12:00 noon. Sunrise is at 8:27 am and sunset is at 5:08 pm. A bright, sunny day.
Having spent quite a few hours today trying to sort out a computer 'virus', I am tired out and will have to add descriptions tomorrow. Is anyone else getting endless McAfee pop-ups, that say you have viruses found on your computer? I don't even have McAfee installed on my computer. Ran a full Norton scan of my computer and no viruses were found. Also did a Malwarebytes scan and all was well. Google says don't click on any of the pop-ups. I don't know how to stop the wretched things.
A few more odds and ends from my archives tonight. I am adding the description that I wrote under a different image taken on the same outing.
"On 2 May 2016, I was incredibly fortunate to be able to witness about 30 (?) of these Grouse, mainly male with just a handful of females, displaying at their "lek" or communal dancing ground. On this particular day, five of us went to see this. There had been a couple of possible chances for me to get out there, but these had fallen through. Then, out of the blue, friend Dorothy phoned me, asking if I had been able to get to the lek yet. She said that if I hadn't been, her husband Stephen would be willing to drive me there! This was such a wonderful surprise, though anyone who really knows this couple already knows what amazingly kind and generous people they are. I was so happy to get this unexpected chance and the three of us had a great morning, in good weather and in good company. Two young men also went, making their own way there. Delightful guys, highly respectful of not only the Grouse, but also of us, constantly moving form their seats to allow us to get our turn, and vice versa. They could so easily have left the 'hide/blind ahead of us when the Grouse had all left, but instead they waited till we were all packed up and then made sure that we were all able to safely get over the very awkward stile at the fence line. Having been out there last year, on 13 April 2015, I knew of this problem and had bought a three-step step ladder a few weeks ago, just in case I was able to go sometime this spring. This made so much difference, thank goodness, especially as I was really tired after staying up all night in order to leave at a very unearthly hour of the morning.
So glad we had a nice, sunny day - the day I went a year ago, the weather was overcast and not good for photos. This year, I got to see the Grouse in beautiful sunrise light, too. Of course, the 'problem' of clumps of tall grass was exactly the same this year, lol, keeping the birds somewhat hidden, but every once in a while, a bird would come out into the open. Most of the time, they were quite distant, but we were very lucky that several did give us a closer view. Such magnificent birds, with their yellow 'eyebrows', purple patch below the side of the neck on the males, and glorious feather pattern. Their dance display to attract the females is so fascinating to watch.
Just after we got back to our cars, another car came along the road and stopped to talk with us. It turned out that this gentleman was indirectly connected to the lek. He voiced his huge concern at how many people had been out there this spring, feeling that this was not good for the Grouse. He said that hopefully no more people would be going, so that the Grouse would be undisturbed in their mating. We agreed with him and thought that maybe people should not be allowed to visit every year, but perhaps every two or three years. I will pass on his words and great concern to our Naturalist leader who organizes these visits. (Note added on 13 November 2021: they are still being allowed to continue.)
After we left the lek, we travelled a few nearby backroads, hoping to see a Western Meadowlark. We saw 10! It had been so funny, while we sat in the blind at the lek, a Meadowlark was somewhere nearby and sang for us for about four hours! When we at last emerged into the sunlight, there was no sign of it anywhere. We did manage to get a few distant shots of two or three of them.
Thank you so much, Stephen and Dorothy, for offering to take me - so very kind and thoughtful of you, as always! The stop for having our sandwiches was great and the muffins you brought along with you ended the morning very nicely.
If you have time, the following 2:30 minute YouTube video by the Alberta Conservation Association is very good for showing the action of these birds. There are several still shots first and then the video starts. Pretty amazing! The birds remind me of a child's wind-up toy : )
I came across an excellent brochure (pdf file) about Sharp-tailed Grouse on the Internet and will use some of the information from it, instead of using my own words to describe what goes on at a lek. I had seen females of this species before, on Christmas Bird Counts, but not a male and not at breeding time.

"Sharp-tailed grouse perform spring courtship displays on communal “dancing grounds” called leks. Here, males compete for breeding opportunities by displaying their "dancing” ability to females. Most activity on the lek occurs in the early morning just before sunrise and for a few hours afterwards. The males’ energetic display includes fluttering wings, rapid foot stomping and spinning in tight circles - reminiscent of wind-up toys. The most dominant males court females with low cooing sounds and by strutting around them with inflated air sacs on their neck and fanned tail feathers. It is nearly a winner-take-all form of competition, as only a few of the males are selected as mates by the females.
Leks are found in areas with dry open ground, where dancing activity keeps the vegetation well-trampled. Leks are used over several weeks beginning in late March and are often used for years, even decades. They are an important part of sharp-tailed grouse life, and the loss of suitable lek habitat can be a limiting factor for sharp-tailed grouse in Alberta.
Male sharp-tailed grouse gather on the lek in late March. In April the females arrive, sparking increased displaying by the males. Peak attendance by females on the lek occurs between mid to late April in much of Alberta. Once they have selected a male, hens breed once and then seek out a place to nest, usually in late April to early May.
Leks are an integral part of the lifecycle of prairie grouse. Active leks should never be approached, as any disturbance to the birds may disrupt breeding activities and result in the abandonment of the lek. The locations of active and historical leks are of great interest to grouse biologists.
Native North Americans called the sharp-tailed grouse “Fire Bird” because of their reliance on fires to keep their habitat open in wooded areas. Suppression of natural fire in parkland and boreal areas reduces the amount of open grassland available to sharp-tailed grouse.
Sharp-tailed grouse were an important food source for native North Americans and they continue to be a popular game bird for hunters today.
In Alberta, the sharp-tailed grouse is listed as “Sensitive.”
While exact population numbers are not known, there is a feeling that sharp-tailed grouse have decreased significantly in numbers over the past 40 years. This trend is supported by lek counts, hunter surveys, aerial counts and Breeding Bird Survey data. Declining numbers are the result of a reduction in the quality and quantity of sharp-tailed grouse habitat, particularly the loss of quality nesting and brood-rearing habitat."

This is a scan of the front and rear cover of a Kodak sales brochure from 1936, simply titled "KODAK". On the front you will see what looks like a mother and father with their daughter going out for a picnic. The daughter appears to be carrying either a Kodak Brownie Six-16 or Six-20 camera. Inside there are advertisements and price listings for various models of Kodak Brownie, Baby Brownie, Jiffy, Bantam and Retina cameras. On the rear cover you will see an advertisement reminding customers to: "always ask for Kodak film in the yellow box".
Kodak was one of the few American companies to thrive during the Great Depression, with its stock value nearly doubling by the end of the 1930s. This was due in part to Kodak's large customer base and brand loyalty which it had established in the decades prior to the 1930's. Kodak also remained innovative during this period and introduced its famous colour reversal film Kodachrome in 1935.

One of the last Barbie Fashion Brochures I have ever seen. I always thought that this was a great marketing idea, to make kids want more clothes! (catalogs and websites work this way too)
The catalogue to an exhibition held by Shell-Mex and BP Ltd of their advertising posters, brochures and other publicity materials that was held at the New Burlington Gallery in London. For the occasion the company commissioned one of the foremost poster artists of the day, Edward McKnight Kauffer, to design the covers to the catalogue booklet. This he did with his usual bold style - the artist and palette superimposed on a scene of industry and technology, symbolic of Shell-Mex and BP's apparent patronage of 'commercial art'.
As the introduction, by Frank Rutter, notes the company came into the the field of using graphic design as the basis of their corporate identity following the example of London's Underground and that organisation's Commercial Manager, Frank Pick. It was Pick who, arguably, helped McKnight Kauffer on to the ladder of success with his early post-WW1 posters for the Underground Group. McKnight Kauffer went on to design Shell publicity, alongside a roll call of now famous graphic designers and artists under the patronage of Jack Beddington. Beddington joined Shell in 1928 and after the formation of the joint marketing concern Shell-Mex and BP in 1932 he rose to become Director of Publicity for the company.
The book is printed by Lund, Humphries of the County Press in Bradford and the typography and layout are 'very' Lund, Humphries for that date.
The company organised a second such exhibition in 1938.

Cover of the brochure for the largest Ford models. This one is for Canadian market. I don't know if there were any differences from the US offering since I don't have that brochure to compare.
Scan of a printed brochure for the Golf GTi (8v and 16v) from January 1991. It's a simple 4 page, A4 size leaflet.
This is a double-page spread from the inside.
This brochure describes the Sportswagon as "a unique and versatile station wagon for daily family use and a camper for weekend or vacation touring."
I realised I hadn't shot the new(ish now) Distagon f1.4 35mm ZM on the M8. That's really because the M8 is now limping along and rarely gets out. Cards playing up, even new ones so not the cards the internal reader/circuit, LEDs failed, battery lasts no time and flat dies from full so a challenge. Still, managed a few frames off. It's a great lens but I really can't get used to the size. I think my 90mm is shorter. Well off to check, with hoods the weight is the same as the 90mm f2.8 Elmarit-M and the height difference is negligible the 90mm being mms longer, still it's very sharp with a nice short focus throw and internal focussing.
