I wanted to take a picture of the dart in flight. I guess the flash sync limit of 1/200 made it quite impossible. Anyway, I tried till eventually my camera runs out of battery. This is actually the only picture where I get the dart in flight and yet it looks like it's firmly placed on the dartboard.
This shot was taken with the 400D + 24-70 at 70mm, 1/200, f/10 and ISO800. The flash was fired from the left of the frame at 1/4th of its power through a honeycomb grid.
Greenway is an estate on the River Dart near Galmpton in Devon, England. It was first mentioned in 1493 as "Greynway", the crossing point of the Dart to Dittisham. In the late 16th century a Tudor mansion called Greenway Court was built by the Gilbert family. Greenway was the birthplace of Humphrey Gilbert. The present Georgian house was probably built in the late 18th century by Roope Harris Roope and extended by subsequent owners. The gardens may have been remodelled by landscape gardener Humphry Repton.
Greenway was bought by Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan in 1938. The house was occupied by Christie and Mallowan until their deaths in 1976 and 1978 respectively, and featured, under various guises, in several of Christie's novels.
Christie's daughter Rosalind Hicks and her husband Anthony lived in the house from 1968, until Rosalind's death in 2004.
The Greenway Estate was acquired by the National Trust in 1999 and it is now a Grade II* listed building.
Agatha Christie frequently used places familiar to her as settings for her plots. Greenway Estate and its surroundings in their entirety or in parts are described in the following novels:
Five Little Pigs (1942)
The main house, the foot path leading from the main house to the battery overlooking the river Dart and the battery itself (where the murder occurs) are described in detail since the movements of the novel's protagonist at these locations are integral to the plot and the denouement of the murderer.
Towards Zero (1944)
The location of the estate opposite the village of Dittisham, divided from each other by the river Dart, plays an important part for the alibi and a nightly swim of one of the suspects.
Dead Man's Folly (1956)
The boat house of Greenway Estate is described as the spot where the first victim is discovered, and the nearby ferry landing serves as the place where the second real murder victim is dragged into the water for death by drowning. Other places described are the greenhouse and the tennis court, where Mrs. Oliver placed real clues and red herrings for the "murder hunt". The lodge of Greenway Estate serves as the home of Amy Folliat, the former owner of Nasse House.

At the end, the Procters fleet still included a handul of service buses. TLZ 9469 was a Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer new to Trent as S942 UAL and was seen in Hanley in December, 2011.
Today you get two photos because I couldn't decide which I liked more.
I had this idea after hearing about how some prisoners are treated in wars. I imagined they might want to have some fun too and use them as a dart board holder because if they miss they would still win.
DART had an event this morning to educate folks on how to use their new bike racks. They should do this every weekend. I can't tell you how many times I see a DART bus going down the street with an empty bike rack.
I hope to use this in the future as part of my commute to work.

Just one more of the Black Darter (Sympetrum danae)
A small heathland and moorland species, and the only UK black dragonfly. The males become extensively black with maturity with a black frons and thorax. Some yellow markings remain along the sides of the abdomen and thorax.
Females and immature males have a yellow abdomen and brown thorax marked with a black triangle on top. The side of the thorax and the lower part of the abdomen is strongly marked in black.
Yesterday I posted few more shots, including a female and an immature male.
Thank you for visiting my photostream and I appreciate your comments. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I'll catch up with you all today :)
I really should remember to change my ISO when the weather brightens up or shooting stationary subjects 1250 a bit much me thinks!

Arriva Wardle Transport Dennis Dart SLS/Plaxton Pointer 2406.DA51XTC in Birch Terrace, Hanley on the 13th September 2012.
The terminus at the Jewel is in the middle of a car park with a
bus lane running down the middle. It's located on the east side of the city
centre on the edge of the by-pass at Kinnaird and not too far from
Portobello. There is a large ASDA supermarket just to the rear of the bus
here and as we can see the car park itself seems to attract cars of a
certain type!
Let's hear again from Chris Cuthill on the different types of Dart.
"The Dart is a Dennis Chassis, which was owned by Mayflower Group who also
bought Plaxton and Alexander. The company then became TransBus. They went
into administration and Plaxton once again became a separate company.
Alexander Dennis was formed and took over the Bus production of Transbus
with Plaxton focussing on Coaches.
ADL (Alexander Dennis Limited) kept the Pointer for some years then
developed the Enviro200 body built on an updated Dart chassis. In the
beginning known as the "Dart4" but due to the popularity of the Dart name
the decision was made to name the chassis as the Enviro200Dart. Available in
similar lengths to the original Dart the 8.9m is proving to be popular along
with the standard length 10.7m variant. The 11.3m is now bodied on the
bigger Enviro300 body!".
And to just to add that all of Lothian's Darts are Super Pointer Darts at 11.3m.
Thanks to Chris for that and now I shall go and make myself a
cup of tea!

A rear advert on Dart 62 for highlandwear styling at its best and I wouldn't
mind going to the George Hotel for champagne cocktails with these two and
their inviting eyes!
It's absolutely super isn't it and surely one of the most eye catching bus advertisements around. So very French. Tres sexy pour moi...e vous?

The Dennis Dart in MTR Bus Department are very special. It is because they all have a Northern Counties bodies. In Hong Kong, only a few buses have a Northern Counties bodies.
Poor photography but interesting behaviour ? Male and female darter getting in some late egg-laying - bobbing about the pond as they do - when suddenly a rival male flew into the attack. The female held by male #1 was up-ended and thrown across the water while the 2 males had a real set-to. It's a tough world out there.
