The original Mini Cooper was launched in 1961 as a sporty and competition based car, the normal Mini 848cc engine was given a longer stroke to increase capacity to 997 cubic centimetres increasing power from 34 to 55bhp. The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. One thousand units of this version were commissioned by management, intended for and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing. The 997 cc engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the "S", was developed in tandem and released in 1963. Featuring a 1071 cc engine with further tuning and a 1275cc version followed. The Cooper name was dropped by BMC in 1971.
A new updated Mini Cooper named the RSP (Rover Special Products) was briefly relaunched in 1990–1991, with slightly lower performance than the 1960s Cooper. It proved popular and a new Cooper-marked Mini went into full production in late 1991. From 1992, Coopers were fitted with a fuel-injected version of the 1,275 cc engine, and in 1997 a multi-point fuel injected engine was introduced, along with a front-mounted radiator and various safety improvements.

Copy Number 1 of the first edition of Ulysses, as published by Shakespeare and Company. It contains an inscription from Joyce to Harriet Shaw Weaver and was dated the 2nd of February 1922 - the date of publication. Weaver donated it to the National Library of Ireland 30 years later.
The photo was taken in the Museum of Literature, Ireland - a partnership between UCD and the National Library of Ireland. An autographed first edition of Ulysses, I believe, is the most expensive book of the 20th century.
3 is my favorite number!
Dont ask me why. But it is.
I was pretty inspirationless today but I was playing pool in our sunroom and decided to make a rainbow out of my favorite pool balls (solids...I hate stripes!) and take a DOF picture. It kinda sucks though.
Oh well. I liked the colors.
Keep the faves coming!
The title refers to the fact that this was taken on a flight from Cairns to Darwin heading west. We left the ground just after the sun had set but after a quick climb to nearly 30,000 feet, we caught the sun up again!
This was taken in 1988, in the good old days when you could ask the hostess nicely if you could pay a visit to the pilots in the cockpit. They even kindly allowed me to take a photo. Can you imagine being able to do that now? The plane is possibly a Boeing 737 / 300. It was an Ansett Airlines flight (now part of history as they ceased operation in 2001). I would imagine being 35 years on from this that the average cockpit would look very different as this was the time of real instruments, dials and switches rather than modern touchscreens.
I did post this many years ago, but it was a poor quality scan. This one has turned out much better.
Original colour slide was taken with a Pentax Zoom 70 using Kodachrome 100 slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 fitted with a Canon RF35mm macro lens.
Just what I like, an old shop front with some original signage. I did see some pics from 10+ years ago and it was some sort of retro clothing shop. They didn't mess around with the signage though.

Only slightly damaged this one still good enough to take I think it was off a polo or something from memory

Designed by John Ravenscroft the Chimaera is a two seat Roadster, the car uses the same backbone chassis as the Griffiths and used the same derivatives of the Rover V8 engines of 4, 4.3, 4.5 and 5 litre. The Chimaera was intended as the long distance tourer of the range, and as such is longer, more spacious and slightly softer sprung than its sister cars.
The Chimaera was originally intended to replace the Griffith but sufficient demand for both of the models led TVR continuing them, the Chimaera was given a mid-life facelit for 1996 updates, included a rear bumper shared with the Cerbera, push button doors with the buttons located under the wing mirrors, a boot lid shared with the Cerbera and the replacement of the front mesh grille with a horizontal bar. The GKN differential was also replaced by a BTR unit. a 4.5 litre was included in the line up from 1997

When I had this idea in mind, I actually wasn't going to use the number 23. 23 was my sister's idea. I used the leftover blood from my previous blood scene. Does the blood look real? It wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. Partly because when I cleaned the previous day I used bleach.
My sister is supposed to look like she's crazy, writing the number 23 all over the walls. We laughed the entire time we shot this. These didn't turn out how I wanted them to.

Vought delivered this Corsair, Bureau of Aeronautics serial number 50375, to the Navy on April 26, 1944. By October, pilots of VF-10 were flying it but in November, the airplane was transferred to VF-89 at Naval Air Station Atlantic City. It remained there as the squadron moved to NAS Oceana and NAS Norfolk. During February 1945, the Navy withdrew the airplane from active service and transferred it to a pool of surplus aircraft stored at Quantico, Virginia. In 1980, NASM craftsmen restored the F4U-1D in the colors and markings of a Corsair named "Sun Setter," a fighter assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-114 when that unit served aboard the "USS Essex" in July 1944.
This old post card depicts a scene I have never seen. Apart from the strangeness of the antique bathing costumes, there's the sheer number of people in water. More on that later. What's completely new to me is the rope line that extends from the shore to the breakers. It seems to have been intended to help bathers make their way to and from the beach and stay upright at the same time. Whether it did any good or whether it was even necessary, I cannot say.
I've seen enough late 19th and early 20th century photos and illustrations of the beach here to conclude that the shore today is depopulated in comparison with the beach in its heyday.
These days, even at the height of summer people just don't spend much time on the sands or in the water.
Signs warning of dangerous currents and widespread coverage of drownings might be responsible for keeping people out of the waves. On the other hand, some people, especially young males, seem to love living dangerously. Even they aren't present here.
What accounts for the change? Until the 1920s, when cars became widely adopted and roads were built to connect Portland to the Oregon coast, the only beaches that were readily accessible to most Portlanders were on this peninsula. The crowds who disembarked from the paddlewheeler included wives and their children who would remain here for the summer while their husbands returned to the city.
In a time before motion pictures, if people wanted to see the living ocean they had to come to it. Then, as now, the ocean had a mesmerizing effect on the public. The well-dressed Victorian men and women who were captured on film or in art strolling along the water's edge must have found the people-watching as interesting as the endless motion of the waves.
Frank and I are part of a handful of people who wade in the waves. The conditions have to be just right. First, the tide must be coming in. Secondly, the ocean must be fairly calm, with no waves breaking where we plan to wade. Next, it must be sunny. Last, but certainly not least, the water temperature must be bearable.
It's this final criterion that's the most variable of the lot. August and September are the only months when we'd even consider taking a dip. However, even then water temperatures can change from one day to the next. If the first step into the water is painful, there's no point in going in any deeper.
One should never attempt to swim in these waters or wade any deeper than one's hips.
