Flickr... photos on Flickr

Well... I don't very often post portraits of people in my photostream, but I thought I'd make an exception. My flickr friend Jill, AKA, Jill's Junk has become such a great friend.

I thought I'd post this photo I took of her last month. I visited her on my way out west, as I passed by Ontario. She's Canadian, as is quite evident in this photo. She obviously looks Canadian.

UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.

New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.

The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).

Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.

Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.

"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.

GKN Tactica

Military Registration Number HI 90 AA

GKN SET

The basic Tactica vehicle is of the forward control configuration. The engine is mounted centrally between the driver and commander, with a half bulkhead separating the driver's area from the troop compartment that extends to the rear of the vehicle. Both left- and right-hand drive versions of the Tactica are available.The semi-monocoque hull is made from high-hardness certified armour plate, providing protection from 7.62 mm armour-piercing attack. All vision blocks and driver's vision blocks provide the same level of protection, and the hull will also provide protection against fire bombs and other improvised devices. All six doors and vision areas have ballistic overlaps and the AL1-DCSR high-speed 'shoot-through' tyre system is standard on all wheels.To meet different operational requirements, Tactica can be supplied with a number of different turbocharged diesel engine combinations, coupled to a fully automatic or manual transmission.

Originally developed as a private venture by Glover Webb. The standard Tactica armoured personnel carrier is the basic model of a wide range of variants for a number of different missions. The Tactica was developed in 1988 using Glover Webb's own semi-monocoque frame, and the first vehicle entered service with an Asian customer late in 1989. Early in 1993, the vehicle entered service with the British Army. These are used for special duties in Northern Ireland, including EOD. The vehicle is also used for a number of civilian applications.

In 1994 Glover Webb was taken over by GKN Defence, late 1997 GKN closed down the Glover Webb operation, transferring development, production, sales and marketing to its main facility located at Telford, in Shropshire, production has since transferred to Newcastle upon Tyne

Picking Strawberries by John Gremmer

21 20

According to the owner of this produce farm, who is present in this image, there are only a few days left to pick these wonderful strawberries. He says this has been one of his best years for strawberries---but, pick-your-own numbers were down.

I was over at the farm at 6:00 am on this Saturday and people were frantically loading up berries and vegetables for the three area farm markets. Later three more trucks came and loaded up for sites in three nearby cities. These people work well together to get everything loaded and on its way.

At least four ethnic groups were represented in the 20 people picking for the owner on this day. The ages ran from teens to senior citizens. I took many portraits of the workers and had great cooperation and acceptance. The portraits are quick snaps---hey, they are working.

This is an HDR image made from five images. This helped me get the exposure that I needed.

Camera/Processing: I used my Pentax K5 and Pentax 18-135 lens to make this image. Aperture 3 and NIK Efex Pro 2 were used to post process.

Camera Settings: ISO 400, aperture f/9, shutter varied on five images, focal length 18mm

Fiat 500L Trekking (2013-on) Engine 1248cc S4 Turbo Diesel

Registration Number WM 63 FOF

www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623665060711...

Designed by Roberto Giolito as a five door mini MPV based on the design of Fiat 500. Initially scheduled for a 2011 launch, the car was finally unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow and later at the 2012 LA Auto Show and launched late 2012 and in Spring 2013 in Great Britain and the USA, the 500L will eventually be available in 100 countries, and is manufactured in Kragujevac, Serbia (Fiat Srbija).

The L stands for Large/Lounge, and the 500L, longer, wider and taller than the 500 and is built on the US wide version of the GM Fiat Small platform.

The 500L can be specified with an in-vehicle espresso machine that uses Lavazza pods, which makes the 500L the world's first production car to feature such a facility

The 500L Trekking is a mildly restyled and lifted marketing variant of the Fiat 500L, first presented at the automobile show in Los Angeles, California, in 2012. Arguably a trim variant of the 500L, the Trekking features ground clearance increased by 13 mm); length increased by 11 cm; larger 17 x 7-inch aluminum wheels,

It arrived in UK Fiat dealers in mid 2013, Engine options depend on market, with a 1.4 L MultiAir turbo 160 hp engine and a 1.3 L diesel available.
