After the devastation of floods and associated landslides in this region of southern India, work was then underway to restore the mountain roads, in what can only be described as 'Very Manual Labour'!

The brand new lens from new lensmaker Viltrox - the 20mm F1.8 ASPH - is a suprisingly strong performer on a lot of levels. It does have some flaws, but it extremely sharp over most of the frame wide open and over essentially all of the frame by F2.8. It's somewhat big and heavy, but has great mechanical operation and a clever filtering solution. Downside? It's manual focus only and without electronics, though not for everyone. Still, if you have a Sony full frame mirrorless camera, you might want to consider the Viltrox 20mm F1.8 You can see my coverage of the lens here:

I am 35 years old, just old enough that I look in the mirror and see the early stages of aging. It raises some interesting thoughts about mortality and coming to grips with the fact that change is inevitable. We face a choice - do we desperately grasp for lost youth or learn to embrace the person we are becoming? (P.S. Philosophical discussions aside...I needed a test subject for an old lens that I am trying to clear from haze...it is obviously working!)
Technical info: Canon EOS 60D, Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 M42 manual focus lens @f/2, processed in Adobe Lightroom 3, toned in Alien Skin Exposure, signature added in Photoshop CS5. All natural light from a french door behind the camera.

Please Note: This is a redesigned booklet. It was redesigned by an Australian called Xerocorp. It therefore has "British-isms", spelling differences from how the CIA would spell some words. The original (with 'American-isms') can be found here: geocities.com/eco-action/crapaganda/xcia.htm
Here is the online text that comes with the redesigned booklet:
The original document on which this one is based was a sabotage manual produced by the United States Central Intelligence Agency for distribution in Nicaragua in the 1980’s. It was hoped that if enough disenfranchised individuals undertook activities that subverted economic stability, the Leftist government would be more easily overthrown. The manual described itself as “a practical guide to... paralyzing the military-industrial complex... without having to use special tools and with minimal risk for the combatant.”
It continues, “Some might think that today’s armed struggle requires military supplies and economic resources only available to states or terorist bands... There is an essential economic infrastructure that any government needs to function, which can easily be disabled or even paralyzed without the use of armaments or costly and advanced equipment, with the small investment of resources and time.
The folowing pages present a series of useful sabotage techniques, the majority of which can be done with simple household tools such as scissors, empty botles, screwdrivers, matches, etc. These measures are extremely safe and without risk for those who use them, as they do not require equipment, skill or specialized activities that can draw attention to the doer.
One combatant can perform many of them, without having to turn to collaborators or having to make a detailed plan beforehand. These are acts that can be done practically in an improvised way every time an occasion presnts itself. Our sacred cause needs to have more men and women join its ranks in order to perform these sabotage tasks. However, necessary caution should be taken, and only when the task requires it, should another person or persons participate in or have knowledge of a given act.”
While the original document was intended to facilitate subversion of the Nicaraguan government, the techniques may be applied to any other state or ‘military-industrial complex’ with which the individual is aggrieved. NB: not only are some of these activities illegal, but encouraging people to engage in them is also illegal. With this in mind, this text is presented as a snapshot of the cold war mentality of intelligence agencies, and not as a practical guide to acts of sabotage.
Found this old Ford F-250 Truck, from the days of manual labour when opening or closing your window took a little elbow grease.

A small, manually operated Level Crossing. The two gates are controlled by a simple cable system passing under the track and controlled by a pulley inside the house.
It can be enlarged to bypass a double track , adjusting the cable lenght of the outer gate.

I was delighted to see this Big French car on the streets of Paris, during their time they were very popular in Paris, however their newer and current equivalents, the Peugeot 607 and Citroen C6 struggle against Mercedes and Audi which are very common. This one is with the 5 Speed Manual gearbox and very likely a 2.0 Turbo engine ( i am not sure), they did have a V6 option. This 605 model of the Peugeot were never common in London during their time
Little knowledge is dangerous. This shows how important to read the manuals.
Precaution: Don't follow this one, parental guidance is advised.
York-built two-car BR Class 150 DMU 150 113 close to its birthplace as it approaches Hessay level crossing whilst forming the 08.29 Leeds-York via Harrogate service. In the background, Marston Moor box and its semaphores are visible. Manual signalling will end on this route when the new powerbox (or LNE Regional Operations Centre) at York comes on stream.
