...and the wooden spoon for takings at the village fete goes to the Egg Toss.
Always interesting to see inside an aircraft that doesn't have the cosmetic make-up of commercial airliners. This is taken from the front of the cargo bay looking towards the cockpit of a Boeing Vertol HH-46 Sea Knight helicopter, registered as N7678F. A Search and Rescue variant of the more common CH-46, she was visiting the Houston Wing of the Commemorative Air Force from The National US Armed Forces Museum. Another photo of the craft is shown below.
Talking to one of the crew, I was somewhat taken aback to learn that being airworthy and with a volunteer crew all ready to fly, the helicopter wasn't able to help with rescues during Hurricane Harvey because she wasn't FAA licensed to carry passengers. I should have asked, but didn't think of it at the time, whether they were able to deploy for sorties dropping supplies? Frankly, if I was stuck on a rooftop surrounded by flood water, I wouldn't have given a monkey's uncle as to whether the chopper had a passenger licence or not.
this roll of film had sat around for ages, i shot it on the beach at Crosby last September and somewhere else as well - but I don't know where.
By special request from Patricia, these are our 'pets'. In this photo they are situated in one of their favourite spots looking out the front window at any comings and goings, keeping an eye on matters whilst we are out and directing any delivery people to leave items in the front porch.
Matriarch and definitely in charge of the family is Lamby. She emigrated from Texas some years ago and brought her pink sunglasses with her. In the foreground is husband Catbus, always with a smile. He is from Japan and Lamby was all of a heart-flutter the moment he came out of the suitcase. Their daughter Lulu always likes to sit between them. They then adopted an orphaned sheep name of Frankie. He is a mischievous little chap who likes to wave his bum in the air - typical adolescent. Behind Frankie, looking dapper in his dark shades is another adoptee, Marcus, Marcus Radishford. They saw he was looking for a good home on ebay and immediately clicked that 'buy it now' button. Finally, Mr. Mouse moved in and made himself at home last year. He's no trouble at all and just likes to be with his new family.
Amsterdam photo of urban art in ceramic tiles - I saw this decoration several times a month for a long period. Suddenly it convinced me to picture it. An unknown wall-decoration of an unknown early graphic designer from Amsterdam, created around the 1980's - made in ceramic tiles. Just a decoration in a small remote alley.
I like the contrasts an the dynamic points of the leave-forms, in the direction to the door.

Another collage by Mrs Kim concentrates on leaving London Heathrow (LHR) best viewed on large size.
Top left : Our United inbound Boeing 'triple' aircraft (N204UA) arrives at the gate for a quick turnaround and a return to Houston IAH as UA4.
Bottom left : Taken from the seatback display, this shows us departing LHR. The eagle-eyed amongst you will note that we are departing in the wrong direction and using the airport's new third runway aka Bath Road. So much for accurate GPS!
Panel right : Thanks to Mr. Finch for grabbing a FR24 screenshot of us heading out on a very northerly track. Yes, I gave my regards to Manchester shrouded beneath the clouds.
“What are you doing here?” the man said in Polish, in the oustskirts of Zabrze. Every time we tried to answer the small Jack Russell dog beside him in his garden interfered, barking loudly. So no explaining that we were seeking adventure behind the sound dampening wall along the road behind us. Here’s a result of pointing and shooting in the man’s neighborhood.
See where this picture was taken.

Another look at deepest Dorset with a bonus landscape for this week. This is the view west from the north side of Eggardon hillfort. Note the bonfire burning in the valley! The flat top of Pilsden Pen hillfort can be seen directly beyond the tower of St Mary the Virgin church in Powerstock. Immediately to the right is Lewesdon hillfort, the highest point in Dorset.

Just as Ninebarrow are our Dorset house band, The Broken Spokes have become our Texas house band. The trip out to Holman Valley Steakhouse was prompted by them playing a gig in the back room dancehall behind the restaurant. It was free entry though I'm pleased to say that when their tips jar was passed round it was full of high value dollar bills.
Everyone seemed to know everyone, locals, band and staff members alike. However, we were very welcome as these strange folk from out of town. Wendee, owner of the establishment, refused to put in air conditioning when refurbishing the hall as she wanted it to be as close to the original as current building codes would allow. So notice the huge wooden shutters that are open behind the band. They allowed airflow through three sides of the old barn building and it worked great!

Sprinkling in a few photos from 8 years ago when we were lucky to visit Malaysia for 5 weeks. We stayed with K's daughter who lived in Kuala Lumpur at the time.
The Soviet idea of a modern shopping centre: two or three floors with outside stairs. Here still in use as a Chinese supermarket for cheap kitsch - and there's a lot of it.

Gorton loco shed in summer 1959, with MR/LMS Johnson 1F 41702 - built in 1880 - between two GCR/LNER Robinson C14 4-4-2Ts, with 67450 on the left..
41702 was withdrawn in June 1962, and scrapped in February 1962. One 'half-cab' example of the class, which worked at Staveley Ironworks until 1965, has survived, and is currently at Barrow Hill.
67450 was withdrawn in January 1960, and scrapped one month later. None of the class survived into preservation..
Gorton shed closed in May 1965, and the site is now a wholesale market.
Restored from an unfocussed, very grainy, blue-colour-shifted, original..

A first test to upload an image directly from my phone via Darkslide.
This was taken at the Museum Sinsheim with my DSLR. RAW file processed in Lightroom.
Good take-off into the week-end :-)

GN Suburban 'slam door' carriages vanishing down the tunnel to the 'widened lines' and Moorgate, from York Road, Kings Cross, in 1976.
The LT 'trip cock' can be seen to the right of the rails, below the signal.
These services ended in November 1976, and some parts of this tunnel are currently still in use, for cabling.
At 15 feet long I've not seen one shorter, it could also be the widest.
Unless of course you know better ;-p
BR Waggon und Maschinenbau railbus E79963 - with E79960 on the left and B12 61572 on the rght - on the North Norfolk Railway at Sheringham station in the late '60s - early '70s. The railbus is still in as-withdrawn BR condition, with the 'Condemned' cross daubed on the side.
The NNR have kept E79960, but E79963 was sold to the East Anglian Railway Museum in 2012.
Today, E79963 is being overhauled at the EARM, and 61572 has completed its latest overhaul, and is now back in LNER green, and was seen here at Sheringham in March 2014:

Which one should my 1000th public photo on Flickr be? I gave it some consideration and thot: “It should be graphic” but that doesn’t hardly narrow things down does it? An additional criteria was callled for: “Cheerful”. OK but still not enough to make chosing easy . Then: “enterily New in terms of my Flick portfolio”. Ah yes getting closer now. “Meaningful” OK, sure, and since it’s almost suppertime I added “Fresh and tasty”. That nailed it ;-)
Thanx my friends for your attention, appreciation and inspiring words these almost 2,5 Flickr years!!
Xoriatiki (Choriatiki) on translated menu’s also known as farmer’s salad (and that’s kinda strange since “chora” means town), Greek salad and traditional salad.
This one was really delicious, one of the prime ingredients, the olives and the olive oil, were from Kalamata and that’s thé quality hot spot of the Greek olive. You can recognize the Kalamata olives by its elongated form. Shot on the terrace of Lela’s Taberna in Kardamyli (Mani, Pelponessos)
