whenever I step outside,
somebody claims to see the light.
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
Cause everyone thinks they're right,
and nobody thinks that there just might be more than one road to our final destination.
But I'm not ever going to know if I'm right or wrong 'cause we're all going in the same direction. And I'm not sure which way to go because all along we've been going in the same direction.
On a wall at the junction in Bexley Village is this old direction sign. One way to Dartford and the other to 'The Crays'. These being Footscray, St Paul's Cray and St Mary Cray. Crayford on the other hand is in the Dartford direction.
Well done Flickr, this is London you say so where in London,(near Heathrow?) (on the way to Barnet?) (Charing Cross Road or Whitehall?) No this is Bexley. A point that is less than three minuets from the County of Kent.
lately, i think the universe has been providing
me with much better directions than in the past
something is definitely right
Chevrolet's Biscayne wowed show-goers at the 1955 General Motors Motorama. Designed and built under the direction of GM design chief Harley Earl, this genuine “dream car” matters because it is one of the two surviving Chevrolet concept vehicles from the automaker’s famed 1950s automotive extravaganzas.
Conceived as an “exploration in elegance,” the sleek Biscayne was a true hardtop sport sedan. It shared the all-new 1955 Chevrolet’s 115-inch wheelbase, but was dramatically lower and 10 inches shorter overall than the standard car. Its four-door body was made of reinforced fiberglass, the same material used for the Corvette. To 1955 eyes, the Biscayne’s deeply sculptured body lines were a striking departure from the norm.
Opening from the center, the Biscayne’s front and rear doors locked into the rocker panels when closed — there was no latch pillar. Continuing the sport sedan theme, the interior featured four thin-profile bucket seats, with the front two pivoting outward for easier entry and exit. A wide-perimeter frame enabled the dropped floor pans that increased legroom and headroom.
Chevrolet had just introduced its 265-cid Turbo-Fire V-8 for 1955, and the Biscayne showcased the new engine with chrome accents, a four-barrel carburetor and internal mods that helped boost horsepower to 215.
Creating dream cars such as the XP-37 — GM’s project designation for the Biscayne — inspired stylists and engineers to reach for the future. Crowd response to the Motorama cars was closely monitored to gauge consumer acceptance of “experimental” styling and features. The GM Research reports that followed influenced production designs — and would also help Earl sell design ideas to occasionally reluctant division executives.
Earl’s stylists were already sketching ideas for the 1958 GM cars by the time the 1955 Motorama’s five-city tour ended, and the show cars’ sculpted bodies influenced the styling of the ’58 Chevys and Pontiacs. Chevrolets adopted the Biscayne’s round taillights for ’58; they would become an enduring motif for the brand. The car’s complex “three-way panoramic windshield” was seen on 1959–60 GM models. Both the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair and 1961–62 Corvette drew upon the Biscayne’s rear body design.
Chevrolet also applied the Biscayne designation to a new series of production models for 1958, introducing a nameplate that would carry through 1972.
Late in 1958, the Motorama Biscayne was cut up for scrap at the salvage yard where former GM show cars were routinely destroyed. But the yard owner didn’t finish the job. Instead, he squirreled away the ex-show car’s chopped-up pieces. Thus, the fragmented Biscayne would be counted among the four 1950s GM Motorama cars famously unearthed at the yard three decades later. An exceptionally challenging and superbly executed restoration was completed in 2010.
Six decades after its Motorama debut, the avant-garde 1955 Chevrolet Biscayne’s “star power” is undiminished, and it still attracts a crowd whenever it is shown.
A bit interesting if you view it large on black

Have a wonderful, wonderful start of the weekend!
I'm slowly catching up with my friends' uploads. I have just spotted tons of beautiful ones.
Sony Music and Syco Music commissioned Fluid to create the global campaign identity for the launch of boy-band One Direction's second album 'Take Me Home'. The sleeve designs for the aforementioned album and single 'Live While We're Young', utilised the photography of John Urbano, as did the design of the scrap-book style collectors edition which featured an Augmented Reality picture book.
Fluid also used digital initiatives and teamed up with Incremental to build momentum pre-release, with an online countdown calendar, releasing new content daily in an advent calendar style. This existed in tandem with a digital 1D Postbox where fans could post messages to be read out on a scheduled date by the boys. It was also a privilege for Fluid to be asked to get involved with 1D's comic relief single for charity, 'One Way or Another' which featured photography from John Wright.
