The standout example of an operator picking up work on contract following the demise of Yourbus on 4 October was Hulleys taking on the Sunday 11. Whilst the company is an established provider of work for DCC, the 11 links Derby and Ilkeston which stand a good few miles south east of Hulleys' Peak District heartland. The service covers the Monday to Saturday daytime route of the Black Cat between Derby and West Hallam, and 59 around West Hallam and Shipley View. The number was also used by Midland General and later Notts & Derby between 2012 and 2018 to denote the now-withdrawn former Felix Black Cat journeys which they inherited after Wellglade purchased Felix. Rumour has it that the service will be withdrawn in late February for reasons of funding.
Today's traction was Optare Solo KN54XYP (24), seen here passing the Newdigate Arms at West Hallam with the 10:00 journey from Derby. This vehicle was purchased last October to help cover the additional work taken on from Yourbus, which chiefly refers to the 110/111. It was pressed into service at short notice carrying full livery of its previous operator, Connexinons Buses, and has subsequently gained Hulleys fleetnames on the nose. Given that Hulleys presently have a Wright-bodied Scania on loan from Connexions, then the unsuspecting passenger might form the erroneous conclusion that Hulleys have adopted white and green as a new colour scheme. The Solo was new to Stagecoach Midlands, serving additionally with Stagecoach Western prior to moving to Connexions.
Pulling weeds today and had to take a picture of this one before i pulled it. The lowly dandilion is under appreciated.
The standout bow steals the show on this simple but beautiful dress of rustling, royal blue taffeta. I wonder how many boys in the 50s and 60s had their heads and hearts turned by dresses such as this.
Last night was carnival night and everyone was dressed up or was trying to get dressed up as something at the last minute. Lovely little shops full of nice goodies were open in order to provide people with what they needed so they could blend in with everyone else. Being normal yesterday made you standout from the crowd.
Tywappity Lake Trail
Scott County Missouri USA
When I started this hike I wasn't going to take my camera. Sometimes I just like walking in the woods, and let my mind wonder, without contemplating on what would be a good photo, as I often do when I have my camera in tow. However when I started my hike and observed the water, how smooth it was, how calm the forest was on this beautiful autumn evening, I went back and got my camera, knowing that I would find ample subjects with little or not thought.
This lone tree that was turning ahead of the rest really caught my eye. Colors are most noticeable when the background does not compete. The yellows in these leaves would not be near as impressive if the surrounding trees did not provide contrast to these bright hues. The background is green and muted and there appears to be a slight mist in the upper part of the image.
The foreground is supplemented by a branch sticking out of the water. This partially submerged branch is important for the composition, because it breaks up almost perfect reflection on this very calm evening. This little imperfection adds interest to the image.

The woods out back here have very few trees with real fall color left after all the rain and wind. When you find one it really stands out.
Although all the rooms of the Rone - Empire installation exhibition are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one of them. It features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface.
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study is one. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Standout car for me here is the brown Mazda 929, looks like the later facelift model (as glimpsed on one of yesterday's Burntisland postcards).
Several Escorts both Mk1 and 2, rearmost one loos like a Popular with the black bumpers and hubcaps (but with an optional/afternmarket vinyl roof).
I have nothing to offer on the horse and cart.
