Sidney Allard recognized 25 years before Carroll Shelby, that stuffing a big American V-8 into a small light European chassis, made for a potent sports racing car. The first Allard cars were built to compete in "trials" events – timed rally-like events on terrain almost impassable by wheeled vehicles. Built in under three weeks, the first Allard was powered by a Ford flathead V8 in a body mainly pirated from a Bugatti. Geared low to take advantage of the huge torque of the V-8 it was very successful, and so he........made more to sell.
The Allard Motor Company was founded in 1945, setting up in London. Using its inventory of easy-to-service Ford mechanicals built up during World War II and bodywork of Allard's own design, three post-war models were introduced with a newly designed steel chassis and lightweight body shells: the J, a competition sports car; the K, a slightly larger car intended for road use, and the four seater L. Local bound models used Ford or Mercury flat heads, but recognizing the sports car starved US market, he sent the chassis over the pond, and the bigger V-8s from Chrysler, Olds, Buick and most commonly Cadillac were used. Lots of CCs in a light chassis can be a potent beast to handle, and Carroll Shelby, and the later Corvette guru, Zora Duntov raced Allards in the early 50s. Available both in street trim and stripped down for racing, the J2 proved successful in competition on both sides of the Atlantic, including a third place overall at Le Mans in 1950 (co-driven by Tom Cole and Allard himself).

Venice Italy is pure magic. This is Venice and magic is what I tell everyone who asks me for travel advice.
Consider nearly 400 ancient bridges to cross, tall campaniles defining the city's skyline, stone walkways, 150 canals, 139 churches, a myriad of fascinating museums, St Mark's Square and Italian gelato that will satisfy your tastebuds as you meander your way through the timeless islands.
There are no cars in Venice. The roads are indeed the city's canals and if you want to be transported, your only choices are the iconic gondolas, private water taxis and public waterbus which is the vaporetto. If you're lucky, Venice will experience a mild Acqua Alta while you're in St. Mark's Square as there's nothing quite like it.
You might feel as if you're on a movie set as Venice doesn't seem real at first tho' the city is indeed a living breathing real place where people live and work. Be respectful as tensions toward tourists run a bit high these days.
Be prepared to think you're lost but also be prepared to throw away your map as a map will only frustrate you. Meander your way through the narrow alleys and simply be pleasantly surprised when you reach one of the public squares where you're sure to find shops and cafes.
Venice is splendid to discover. Take your time and take it all in. The city is pure sensory overload.

Die Sorgenkinder des BW Kempten sind die neuen Triebwagen der Gattung Pesa Link. Der Start des Einsatzes im Allgäu verlief recht holprig und häufige Zugausfälle waren an der Tagesordnung. Die markant gestylten Fahrzeuge haben bereits Spitznamen erhalten. Die respektvolle Version ist "Hai", die despektierliche "Klodeckel". Am 16. Januar 2021 konnte ich bei Aitrang einen Nachschuss auf den RE 57585 auf der Fahrt nach München HBF anfertigen. Gebildet war der Zug aus dem 633 033 und zwei weiteren Fahrzeugen des Typs. Eine Lücke in der Wolkendecke ermöglichte ein gut ausgeleuchtetes Winterbild.
The problem children of the depot Kempten are the new Pesa Link railcars. The start of service in the Allgäu region was quite bumpy and frequent train cancellations were the order of the day. The strikingly styled vehicles have already been given nicknames. The respectful version is " Shark", the disrespectful one "Toilet Cover". On January 16, 2021, I was able to take a shot of RE 57585 on its way to Munich main station near Aitrang. The train consisted of the 633 033 and two other vehicles of the same type. A gap in the cloud cover allowed a well-lit winter image.
I have been wanting to go to this cave for a long time, but I have never got the chance. Ok, the cave can be a little hard to find, but it's not all that far, and too tough to get to. However, it's about 2 hours to get here and there is not really that much cave to see. So, every time we talk about going here, the idea dies because it's just too far for such a small site.
Well, the wife and kids are out of town this week, and I know the dog and I can visit two locations (Dee Wright and Skylight) alone that the family has never really wanted to go to. So it's the dog and I cuddling up in the car overnight again for a milky way image. More on that later.
Anything for a photo.
This cave is a very unique cave. The beams are shy and require a very set of circumstances to appear.
First, you need to be there alone, or at least get people out of your frame. I know everyone wants to add romance by thinking this is a secret cave. Nope. The fact is, it's a tourist attraction. I took a day off of work because I have heard this place can get some crowds. Great plan right? Nope. Fail. All of the magic ingredients were right, but the people of Oregon knew that too and it was crowded. I got lucky though and the all the visitors were very respectful of each other, we all made a great team to be sure to get the images we wanted.
Second, you need Summer Solstice. The actual skylights are surrounded by trees, so you need a sun high, and at the right angle to actually shine down into the cave. that only happens for about three months of the year. Turns out the cave is closed all the other months because it is a bat condo during that time of year.
Third, the shy beams only come out for about three hours a day, between 9 and 11, generally. For me that meant leaving the house at about 5am. I needed extra time because many have a hard time finding the cave.
Fourth, you need a cloudless sky to get the sunshine. Marry all those together and that becomes a very, very narrow window of opportunity.
Turns out everything worked out.
I did loads of research on getting to the cave. The OHV trails to the site were not that bad, I saw one guy there in a minivan. Google maps was actually not too wrong this time (a Miricale). The day was bright, no clouds, and late June was just right. I got there at 8am, way too early, but at least I got to scout the area before the narrow photo window. I was worried that the crowds could be an issue. After all, I had planned to kick up some dust from the cave floor to make the beams stronger. I was worried that this might bug others. Well, self correcting problem, the floor was mud, no dust to be had. I did not need dust, you see those beams?
The main trouble with the shoot itinerary was shooting skylight in the morning and Dee Wright at night, meant there was a lot of time to kill in between. The dog did not mind. He got lots of time playing in the Deschutes River.
Let me know what you think.
Superb welding technique in an early 30s Aston Martin 1.5 Liter racer. I just liked the abstract beauty of this sensuous exhaust manifold. I'll put up more of this creature later.

"enjoying my life, having a good time here, no stress, I try to be very conscious about that. Being nice and respectful to the people around me is very important to me, too. Trying to make my own little universe, with everything in it, a little bit better, that's what I do here on this planet :-) "
Here is Junior, right after he's been placed on the makeshift ladder. There's a bit of angst in is face from being captured and handled by one of those big monsters who are now watching and waiting from a respectful distance (see us reflected in his eyes), hoping he will make the climb to safety and be accepted back under moms wing.
Sis, You are truly amazing at everything what you do. you drop everything to help people who are around. You are loving, caring, kind and respectful and strong. Im Happy to call you My Sister, My Best Friend, My Mentor when I need a slap from time to time. I love you Maddie. Merry Christmas Sissy EyeBall.

Spectacular 1910 Packard 30 Gentleman's Roadster. The slogan 'Ask The Man Who Owns One' is one of the most famous in American History. It was the response given to most individuals when asked about a Packard. They were reliable, elegant, powerful, and quality automobiles. Their attention to detail and ingenuity were some of the key factors in making the company successful.
The Packard legend began in 1898 when James Ward Packard, a mechanical engineer, purchased a Winton. The Winton automobiles were good automobiles but the one that Packard had purchased had many flaws and broke down on its first road trip. Packard returned the vehicle to Winton and voiced his displeasure. Winton challenged Packard to build a better product. James and his brother William Dowd Packard began immediately building a vehicle. A year later their first car, a one-cylinder, was introduced. They built four more cars that year, and the following year, in 1900, they produced 47 of a Model B under the name New York and Ohio Company, a subsidiary of the brothers' Packard Electric Company, manufacturers of transformers and electric lighting equipment. The cars were simple yet durable. They featured a single-cylinder engine mounted under the seat and attached to a two-speed planetary transmission and chain drive.
Packard made another bold claim in 1909 by touting this Model 30 UB as 'The Masterpiece of the Largest Exclusive Motor Car Factory in the World.' The claims were justified as the huge Packard plant covered 14 acres and their payroll had 3,200 employees. Certainly they remained the most successful luxury American car for many years.
This open-topped Gentleman's Roadster features two bucket seats - one each for the driver and passenger - and a bucket-style 'mother-in-law seat' on the rear deck - perched atop the gas tank. It also has acetylene headlights and kerosene sidelights. It is one of only three original Gentleman's Roadsters to survive and is in remarkable condition considering it was restored 60 years ago.

Interesting reflections on the radiator shell of a 1924 Duesenberg Model A modified in the late 20s to run at the 1931 Indianapolis 500. Taken at Laguna Seca at the vintage auto races. The wonderful Duesenberg emblem jumps out and grabs you by the ankle. It still runs that amazing straight 8 engine after almost 100 years.

More much later when I put up the whole car.

The actual winner of the last big race before the onset of WW 1, in 1914 when this very car led the Mercedes sweep of 1-2-3 in the French Grand Prix just 1 month before the War began. To compound it's triumph, it won outright the 1915 Indianapolis 500, and having survived the war, the 8 year old veteran won the 1922 Targa Flora in Italy!
The 1914 French Grand Prix, often called the last great race, took place on July 4, less than a month before World War I began.
The race consisted of 20 laps around the challenging Lyon Circuit, which was known for hairpin corners and rapid elevation changes that truly tested an automobile’s full capabilities. A total of 37 entries representing Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland set off in pairs at 30 second intervals, but only 11 crossed the finish line that day.
In an amazing display of superiority, Mercedes finished one-two-three. Christian Lautenschlager took first place with his #28 Mercedes. Following close behind was Louis Wagner’s #48 Mercedes, with Otto Salzer’s #39 Mercedes coming in third.
The 4500cc 4 cylinder engine owed much to updates in airplane engines, and it ran flawlessly.
The owner of the Mercedes that won the 1914 French race, George F. Wingard of Eugene, Ore., rescued the car 30 years ago — it had once been converted to a road car — and did most of the mechanical restoration work to bring it back to its original configuration. Mr. Wingard has competed in vintage races with it, where it has topped 100 miles an hour. You will notice the seat belts, the effective crash cage with roll bar, and remember the quality of the roads of the era.......The drivers had to be more than a bit crazy!!!

After a full day spent with Colin the Cuckoo - decided to see if I could find any wobblers. A rece the evening before gave me a reasonable idea where there was an active pair and I returned the following morning to stand and wait a respectful distance away from where I thought they were nesting. Have never managed to get a shot with a male bringing in caterpillars before - as I usually go after them in March when there are none about.

I was at Fort de Soto last month, one of my favorite Florida locations, in an area off the intercoastal waterway and I was the only person around. This Osprey landed on a spit of sand and as I approached slowly, I could tell it was comfortable with my presence. When approaching wildlife, it’s usually best to move slowly, not directly toward your subject, not pointing a long lens or staring at it, and remaining low. That worked in this instance and the Osprey and I enjoyed a bath together. Kinky huh! It bathed and bathed and bathed until it finally took off at a leisurely pace. I love experiences like this as I imagine feeling some kinship with my subject. I respectfully thanked my Osprey friend and headed back to the beach. (Pandion haliaetus) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/6400 second, ISO 640) (A note about these settings: I could have reduced the ISO to 100 but that would have given me a shutter speed of only 1/1000 of a second, too slow for flying birds. My Sony has very little noise at ISOs of 500 and 640 and I tend to treat 640 as my base ISO. Faster shutter speeds are your friend for bird’s in-flight photography.)
A couple sheets of sandpaper and a couple cans of spray paint and it will look like new..........Who lets an XK Jaguar Coupe' get into this shape? Wonder what kind of a RatRod it would make.
Remember that in it's day, it was the fastest stock car available in America, and they won 5 LeMans with the racing version.

Blue Mesa Reservoir is an artificial reservoir located on the upper reaches of the Gunnison River in Gunnison County, Colorado. The largest lake located entirely within the state, Blue Mesa Reservoir was created by the construction of Blue Mesa Dam, a 390-foot tall earthen fill dam constructed on the Gunnison by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1966 for the generation of hydroelectric power.[1] Managed as part of the Curecanti National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service, Blue Mesa Reservoir is the largest lake trout and Kokanee salmon fishery in Colorado
Around 11,000 of these birds visit the UK from Iceland every winter with a very small number breeding here ( less than thirty pairs) This pair has been spending nights on Dengemarsh gravel pit and the days feeding on this field near the Dungeness RSPB reserve . There is no way to get close to them without risking spooking them but I am still very pleased with this image taken from a respectful distance !
Abstract Composition on the extravagant 1937 Hartmann V-16 Cadillac shown previously. This is as close to the original colors and pattern as the magicians at Ontario's JM Restoration experts could make it. At the insistence of the wealthy playboy, Philippe Barraud , who micromanaged the project, the more conservative Swiss coachmaker, Hartmann, freely 'borrowed' numerous design details, including the paint patterns, from the far more flamboyant Figoni & Falaschi coachmakers from Paris. The ultimate impractical and over-the-top showstopper for certain. You may freely surmise on the psychological needs of the original owner, to create this behemoth.......I have seen pictures and he is NOT, Cary Grant, or John Wayne

This is the father of those little chicks in they're nest in the following photos. He's not only a handsome devil to be sure but a very protective father and mate. He gets nearly right in my face, because he believes I'm getting to close to maintain security for his family and is letting me know I need to back off. Because he doesn't know what my intentions are?
But I am keeping a respectful distance from his brood, and am meaning no harm whatsoever. He flies by my face a couple of times to see what I'd do, and I didn't even raise my camera, because if I had, it might have accidentally hit him he was that close. He finally realizes I'm no threat and gives me the okay.

Della was very happy to see her old friend Eustace yesterday.
Eustace was happy to see Della too but he kept looking for Tug.
He and Tug were only a year apart in age and they adored each other.
We always called them brothers from another mother, they were so much alike in their goofiness.
At six years old a Great Dane is considered old.
The fact that he has Wobblers Disease has made his balance not great but he is still the loving boy he always was.
I hadn’t seen him in quite a while because he and Tug would get so wild when they played.
We didn’t want him to hurt himself or fall on Tug.
He was always very respectful of Della and still was yesterday.
Stunning Sreet Performance.

Blower Bentley number 4 owned by billionaire Ralph Lauren, and an example of a philosophy that looked good on paper......take a proven 4 1/2 liter four cylinder (winning Le Mans in 1928) engine putting out 110 hp and strap on a supercharger and voila! 240 hp. This was done over WO Bentley's strong objections, who felt that messing with the finished engine in that way would add problems more than speed. He felt if you needed more HP, you added cylinders, thus the LeMans winning Bentley in '29 was a speed 6, and the winner in 1930 was a straight 8.......but, in the age of focus on long distance racing, testing the reliability of components, the more glamorous blower Bentleys NEVER won a race......though they remain far more desirable and expensive.

1931 Duesenberg J Special Phaeton, design by Gordon Buehrig, bodied by LeBaron specifically for the 1931 New York Auto Salon. Carefully treated over the generations, and sold at auction in 2006 for $2,640,000. Built in the peak of the Great Depression, it did have engineering dominance to match it's Hutzpah. The amazing straight 8 engine cranked out 265 HP (up to 320 with optional Supercharger) with NOTHING near among the competition!..
