For the 90 model year the 2.9 and 3.6 went and the 3.2 and 4.0 arrived along with the new analogue dash, hence the reason you find G reg cars in all four engine options, If you wanted a V12 the Series III was still on the books untill it was finally dropped in 1992. This Oct 89 registration is the new model 4.0 in high spec Sovereign trim, the one to have most people would agree.
I have to pinch myself sometimes and remind myself that these XJ40s are geting old now, even the youngest ones are fast approaching twenty years old.
This one's a low mileage peach, once owned and run for a while by a dealer friend, it's got a lady driver now, it's in very nice condition throughout.
I've just noticed it has a piece of chrome missing from the bootlid for some reason. Later X300 "roulette" rims make a nice upgrade.

The picture shows people training for building human castles (castells) in Tarragona. It's a catalan tradition. The group on the photo is Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona (ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colla_Jove_Xiquets_de_Tarragona).

It's now become part of our travelling calendar - we go on a city break for Jayne’s birthday in January - no presents for birthday's and Christmas, we travel instead. This year it was Seville. We had to drive 180 miles south to Stansted to fly there though, Friday afternoon on the A1, such fun... It was a really good drive down in actual fact, the best day for months, glorious blue sky and a fantastic sunset- and I was in a car. We got stung for tea and drinks in the Radison Blu but we were overnighting and leaving the car so we didn't have much choice. Ryanair aagh! Again no choice. To be fair to the abrasive Irish man O Leary things are better than they used to be and it was an acceptable flight.
We were hoping for better weather than we got- don't you always? It was. cold, windy and after some initial beautiful sun on our first afternoon, it was mostly grey. The wind died but so did the sun. The other little problem was that it was my turn for the awful cold that Jayne had been trying to get over. I was under the weather in more ways than one all week, it was only a cold but it was the worst I've had for ages and it didn't help my mood, particularly when the sun was absent. We had a few hours of really nice light here and there and I made the most of it - I think!
Seville has miles and miles of narrow cobbled streets, they seem to go on for ever. They are almost random in layout and it is extremely difficult to find your way around, it's easier to just keep walking and see what you find. So we did! The architecture is stunning and the history is fascinating. Aside from the ancient history the two events that seem to have had a massive recent influence are the Expo's of 1929 and 1992. The incredible buildings or 'Pavilions' that were built for a one off event are now part of the reason that people visit the city. The 1929 pavilions are fantastic, each one is a story in itself and a destination in its own right but there are a lot of them in Parque Maria Luisa. Plaza Espana, built by the hosts of course, is the biggest and I would imagine that you could make a project out of photographing the individual ceramic tile displays around it on their own. These incredible buildings really need the light to be right to get images that people want to see, flat bright light from bright grey skies is good for certain things but dramatic architecture deserves better - or maybe I'm looking for the easy way option. The other discovery that we made, we found just down the road from the hotel, about an hour into the trip – The Metropol Parasol. A giant lattice work parasol, apparently called ‘The Mushrooms’ locally and apparently the world’s largest wooden structure. You have to look twice, having discovered that it is wood. Only later did we discover that we could get to the top and there is an extensive walkway around the top of it. It is built on top of ancient ruins, ( still intact and viewable) a food market and bars etc. and has a plaza around it and on it, that is buzzing on weekend evenings. Walking around the top, the first people up it one day and being back to watch the sunset later was one of the highlights of the trip for me.
The 1992 Expo also covered a massive area but left behind lots of modern - and some very strange - buildings and arenas. Some are of a temporary nature and get dismantled others find a new use. The land used was on an island between two branches of the River Guadalquivir – Isla de la Cartuja. The branch that goes through the city is now a canal, blocked at its northern end by a barrier with a motorway on it, and is used extensively for water sports, mainly rowing. Many of the buildings are now used by private companies as headquarters , others have a very derelict look. The whole area- even though it is home to the theme park- which was shut for the winter, has a neglected air about it. There are weeds growing everywhere but fountains are switched on, which seemed odd. Unlike the city a short distance away, there are no cafes or bars or other people around for that matter, just us meandering through. The car park that was created for the event is massive, it stretches for miles, and I really mean miles. Totally derelict, just the odd person or dog walker around. There is even a railway line terminating here, in the middle of nowhere a modern and apparently unmanned station, like a ghost station. At this point, across the river proper is open countryside, much flatter than I expected and very easy for local walkers and cyclists to get to - also very calm and quiet, a place to linger and enjoy the peace.
As usual I researched and discovered as we walked, we averaged around 13 miles a day and tried to get off the beaten track. We were out around 8.15, before sunrise, and had orange juice, coffee and Tostada with the locals for breakfast. The trouble is that there are many miles of walking in a relatively small area, some streets are only a few feet wide so there are a lot of them to explore. Incredible ancient churches and squares are around every corner- it's a very religious place - Catholicism rules in Spain. Unfortunately many are only a few feet away from the building next to it and it is difficult to get a decent shot of them. Seville is also famous, historically, as a producer of ceramic tiles. A building isn’t complete without a tile display of some sort and it would be very easy to make a project out of tiles alone. It may be a little boring for any companions though!
We walked the length of the embankment a couple of times, it has graffiti from end to end, several miles of massive concrete walls covered in everything imaginable, from marker pen scribbling to works of art. It was suggested to me that allowing people to paint here might prevent them from daubing property and monuments in the city- it hasn't! Most alleyways and shutters have been attacked to a greater or lesser degree. Spain has very high youth unemployment and maybe this plays a role. To be truthful though we haven't seen a city that's free of graffiti. The other problem is dogs- or what they produce, it's everywhere, absolutely everywhere, in a week we saw only one person remove his dogs mess. Fortunately the city streets are cleaned exceptionally well, some of the cleanest we have come across, men (and a lot of women) and machines are washing and sweeping endlessly.
Having had the wettest winter on record at home - almost three months of rain - we didn't want more rain but we got it. The upside was the water and the reflections that it created made photography on the cobbled streets more interesting, particularly at night. I usually find that it takes me a while to get into the groove on a trip and this one was no different, I didn't start shooting with total disregard - street shots- for a couple of days. Whilst the locals wore quilted jackets and scarves we got down to tee shirts at times, the warmer afternoons would be welcome in summer, never mind January, in Huddersfield. I envied the cyclists, being able to train in temperatures like this in winter - I wish! You need a lot less willpower to get out there and train hard in pleasant weather.
From a photography point of view I had a frustrating time, I never felt to get to grips with the place- other than on the streets at night. Writing this on my phone on the flight home, I haven't a clue what I've got to work with when I get back. I usually edit first and write later. Generally I have a first look, I'm disillusioned, I then revisit and see things differently- thankfully! Architectural shots with a grey sky could be destined for the monochrome treatment, we'll soon see. I'm still editing stuff from our London trip before Christmas, it's getting decent views in black and white and I quite enjoy looking at them myself.
We visited most of the notable tourist destinations, and went up anything that we could. Seville doesn't have a high point-it's flat! Nothing really stands head and shoulders above the city. The Cathedral tower is over 300 feet but the Cathedral itself fills a lot of the view on some aspects. Being square and having to look through bars in recesses you don't really get a completely open aspect. A new 600 foot tower is close to being finished, it's an office block and I couldn't find any mention of it being a viewing point in the future.
Oranges were the last thing on my mind when I suggested going to Seville. There are 25000 orange trees in Seville and now is the time that they are laden with big-and sour- Seville oranges, they are everywhere, apparently they are the property of the city authorities and will be harvested and sent to the UK to be made in to marmalade at some point in the near future. These trees will soon be covered in fragrant blossom, the city will smell beautiful for a couple of months. Studying the surrounding area it would be good to tour in March or April I would think, the scents, longer days and better weather would make for a fantastic trip. One for the future. The sunrise on our final morning was the best of the week, this was what we had looked forward to, we had to leave for the airport at 9.00...... Needless to say it was raining hard as we drove the last twenty miles home. Nothing new there then.
As usual I have aimed to present a pretty extensive collection of photographs of our chosen destination, some, at first glance will be pretty mundane shots of everyday life on the streets, often though, close inspection will reveal something humorous, something that needs a bit of thought. Others are definitely just people going about their holiday or work. Travelling with someone else it wouldn’t be fair to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to nail the perfect long exposure or HDR image of a cathedral or similar in perfect light – the one stunning shot to add to the portfolio- it’s not really my thing, I go for an overview of the place in the time available. Looking at the postcards locally it becomes obvious that stunning shots of some of these buildings are hard to come by. Heavily corrected converging verticals were quite obvious – and most likely will be in my own shots. As the owner of tilt and shift lenses I never travel with one – ever! My knees are already creaking from the weight of the bag.
Chiefs versus Eagles at The Linc in Philly. McNabb out...Kolb starting but everyone looking for #7.
Everyone know that Kansas City does beef, well, well. Beef, ribs, BBQ....they know what to do.
Yeah, I've done the beef and ribs thing. For today's game, I wanted to mix it up a bit. Throw a little wildcat offense in there.
So here's what we did...some braised pork rib pizzetas!
A pizzetas is just a small pizza pie. Nothing to get worried about. I had some left over pizza dough taking up space in the freezer. Took it out about 5:30 a.m. to defrost it. By noon, it was good to to.
Also by noon, my pork baby back ribs had been cooking for a couple of hours in my slow cooker. A nice rub on them, some liquid smoke, some Yuengling brew to baste by.
Around 1, I flattened out my pizza dough, brushed it with some olive oil, and put it on my grill. Once crispy, I slathered it with some KC-style BBC sauce, added the shredded pork, the Gorgonzola cheese, and the homerown tomatoes, diced. Back on the grill to get happy.
Once done, sliced it, and it all worked nicely.
In the glass, more Yuengling Lager.
This one had to count. Eagles have a bye next weekend, and for the rest of October, I'll be out of the great USA.
See you in November, football fans!

The original electric Tilt Train could only run as far as Rockhampton because the tracks past there were not electrified. To counter this limitation, a diesel version began development from 1999 that could run to Cairns. In contrast to the Rockhampton Tilt, the Cairns Tilt is a push-pull locomotive based train, although the two are superficially similar in design to the untrained eye.
Cairns Tilt Train features a complete 1x2 Business class seating arrangement. It features in seat audio and visual entertainment, with a TV extending on an arm in the seat. A trolley service is available, and a club car is also available on board this Tilt Train service.

Solandra Grandiflora, more popularly known as Chalice Vine or Cup of Gold, is a perennial fast-growing climbing vine or liana. This vine quickly takes root and grabs onto surrounding vegetation for support. The base stalk is thick, heavy and rope-like. These vines can easily exceed over 100 feet (30 meters) in length. Each node will sprout tendrils and take root, giving the whole plant more stability and a larger root system to improve its ability to access essential nutrients: water, minerals, sunlight, etc. The leaves grow directly from the main stalk and side branches and are uniformly dark green and thick, with a smooth supple texture. They can grow as large as 6 inches (15 cm) in length, 3 inches (7 cm) wide and are oval shaped.
Chalice Vine is well known among gardeners, and is admired for its large ornamental flowers, which are distinctly shaped like bells or chalices. The flowers begin bright, brilliant white and turn yellow with purple or brown stripes inside as the flower ages.The flowers bloom in the evening or night and produce a strong sweet fragrance which smells like coconut. In the wild they produce large yellow, white berries that contain many tiny seeds. As the berries ripen they change color from light yellow to deep red. When Solandra Grandiflora is cultivated as an ornamental, it is usually grown from cuttings and the fruits are rarely if ever seen.
Common names include... Arbol del viento, Bolsa de Judas, Bolute, Chalice vine, Copa de oro, Cup of gold, Cutaquatzitiziqui, Datura maxima, Datura scandens, Datura sarmentosa, Floripondo de monte, Goldcup vine, Golden chalice vine, Goldkeltch, Hueipatl, itzucuatziqui, Kieli, Kieri, Lipa-ca-tu-hue, Ndari, Perilla, Showy chalicevine, Solandra guttata, Solandra herbacea, Solandra hirsute, Swartsia grandiflora, Tecomaxochitl, Tetona, Tima wits, Tree of the wind, Trumpet flower, Tuay Thong, Windbaum, Wind Tree, Xochitecomatl, Solanaceae, Nightshade Family

The unveiling (Groundbreaking) Ceremony for the E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts at Fremont School in midtown Sacramento. Complete with performances by local groups, speeches, and tours of the work in progress. Official opening is planned for January 2016.
---
The expansion of residential suburbs in the 1960’s and 1970’s left our central city with stately but underutilized school facilities. Fremont School is one example - a beautiful brick and terracotta building in the Spanish Revival style on a quiet Midtown street. It had a ‘second life’ as an adult education center, which was has since been shuttered.
After much discussion and negotiation, Fremont School now is slated as the new creative home for Sacramento’s Performing Arts community. The high ceilings and large classrooms have the potential to perfectly suit rehearsal and teaching needs for the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Opera and Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.
There are many technical challenges to adapting an early 20th century non-reinforced masonry building to the needs of 21st century performing arts. We are diving into these challenges with creative energy, confident that this new Studios for the Performing Arts will be a vibrant and creative magnet in the community.

The Alaska Ski for Women is an annual event, held on Super Bowl Sunday, at Kincaid Park in west Anchorage. The 2011 ski was held on 6 Feb 2011 on a bitterly cold day.
The Ski for Women is a big fundraising event with the proceeds going to agencies that specialize in dealing with abuse and violence against women and children.
The ski is part fun and part competition with a lot of cool costumes; there was an incredible turnout considering how cold and windy it was. I was there for a little over two hours and could barely feel my toes and fingers despite being prepared for the cold - but it was definitely worth it.
Good fun for good causes - Alaskan women do rock!
For being such a large city, we were surprised that there weren't more people begging on the streets. Of course, there were a number of people with their hands out, but not that many. This was a statue in front of one of the churches. The hand had a little hole in it that you could drop coins into.
For many years an afternoon service ran to Mosney on the Dublin to Belfast mainline to run round. The station was built to serve the adjacent holiday camp and closed in 2000 when the camp closed.
071 Class no.079 backs onto the train before heading south in October 1996. The station wasn't busy and the door is seen left open for the only passenger...me!

I took this photo of the Howard Street Bridge from the center of the bridge, facing North Avenue. I really liked how with the cylindrical style the road looks like it is stretched open.
