My original Primus stove, which saw many years use when camping and backpacking.
Being made mainly of brass, the Primus stove was heavy and cumbersome compared to today’s portable LPG stoves, but it was fun to use. Starting it up was a bit of a ritual if all you wanted was to boil some water for a cup of coffee, but there was the joy of pouring a small amount of methylated spirit into the spirit cup to prime it, lighting the meth then watching and waiting for it to almost burn away before pressurising the tank with the built-in pump. This caused the paraffin to rise through a preheating and vaporising tube before being forced under pressure to the actual burner where it would mix with air and then ignite into a very hot and powerful blue flame. The flame’s intensity is adjusted by pumping more air into the tank to make it larger, or releasing air by means of a small air screw located on the filler cap to make it smaller (e.g. when simmering). It all sounds very complicated compared to modern LPG stoves, which you simply turn on and light, but it was one of those things that contributed to the joy of camping.
My Primus stove always brought back memories of when I was a child during the 1950s, camping with my parents at Humberston near Cleethorpes. In those days, it seemed everyone cooked on a traditional Primus stove when camping, and intermingled with the pervading aroma of breakfasts cooking all across the campsite was the occasional whiff of methylated spirit and burning paraffin from someone just starting up their stove. I still keep my old Primus out of pure nostalgia, but it has recently been replaced with a LPG stove.
Primus Stove
Developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist and Johan Viktor Svenson, the Primus stove was the world’s first portable pressurized-burner paraffin stove and was made in Stockholm, Sweden. The first units were sold mainly to women who operated street market shops in Stockholm, but the stove’s reputation for efficiency and reliability soon earned it its place in the history books when famed and intrepid explorers chose it to take on their expeditions.
It was the stove of choice for these spirited adventurers:
* Fridtjof Nansen's 1893 unsuccessful North Pole attempt.
* Salomon August Andrée’s 1897 North Pole expedition.
* Roald Amundsen’s expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
* George Mallory's ill-fated expedition to Mount Everest in 1924.
* First successful ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and
` Tenzing Norgay in 1953.
And then there was me!

Impressionen vom 8. Oldtimertreffen am 06.07.2013 auf dem Karlsplatz in Greußen / Thüringen, hier ein Adler Primus 1,7A von 1934.
Der Adler Primus, ein PKW mit Hinterradantrieb der Adlerwerke in Frankfurt am Main, kam 1932 auf den Markt. Er war das Schwestermodell des frontgetriebenen Trumpf, für den dieselben wassergekühlten Vierzylinder-Reihenmotoren mit 1,5 bzw. 1,7 Litern Hubraum verwendet wurden. Für die klassische Konstruktion zeichnete Otto Göckeritz verantwortlich.
The Adler Primus is a small family car introduced by the Frankfurt based auto-maker, Adler in March 1932. In a move reminiscent of British Leyland in the 1970s, Adler launched two similarly sized cars in the same year, one of which followed the then new trend set by DKW for front-wheel drive, and one respecting the conventional rear-wheel drive configuration still used by the market leader, Opel.
The Primus was the first of the smaller Adlers to be introduced, early in 1932, and was the rear wheel drive offering. The conservative design was the responsibility of Otto Göckeritz, the man who had designed the company's first small car back in 1906. The 1932 Primus was effectively a scaled down version of the manufacturer’s Standard 6 of 1927, applying the same high bodied design with a simple “overslung” chassis on which the car's rigid axles fitted underneath the principal loadbearing lengths of the chassis.
It was obvious that when Primus planned this show, the visual experience was just as important as the aural experience, but most of the show found the members of the band in very low light or dark shadows. I like seeing performers when they play but I don't plan their shows. So many of the shots were taken in very low light with high ISO which meant I had to use high levels of noise removal in post processing to make the images presentable. I still had a blast at the show though.
Fue obvio que cuando Primus planeó este espectáculo, la experiencia visual era tan importante como la experiencia auditiva. Entonces, durante la mayor parte del espectáculo los integrantes de la banda se encontraban en muy poca luz o sombras oscuras. Me gusta ver a los artistas cuando tocan, pero no planeo sus conciertos. Muchas de las tomas se tomaron con muy poca luz y un ISO alto, lo que significa que tuve que usar altos niveles de eliminación de ruido en el procesamiento posterior para que las imágenes fueran presentables. Sin embargo, todavía me divertí mucho en el espectáculo.
This commissioned Primus was loaded with details. I painted him with a scheme inpired by Don Figueroa's Ultimate guide rendition, added some battle damage (comets and meteors) to his alt mode.

The Val d’Orcia, or Valdorcia, is a region of Tuscany, central Italy, which extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata. It is characterised by gentle, carefully-cultivated hills occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza (rebuilt as an “ideal town” in the 15th century under the patronage of Pope Pius II), Radicofani (home to the notorious brigand-hero Ghino di Tacco) and Montalcino (the Brunello di Montalcino is counted among the most prestigious of Italian wines). It is a landscape which has become familiar through its depiction in works of art from the Renaissance painting to the modern photograph.
In 2004 the Val d’Orcia was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites under these criteria:
* Criterion (iv): The Val d’Orcia is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was re-written in Renaissance times to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing pictures.
* Criterion (vi): The landscape of the Val d’Orcia was celebrated by painters from the Scuola Senese, which flourished during the Renaissance. Images of the Val d’Orcia, and particularly depictions of landscapes where people are depicted as living in harmony with nature, have come to be seen as icons of the Renaissance and have profoundly influenced the development of landscape thinking.

Christ Primus C150 at Morrisons tonight. Thought I would get some photographs of the system at night quite spooky, but I also find it annoying. They haven’t installed wash bay lighting like they have at other locations. You would think they would fix the lights already in the bay.
A relic from WWI and used during that war by a British soldier on the Western Front. On display at the National Army Museum in Chelsea, London.

"Tommy the Cat." "John the Fisherman." "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver." "My Name is Mud." "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver." Yessiree, Primus is responsible for some of the most cutting edge and original rock music of the 1990's. And now, the definitive Primus line-up - singer/bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Tim Alexander - is back together and planning on getting the worldwide masses bobbing up and down in unison once more.
Although originally formed in 1984, it was not until shortly before the end of the decade that the aforementioned classic line-up was solidified. With most hard rock/heavy metal acts at the time either neatly falling into either "thrash" or "glam" categories, Primus joined a variety of underground bands that refused to be pigeonholed (and by the early '90s, had fully infiltrated the mainstream) - merging metal, funk, alternative, punk, country, roots rock, and experimental music, along with Claypool's penchant for witty and often humorous storytelling lyrics.
Building a large and loyal following first in and around San Francisco (before eventually, going global), Primus kicked things off with a string of releases that are now considered classic alt-rock titles - 1989's 'Suck on This,' 1990's 'Frizzle Fry,' 1991's 'Sailing the Seas of Cheese,' 1993's 'Pork Soda,' and 1995's 'Tales from the Punchbowl.' Along the way, Primus toured with some of rock's biggest names (Jane's Addiction, Public Enemy, Rush, U2, etc.), headlined the third-ever Lollapalooza Festival, and issued a variety of crafty music videos, which stood out in sharp contrast to the ultra-seriousness of most other video clips at the time.
Alexander exited Primus in 1996, but returned in 2003, in time for an EP/DVD set, 'Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People,' and a sold out reunion tour, that lasted over the next few years, before the drummer departed once more. But as Claypool got to work on putting together a forthcoming book about the band's history, Les began longing for the days of when Alexander's unmistakable and powerful drumming provided the beat. A phone call was placed, a conversation ensued, and before you could say, "Here come the bastards," the Claypool-LaLonde-Alexander line-up was back in business. Plans to tour the world over and offering up new music are already in place. Be forewarned…here they come!
Although it looks very nice with the donwstreaming cream, the cream was not a great addition to the taste...
