This is my much loved Ferrari Testarossa. Not the real thing, but a prized, die cast and rather rather large 1/8th scale model.
It was made "way back" last century by a company called Pocher, (sadly no longer in business) who made the most amazing and detailed large scale models. This is actually one of the less detailed kits with just over 500 parts. It includes such detail as pop up headlights, fully opening doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk - which is actually at the front of this car, being a rear engined one). The fully working steering wheel is linked to the front wheels and it has full suspension. The engine has amazing detail with real rubber fan belts and the like. It is a treat to view on its own. Inside, the seatbelt material is real, and the gear lever moves through that wonderful chrome slotted H pattern gate. The seats move fore and aft, and even have reclining backrests! It even has a tiny key on a keyring which will unlock and open the doors! Some of the other more detailed vintage models go as far as having working brakes, and have real leather upholstery.
My model is in a bad way and needs some tender loving restoration. Through moving house no less than nine times, it has suffered a little with every pack and unpack. Normally it would have lovely wing mirrors, but both have broken off several times. I still have them but need to do some detailed work to get them back on again.
I will hopefully present it again one day in a better setting and with a little more attention paid to getting the forced perspective right. Here it is in our front garden under the dappled shade of our silver birch tree. In over 30 years of owning this car, this is the first time I have photographed it. I even washed and polished it (with real Meguiar's car polish) just for the occasion! (What a geek!)
Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.
Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.
The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.
Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.
Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.
Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.
No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.
The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.
Recently got back from a trip to Joshua Tree National Park! Love getting down there to explore and enjoy the weather! I went on the Keys Ranch Tour there and it was so cool to see all the old buildings and machines left out there by William Keys. He was a miner of all sorts and has a tiny gold mill on his site. This is some of the machinery that was used to smash the rocks into pieces.

U.S. Route 1
L'US 1 commence officiellement sur Whitehead Street à Key West, à l'intersection avec Fleming Street.
L'U.S. Route 1 (aussi appelée U.S. Highway 1, abrégé en US 1) est une route (highway) des États-Unis qui longe toute la côte est du pays. Partant de Key West à l'extrême sud de la Floride, elle remonte jusqu'à la frontière canadienne dans le Maine. Son tracé a été ensuite repris par l'Interstate 95 qui la longe en grande partie, bien qu'elle s'enfonce plus dans les terres entre Jacksonville (Floride) et Petersbourg (Virginie).

The U.S. Route 1 (also known as U.S. Highway 1, abbreviated as US 1) is a U.S. highway that runs the entire east coast of the country. Starting from Key West in the extreme south of Florida, it goes up to the Canadian border in Maine. Its route was then resumed by Interstate 95 which largely follows it, although it sinks more inland between Jacksonville (Florida) and Petersburg (Virginia).

Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 12/3/20
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - magnificent majestic sails]
History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

Baltimore's Key Bridge from Hawkin's Point. Shot with a 1940s Ansco box camera on Fuji Acros 100, developed in New55's R3 Monobath.
An attempt of high key over exposure of the old pier at Swanage.
Trying the over exposure to blend the sky with the sea to create one backdrop.
The correct exposure with the 10 stop filter would of been 15 sec, but this was exposed at 3 minutes.
Notice the Seagulls on the front posts even during this long exposure.
I've just taken photographs outside of a temple when an old lady stepped to me. She asked me if i wanted to go in, to take more photos. She gave me the keys of the temple and left me there. It's an amazing feeling to be alone in a church.

Morning light bathes this tough bench / picnic table at Fort Armistead overlooking the Patapsco River and the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Stacked on the ND filters to smooth out the water and the clouds ... but the clouds though streaming are not that evident given the contrast and lighting by this time. But it does smooth out the sky there that allows for the sunlit bridge structure to really stick out which I liked in this image.
Backlit emerging spring maple leaves and keys are nicely framed by the soft DoF background of shadow and light on the lake at Pine Grove Park near Liverpool. I placed the leaves and keys in the composition according to the vertical rule of thirds which contributes to the impression of a harmonious aesthetic in the image.
