'I'm hoping that we get along.
It's time for innovation,
It's time for us to make a change.
It's time for a Chinese new year,
It's time for me to make a way.'

The Industrial Revolution bought lots of innovation to many sectors. The large steam driven flywheels, traction engines and trains have given way to electrified trains and then individual cars. The size of components have shrunk and hopefully, with modern electric cars fewer components and greater efficiency promises.
During the various stages of the Industrial Revolution there were people who severely resisted change. We are in another moment at this time both politically and socially. Unfortunately, nostalgia may not help meet the challenges ahead. History, though can bring interesting perspectives.
The photo is a montage of a model train & railway and various flywheels used. HMMM

The Advanced Passenger Train programme was all about creating a world beating tilting train for the future, without having to spend billions on new dedicated track for high speed running. It should have followed in the steps of the HST, and put the UK in the forefront of railway innovation. It was scrapped, and the technology sold to the Italians who produced, the Pendolino! Scrapped by a government who lacked backbone and vision, and a hostile press who excelled in the maxim of not letting un truths get in the way of a good story. Nothing new there then, you may say? During its short life in scheduled service, No. 370003 speeds through Lichfield Trent Valley with a Glasgow Central to London Euston service on 19th April 1985.

Rano Raraku, Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Chile.
Rano Raraku is a volcanic crater formed of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, and located on the lower slopes of Terevaka in the Rapa Nui National Park on Easter Island in Chile. It was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the island's known monolithic sculptures (moai) were carved. Rano Raraku is a visual record of moai design vocabulary and technological innovation, where 887 moai remain. Rano Raraku is in the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park and gives its name to one of the seven sections of the park.
The incomplete statues in the quarry are remarkable both for their number, for the inaccessibility of some that were high on the outside crater wall and for the size of the largest; at 21.6 m (71 feet) in height, almost twice that of any moai ever completed and weighing an estimated 270 tonnes, many times the weight of any transported.
Some of the incomplete moai seem to have been abandoned after the carvers encountered inclusions of very hard rock in the material.
Others may be sculptures that were never intended to be separated from the rock in which they are carved.

Not sure about this. Never seen such a kitt on a Hyundai before. Perhaps it called Galloper just like in the Netherlands. But only a badge with a horse was at the car.
Platform 6 at Purley station has recently gained three posters celebrating people who had local connections to Purley and Croydon. The posters are titled 'Welcome to Purley, Croydon', 'Innovate' and 'Inspire' and celebrate Amy Johnson, Samuel Coleride-Taylor and William Jessop.
The artworks were commissioned by Purley Business Improvement District and were made by local artists Kevin Zuchowski-Morrison, Dan Cimmermann and Morgan Davy.
Amy Johnson achieved worldwide recognition when, on 5th May 1930, she became the first woman to fly solo from the now closed Croydon Airport to Australia. Flying G-AAAH Jason, she landed at Darwin, Northern Territory on 24 May.
The composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was brought up in Croydon. He studied at the Royal College of Music. After completing his degree, Taylor became a professional musician, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducting the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire.
In 1801 Civil Engineer William Jessop was appointed Chief Engineer of the horse drawn Surrey Iron Railway from Wandsworth to Croydon. In 1803 the next phase of tramway was authorised south from Croydon towards Merstham and Godstone. Jessop was again appointed Chief Engineer. The line reached Mestham but was never continued to Godstone.

Ship graveyard at Camaret-sur-Mer, Crozon Peninsula, Brittany, France
Some background information:
Since its foundation, the harbour town Camaret-sur-Mer in the Breton department of Finistère is defined as a port of refuge. "Le Sillon" (in English: "The groove"), a pier which stretches out into the sea, protects ships and boats from the northwestern winds by its shape and its central position.
Since the end of the 19th century and all over the prosperous years of Camaret fishing activity, numerous shipyards settled their activity along "Le Sillon". The know-how and innovation ability of the local shipwrights brought the port town European maritime renown. However, from the 1950’s, fishing fell into a sustained crisis. All ships, formerly dedicated to sardine and spiny lobster fisheries, were left alongside "Le Sillon" through lack of buyers. Today eight vestiges of that epic maritime past are remaining alongside the pier.
The ship graveyard is located down by the Vauban Tower and the chapel Notre Dame de Rocammadour, The whole place is an area of outstanding cultural and natural beauty from which numerous artists draw their inspiration. The Vauban Tower next to the ship graveyard is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Fortifications of Vauban".This 18m-high polygonal defensive tower flanked by walls was designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban in 1689.
On 18th June 1694, in the Battle of Camaret, Vauban himself was in command of the garrison at Vauban Tower when they repelled an Anglo-Dutch attack. The battery and its two guard houses, which were only armed with nine 24-pounder cannons and three mortars at that time, put several British vessels out of action. On land, a charge by French dragoons scattered the British troops that had landed, and the local militia helped to complete the victory.
But back to the ship graveyard: The two ships on my picture are the "Etoile du Berger" on the left (in English "Evening Star") and the "Maitena" on the right. The "Etoile du Berger" was launched in Camaret-sur-Mer in 1956. It has a length of more than 18 metres and a width of more than six metres. The vessel was originally built for fishing white tuna, but was later repurchased for fishing crabs and lobsters. In 2010, it was decommissioned and brought to "Le Sillon". The "Maitena" was launched in Rostellec in 1964. It has a length of 22.6 metres and a tonnage of almost 163 GRT. After fishing lobsters and tunas off the coast of Mauritania, the ship was repurchased to fish crabs. In 2001, it was decommissioned and left to the municipality of Camaret-sur-Mer.
The harbour town of Camaret-sur-Mer has about 2,500 residents and is located at the western end of the Crozon Peninsula. The alignment of Lagatjar within the municipal area proves that it was already an important place in the megalithic era. Lagatjar once comprised more than 600 menhirs, of which 75 are remaining. In the late Middle Ages Camaret was a major harbour town and a stopover for many tall ships. To protect these ships from pirate attacks Pope Paul II issued a bull in 1470, by which he declared all attackers excommunicated.
In the 17th century, due to the maritime war against Great Britain, King Louis XIV of France, tried to strengthen the defensibility of important harbour towns like Saint-Malo, Lorient, Morlaix, Brest and also Camaret. Responsible for the construction of defence works was Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, who also planned the Vauban Tower to protect the bay of Camaret. The tower proved its defensibility at the Battle of Camaret, which I have already mentioned above.
In the 19th century, fishing of sardines produced some wealth in the town of Camaret-sur-Mer. The waterside promenade was enhanced and more and more two-storey buildings were built. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, the distribution of sardines in the area decreased and therefore the local fishermen had to find a different way to earn their bread and butter. The solution was lobstering and the haul of langoustines. But Camaret-sur-Mer also became a major location of shipyards for fishing smacks. In the middle of the 20th century, not less than ten shipyards satisfied the demand for vessels for lobstering. Today, Camaret-sur-Mer is still a fishing port, but its harbour hosts many yachts now too. Besides, it is also a place popular among visitors from far and wide.
Mit einer Länge von 400 m wirklich sehr lang. Zur Zeit ist es wohl das drittgrößte Containerschiff der Welt. Ob die Größe aber nach Länge oder nach der Menge der zu transportierenden Container geht, kann ich nicht sagen.
INNOVATION
One might be forgiven in thinking that diesel and electric traction first appeared on Britain's railways in the 1950s, after all it was the Modernisation Plan of 1955 which ushered in the era of diesel multiple units (D.M.Us.) along with diesel and electric locomotives which were intended to replace steam. But one would be wrong. Even before World War Two the Southern Railway (S.R.) had electrified some of its system in South-East England such that even the famous Brighton Belle was electric powered from 1933. The London Midland and Scottish Railway (L.M.S.) had diesel shunters in the 1930s and in 1947, in one of its last acts before nationalisation, introduced two diesel express locomotives numbered 10000 and 10001
The Great Western Railway (G.W.R.) began experimenting with diesel railcars in 1933 some of which found their way onto the West Midlands system. Originally resplendent in G.W.R. colours of 'Chocolate and Cream' they were, following nationalisation, converted to carmine (red) and cream. Unit W14W, shown here at Dudley, will have travelled from Birmingham Snow Hill via the main Wolverhampton Low Level line before diverging at Swan Village. Such units also used to run along the entire length of the Seven Valley line from Shrewsbury to Kidderminster before, in truncated form it become a heritage railway. Strange perhaps that they had all gone by the time dieselization had got under way in earnest. They were ahead of their time. They didn’t need to be shunted to the opposite end of a set of coaches to make a return trip or turned on a turntable, the driver just got off his cab at one end of the unit and drove back from the cab at the other end. So simple,why wasn't it thought of before? It was, in 1933.
