Dungeness Upper Trail in Sequim WA. Beautiful trail with all kinds of wild crazy mushrooms. I half expected to see Leprechauns running thru this forest it is so lush. :-)
I recently completed a 1 to 100 project where the idea was to take a photo of objects displaying every number from 1 to 100. It was a lot harder than it sounds and I had to create many of the subjects. Here is number 32. I had a lot of fun doing this and recommend dreaming up projects like this to stimulate creativity.
KEYBOARD BUTTONS is the topic for the 31st of May 2011 (see description)

The Royal Aircraft Factory (RAF) was the new name in 1912 for the Army Balloon Factory, by then under civilian control. They produced a number of successful designs in WW1, of which this, the 'Scout Experimental 5a', was by far the best. The SE 5a, which entered service in 1917, has been described as the Spitfire of WW1, as it was both fast and manoeuvrable. Lead designer was Henry Folland, a famous name in British Aviation.
Although several flying replicas have been built, the one in this picture is an original - I think the only flyable original out of the 5,000 or so built - and is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden aerodrome in England.
Probably the most fascinating number of all time. Every person in this world is in the number game and wants to be number one of his / her profession, sport or club. One is the number from where the counting starts and any number multiplied by 1 is that number and everything in nature starts from one.
My parents bought a set of 3.5"x5" mounted photos of this, a lighthouse, and a pink, piney coastal sunset during a weekend getaway to Scarborough, Maine after Thanksgiving, 1981 (when I was made.) My mother had no idea where any of them where actually shot, they had just bought them in a shop up there. My whole life they were my idea of what Maine was before driving to Newfoundland in 2019, and part of the trip was aimed at discovering for myself if Maine was the way I imagined it. Since then, I've been on a quest to find each of these locations. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was not in Maine at all. (The lighthouse is the Cape Elizabeth Light. Two down, one to go.)

"Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a replica of a former fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America." The original structure was built in 1884 and destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978, but an exact replica was constructed that same year.
Built in 1884 as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882–1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1," a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance. It appeared in the work of Aldro Hibbard and of impressionist Harry Aiken Vincent who arrived in Rockport in 1917.
In the 1930s, painter John Buckley used the shack as his studio. He sold it to the town in 1945, dedicated "In 1945, the town of Rockport purchased the Motif as a monument to Rockporters who had served in the Armed Services." The town, recognizing its iconic value, has taken pains to preserve both its structure and appearance, finding a red paint which appears weather-beaten even when new, and keeping the area clear of overhead wires, traffic signs and advertising."

I drove out to the Hope Airpark this morning hoping to see Mountain Bluebirds with no luck. They should be due to pass through about now but no sign so far. But there was several dozen American Robins. The only wildlife that out numbered them were the moles digging in the grass runway.

The Raspberries were an American pop rock band formed in 1970 from Cleveland, Ohio. They had a run of success in the early 1970s music scene with their pop rock sound, which AllMusic later described as featuring "exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies." Wikipedia
Kalkee Primary School lies abandoned some 20kms north of Horsham(300kms north west of Melbourne).It was opened in 1877 and closed in 1993.
With only a small number left flying in 2024, Airbus certainly have no reason to show off their A310 these days.
F-WZLI was the second prototype A310 which found service with Air France and eventually with KTHY Cyprus Turkish Airlines.

Normally I focus primarily on the Porsche's but given that this is the last season for the Ford GT's in IMSA competition, I figured I should get a few more shots of them.

Apsley House, standing alone on Hyde Park Corner, London, was the home of the famous Duke of Wellington from 1817. What a different outlook he would have had then compared to today's busy traffic!
The building's history predates the Duke of Wellington having been constructed in 1771-78 for Lord Apsley, the Lord Chancellor, from whom it derived its name. It was then a red brick building. It was clad in Bath Stone after Wellington became Prime Minister in 1828.
The faux address for the building, Number One London, is derived from the time that it was the first residence visitors to London encountered when approaching from the west after having passed through the toll gate at Knightsbridge.
The Wellington family still retains rooms in the building but much is now open at times to the public under the management of English Heritage.
My third and final artist was drawing one of the domes of the ‘Port of Liverpool Building’. This image isn’t quite as exciting as the other two as the background is boring; I couldn’t choose where the artists sat…!
