Number 1 end of preserved British Rail Class 14 'Teddy Bear' 0-6-0 diesel hydraulic locomotive 14901 at the heritage Colne Valley Railway near Castle Hedingham in Essex (UK).
14901 was built at British Railways Swindon Works and entered service as D9524 in December 1964. With an incredibly short service life D9524 was withdrawn from the mainline for use in the private sector in April 1969.
D9524 finally entered preservation In August 1981. The locomotive never wore this 'BR Blue' livery, 14901 TOPS number, twin headcode marker lights or British Rail double arrow logo in service. These have all been added post preservation.
In railway terminology, 14901 is painted in a 'fictitious livery' that has made it to the real thing. Diehard enthusiasts including me will argue all day long of the right and wrongs of locomotive fictitious liveries but in this case, I approve. ;-)

Jaguar XJ220 (1992-94) Engine 3200cc Turbocharged V6 Production 281
Registration Number J 22 OXJ

The XJ220 was produced by Jaguar in conjunction with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) as Jaguar Sport. It held the record as the Worlds Fastest production car until the arrival of the McLaren F1. It began as a pet project of Jaguar chief engineer Jim Randle who envisaged a car to take on the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959, a 4WD car with a mid-mounted V12 engine. Jaguar pressed on with a prototype car that debuted at the 1988 British Motor Show. TWR produced a 6.2ltr. version of the XJR V12 racing engines with 4 valves per cylinder, quad camshafts and a target output of 500bhp, the 4WD system was produced by FF Developments who had built a similar system for the 1960's Jensen FF, the styling was the work of Keith Helfet and included scissor style doors and the name XJ220 was assigned to indicate the projected top speed of 220mph. The prototype was heavier than the racing XJR9 but as a road car this was of little matter.
Officially announced in 1989 with a price of £ 361.000 buyers were required to make a £ 50,000 deposit and to be put on a waiting list.. The production was to be limited to 350 units.
By 1991 the production version was shown to the public, but there had been massive changes. The four wheel drive prototype was now rear wheel drive, the scissor doors had gone and the 6.2ltr. V12 normally aspirated engine was now a 3.5ltr V6 Turbo charged unit
The V12 engine had been judged to difficult to get past more stringent emission rules, the TWR developed V6 engine was based on the engine used in the Austin Metro 6R4 Rally Car and was fitted with a Garrett T3 Turbo generating 542bhp. In spite of the smaller displacement this engine was more powerful than the 6.2ltr.
Worse for the car the 1980's boom period of the Prototype had become the austere 1990's and depositors were sueing for their money back. and despite the new specification the price had increased from £ 361,000 to £ 403.000.
A further complication was that Tom Walkinshaw was offering the more expensive and more exclusive XJR15 based closely on the XJR9 Le Mans winners.
Despite all of this 281 cars were built though a few examples lingered and were sold for around £ 150,000 new for what is today an absolute classic.
The XJ220 is both the fastest and widest Jaguar ever built.
This is the 13 th XJ220 built at Walkinshaws, Bloxham factory. Displayed at Chateau Impney as part of the concoursJ

Ansel Adams used the golden ratio in his photography too:

The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!

At the 2018 Steel in Motion race and car show at Union County Dragway, Union, South Carolina on August 25th, 2018.
Today is my 30th birthday.
At first it seemed rather daunting to turn 30, but the idea is growing on me.
I have lots and lots and lots to be thankful for!
Secret number twelve:
You see my head. You see my feet. Sometimes, you see my boobs. This is what's left. The missing link to all of my pictures. I'm not going to sit here and bash myself. This is me. This is who I am. It's not always easy for me to accept, but it's still me. Take it or leave it.
And no. I am not going golfing. I wear plaid pants whenever possible.
