Citroën DS 21 injection électronique (1969-1972)
"A 190 km/h, vous avez le choix entre le gaspillage et la DS 21 à injection électronique"
Août 1969, La première voiture française à injection électronique est commercialisée : C’est la DS 21 IE. L’association de la presse automobile française lui attribue son “prix de la sécurité”, loin devant la NSU RO 80, la Renault 16, la Volvo 144 et la Renault 12.
Ses performances égalent les Alfa-Romeo 1750 et Bmw 2000, elle les surclasse en tenue de route et comportement routier (...)

Hard roads and endless lines flow through his veins
Cold steel and hot fuel injected 's the dream that fills his brain
But no, not slow, the speed fever grows
He rides, he sees, he knows
You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Feel the flames burn inside
And though you know, you ride to hide
You ride to live to ride
Life's short and goes too fast, most pages burn
Don't wait, the end's too near, some people never learn
You all won't fall, the road fever calls
So run or fly, don't crawl
You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Triumph TR6 ('73-'74?)
Triumph TR6 History (1969-1976)
Offered as an affordable, six-cylinder sports car, the first Triumph TR6 rolled off the production line in 1968 as a 1969 model. It's intended target was to rival similar sports cars at the time, and although most were designed with sleek, curved lines, the TR6 was squared off at both ends, making it stand out from it's competitors. With just a seven year production span, the TR6 grew to become a true British classic.
The Triumph TR6 was offered as a convertible only, with a factory steel hard top available optionally. Construction was conservative; the body was bolted onto the frame, which featured a front anti-roll bar, rack and pinion steering, and semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension. Disc brakes were fitted at the front with drum brakes at the rear. The iconic look of the TR6 was completed by very distinctive 15-inch wheels and tires.
TR6 Engine Specs
The UK market TR6 had Lucas mechanical fuel-injection (150-horsepower), while the US market TR6 was fitted with a carbureter (104-horsepower). In 1973, the UK fuel-injected version was de-tuned to 125-horsepower through a camshaft change and revised fuel injection metering. These changes made the TR6 engine smoother and more flexible.
The base transmission was a manual 4-speed gearbox. An optional overdrive unit was available, and gave drivers close gearing for aggressive driving, with overdrive available on 2nd, 3rd and top gears on early models.
Acceleration from the 2.5 litre six-cylinder engine was quick; 0-60 mph in just 8.2 seconds. Equally impressive was a top speed of 120 mph.
The Triumph TR6 remained in production for a relatively short period of time, but has became one of the most popular and instantly recognizable cars in the company's stable. Most of the TR6 sales were in the U.S. - of the 94,619 models produced, 86,249 were exported, with just 8,370 sold in the U.K.

Gila Monster: Beads, Burrows, and Bite
One of only two venomous lizards in North America (the other’s in Mexico), the Gila Monster lumbers through the Southwest like it owns the desert—which it kind of does.
It doesn’t strike—it gnaws to inject venom. Yes, chews. Slowly. While you rethink your life choices.
It spends most of its time underground, emerging to snack on eggs, hatchlings, and the occasional unlucky rodent.
I photographed this one drinking at a pond and then strolling off like it had a reservation somewhere cooler. It never rushed. Why would it? Legends don’t run.
Now an item of family memorabilia, having been acquired by my father in 1942, while training to become an RAF pilot, in Penhold, Alberta, Canada.

This is a slightly younger squash bug than I recently uploaded. Yakima County, Washington. I seem to find them late in the evening when there is poor light for photography. They like to keep moving so getting sharp shots in poor light is a challenge.
Both adults and nymphs damage squash and pumpkin plants by sucking juices out of the leaves. The leaves then lose nutrients and water, become speckled, then yellow, then brown, and finally, the plant totally wilts and dies. The squash bug also injects a toxin that expedites the plant's withering and death. I barely have them under control. Controlling them takes daily examination of the underside of leaves and stems and removal of eggs, nymphs and adults.

The Chinese Wall in the ceter of the photo is a volcanic dike in Wapiti Valley west of Cody Wyoming that cuts through Eocene sedimentary and volcanics rocks. Dikes form as lava is injected into the fractures the host rock and then solidify. In the volcanic areas like the Absarokas these dikes radiate in swarms out from volcanic eruptive centers. The Chinese Wall radiates out from a volcanic center north of Wapiti Valley.
Since my childhood, I have always looked for the Wall on any trip up the North Fork, usually on my way to Yellowstone National Park. It stood by itself on the beautiful north side of the valley. But recently (in the past 10 years), ranches have been sold, land subdivided and homes are starting to clutter Wapiti valley. Even on the northside of the valley, a couple of homes encroach on the Chinese Wall.
How wonderfully civil; melt in the mouth butter shortbreads waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree, accompanied by a nice cup of tea.
I make butter shortbreads each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Since I started working part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year I made ten trays of shortbread biscuits, so around one hundred and fifty shortbread biscuits, made with a recipe almost one hundred years old, each injected with just a bit of love to the recipients.
Merry Christmas and bon appétit!

The lesser yellow-headed vulture is the lightest and smallest of the extant New World vultures despite sometimes measuring at least as long and longer winged than black vultures. It feeds on carrion and locates carcasses by sight and by smell, an ability shared with turkey vultures but which is rare in birds. They locates carrion by detecting the scent of ethyl mercaptan, a gas produced by the beginnings of decay in dead animals. The olfactory lobe of its brain responsible for processing smells is particularly large compared to other animals. This characteristic of New World vultures has been used by humans: ethyl mercaptan is injected into pipelines, and engineers looking for leaks then follow the foraging vultures
It is dependent on larger vultures, such as the king vulture, to open the hides of larger animal carcasses as its bill is not strong enough to do this. Like other New World vultures, the lesser yellow-headed vulture utilizes thermals to stay aloft with minimal effort. It lays its eggs on flat surfaces, such as the floors of caves, or in the hollows of stumps.

Hi There!
There's really not much to say ... I don't know what kind of insects they are, but in my mind's eye, they are a little creepy looking.
Info Update: Linda Martin tipped me off that these aliens might be Ambush Bugs. She is correct, they are Ambush Bugs! They are in a subfamily of Assassinbugs called Phymatinae.
Here is some info from Bugwood Wiki:
"Life History and Habits: Ambush bugs are predators of other insects and occasionally spiders. They lie in wait on plants and hunt by ambush, capturing prey that comes within range and injecting paralyzing saliva through their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Ambush bugs may be forage among leaves but most commonly wait among flowers for passing flies, bees and wasps that visit (Figure 3). Ambush bugs can be most easily found by examining yellow flowers (e.g., goldenrod, rabbitbrush) and white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer."

With just a pinch and a dash
instilled silence beyond the Ash
Parus caeruleus play the tune
recalling a twilight's tribune
a mood so completely overthrown
by operatives as yet unknown
handle me with care I know-
not what the future will bestow
in it's subtitled timelessness;
driven to distraction and numbness
a cold raining down of sobriety
revamps the shivers so sharply
this tingling, sensationally borderline
from morbidity and a life divine
give in or give up is optically offered
at the end of a needle, nothing bettered
in the hours upon days I await
for it is still the weeks I cannot translate
into the simplified language of today
words to fit the here and now please say
something to ease and allay my fears
paralyses keep me walking in mind
only Iberian chillouts, music enshrined
keep me going as the athlete of hope
for I'm a surgical-citizen 'walking' a tightrope
in time that isn't on my side, nor in my presence
so it's to Nature that I seek Her finest treatments.

So a big departure from my people shots to the world of modern structures and abstract photography.
Nottingham is a great place but doesn't have the skyscrapers of London. We have a few of the modern style glass structures though. This is the Trinity Building which is located in the centre of the city.
Taken today on a sweltering sunny Tuesday I've used a high contrast process and messed around with the colour mix to change the look and feel of the black and white. Hopefully this has injected some drama in to the composition.
.
Yesterday we were at Presbyterian Hospital in surgical waiting. My sister's husband had his hand close to a fuel injection line that blew and ended up with diesel fuel injected into him.
Needed surgical debridement.
I wish the door into this patio was unlocked, but I think the reflections actually are okay.
After color boosting and increasing hue contrast in Ps LAB mode, then overlay blur layers and variants of Orton style layers, I had to slide everything back a bit to be able to look myself in the mirror...
:-)
Happy Sliders Sunday!
And the brother-in-law's hand is doing better but he might still lose part of a finger and has lots of antibiotic in his near future.
All-in-all, this past week has been a bit rubbish, heartbreakingly traumatic funeral, follow-up hospital visit after surgery on my foot (thanks, chemo) and a healthy dose of poison via canula. I am grateful that this weird drug has been invented and that I'm able to have it, so many in the United Kingdom are denied this treatment because they're caught up in the post code lottery, but it's still tough having it. I am achy in my bones and really longing for a chilled glass of wine, but we don't have any in the house so it'll be a long longing...
Oh what fun we had, you can see by the look on Seth's face, this is the technical bit !!!!!
Who had the most fun?... Seth or Pops
