The Nissan Prairie could be said to be pretty much the first purpose build MPV, first going on sale in Europe in 1981. Originally branded Datsun, the Nissan name was applied after 1985. The original design of vehicle was also groundbreaking in that it did not have a B pillar between the front and rear doors, both doors locking into the roof. Whilst an innovative idea, motoring reviewers of the day suggested that this design caused a worrying flex of the body when cornering at speed, and so it was redesigned for the 1986 model revision. These vehicles were a favourite on the late 80's school runs of my youth, taking over from the likes of the Talbot Rancho and Volvo 240 as middle class child movers - they were contemporaries of the Volvo 740 estate and early Renault Espace models outside the Home Counties school gate. The vehicle shown here appears to be a late Series 1 model, first registered in September 1985 and featuring the aforementioned lack of B pillar, allowing full access to both sides which has led to it's continued use as a load lugger for a neighbourhood cycle store. According to the DVLA MOT check this vehicle has spent some time off the road after a pretty disasterous MOT fail in 2010 the rectification of which no doubt involved considerable amounts of underbody welding. Noted also several times is 'passenger seats removed' indicating it's continued use as a load lugger.
The title came to me the instant I saw these blue palettes piled high on the small loading dock of a local grocery store.
Loads from the Toyota Tundra truck plant come off the Corpus Christi Sub and on to the Austin Sub in downtown San Antonio behind clean power. September 2017.
Perhaps not that photogenic but I was pleased to finally get some shots at the loading bay at Gwuan-Cae-Gurwen (GCG). 66026 has just arrived from Immingham with empty hoppers on the 4V32 to load up with anthracite. It will take about 2.5 hours to load the train which will return to Immingham on the 6E09. Poignant, as this this is one of the last trains to GCG now that the coal reserves are near depletion.

This plant was buzzing with both honey bees and white tailed bumble bees on Thursday at Rowallane Gardens. Good to clock it as a good bee plant that i hadnt known about and to get to add a new entry to my Honey bees on named flowers set!
...And also for adding eventually to the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

Technicians load cargo into the Cygnus space in the Horizontal Integration Facility Friday, July 14, 2023, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 19th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver more than 8,200 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The CRS-19 Cygnus spacecraft is named after NASA astronaut Dr. Laurel Clark who flew aboard Columbia STS-107, and is scheduled to launch at 8:31 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023.

Lightning strikes under my fingers, signs of death before my birth. There's a blueness between the world and me, a glassy vision of cloudy wisdom, and raindrops in the words. You just might catch a syllable sighing, splashing on the surface, hoping to worm its way in. The world out here is just crying for contrast, a little something growing out of the grey. Green is slow with no worry for rushing, and I'm treading familiar ground on the old shore road. Mystery is a heavy load, but it's far better than having all the answers, and I've got near to none. I'm just stumbling to where time is coming along.

The first of two 300 ton loads approaching Buckholt Lane roundabout nearing the end of their 2 day journey from Shoreham to Potmans Lane electrcity substation.

The level of football may not be that high, but the joy of scoring a goal in driving rain is no different.
To find a photograph to showcase the life (it is ok to say human interest, I guess ) at Chang La in Ladakh is kind of difficult. Most passengers enroute to Pangong Tso halt briefly at the top of the pass and pose in front of the bright markers showcasing the height of the pass and the fact that it is the world's 2nd highest motorable one at that.
A pity I missed being the subject of that horrendous "I have been there" photograph.
We are digressing. On the way back to Leh from the deeply serene and cold Pangong Tso lake, one must climb up the northern face of the mountain chain to reach the Chang La.
On the top there is that obligatory military temple, the road and height markers and tinned hutted rooms in green with the ever efficient Army people manning them to offer tea and medical aid to anyone who stops there. I was fortunate, I stopped over and was amazed to be offered cashews, almonds and biscuits with piping hot tea. I wonder if all passengers get that dry fruity treatment at Chang La. I guess not.
While there, I espied this tall gentleman bent almost double under the weight of the full gunny sack on his back. While he walked briskly in the rarifed air with that load, I was having trouble putting four steps in one straight line without faltering.
I attracted his attention and made him stop in his progress and this was shot as he looked up in my direction to find out which lunatic was shouting at him and why. Then the thick scarf / muffler came off the face with the left hand and the biggest beaming bountiful smile passed his visage.
You wonder how he can smile with that big one while you yourself can barely manage to work your face muscles into a scowl. One wonders how is it possible to carry such a huge load at that altitude. Ponder not too much on that mystery of superhuman feat, just enjoy. The answer to that my brother is ... It aint Heavy, it is just snow and ice.
The gentleman owns 3 donkeys and they are used daily for collecting fresh snow and ice from the mountainside and brought to this military detatchment for water supply. The donkeys for working their ass off at 17500 feet get paid Rs 13k per month/per donkey and the owner also gets paid the same amount but he is no ass. He surely is laughing all the way to the bank.
( That said, the sack full of snow and ice is not light at all. It would be beyond me to lift it off the ground, forget about merrily whistling and striding away at 17500 feet)

Utilizing my Nick Bluetooth Galidor figure, I have made my Power Loader into the ultimate Xenomorph killing machine!
Don't think of Nick as Nick, think of him just as a normal person wielding the Power Loader to fight a Xeno Queen!
This was just a scrap, I LOVE the outcome though!

Met with the homies today. Some content is coming, but you gotta hold on just a bit longer.

Pirate Harbour - I wanted to make a MOC with the Figbarfs, I made for the PotC Competition at Roguebricks. It should have been a small one, it turned out a little big bigger :) Hope you guys like it.
