You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?
"..because nothing makes me happier
and nothing makes me sadder than you.."
Quotation from The History Of Love by Nicole Krauss
Texture from Kerstin Frank. Thank you.
I took this at the annual Printer's Row Book Fair the weekend before last.

E-Type Jaguar 4.2
1964 model (or could be early 1965)
Discovered at Coogee Beach, Sydney, whilst on my summer
ocean-side walking trek, from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, stopping for coffee, of-course, at the Lazy Frog Cafe in Bronte. Where else?
Now why, on earth, would Jaguar design a car with a boot that opens like this? Weird science, I say. It would have to be inconvenient in the Westfield carpark! But that being said, a 4.2 litre engine in such a small vehicle, would mean that this E-Type Jaguar would literally fly!
Here's some car jargon:
In 1964, the E-Type received several important upgrades including a 4.2-litre version of the famous XK engine. Other upgrades included a fully synchromesh transmission, new Laycock-Hausserman clutch, revised engine cooling and a new alternator which replaced the generator. (And, I cheekily add, a silly opening boot - ha)

Ella was the type to lean a little more towards ‘live and let live’ when given the chance, but she didn’t take lightly being cheated or otherwise done wrong. It was the principal of the thing that she tended to take issue with. Even on the wrong side of the law, she still had a moral compass, though perhaps it didn’t always point due north.
Ella had met her share of shady characters throughout her travels. There was always some degree of dishonesty to a man, she reckoned, but it was all about how much you could live with at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, they’d pin these little tin stars to just about anyone’s chest that would have them, and sadly, hiding behind that little star tended to make a slightly bent man break completely bad.
Ella could wager the lawman had no clue what he was doing when he made eyes for the dappled stud she rode into town on, and she had hard money on the fact that he had no idea what he was calling down on himself when he pulled his gun on her, telling her she’d make it to see another day if she just handed over the reins. Little did he know…
There were few things she held in high regard these days, with all the hard living she’d come to know so well, but Mille and the dappled palomino were two things she held dearest. A history of loyalty had tied them together, and it would take more than some twisted town sheriff to pull them apart.
There are times when knowing when to fold means living to see another day, and though the reins about burned her hand as she handed them over, she knew she’d be seeing the man again, and very soon.

Special thanks to my bestie, Tupper, for putting up with my shenanigans
There are four types of Dik Diks. One species was introduced many years ago to Prison Island off the western shores of Stone Town in Zanzibar. I still need to ascertain which this is. My guess is that these are Kirks Dik Dik's. They are a diminutive antelope that only stand at around 12-15 inches at the shoulder. Being so small they have a habit of hiding away in forests and are really skittish. I considered myself to be lucky to encounter this one, although scrambling through the undergrowth did reward me with a few flesh woulds from the prickly shrubbery.
As can be seen it was pretty dark in the woodland so I had to crank up the ISO.
Here is another garage shot, this time of the Paul Castaldini raced 1962 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low Drag Coupe that appears to be a copy of the "49 FXN" car that features the long nose that was prototyped for Le Mans.
The unusual shade of green was eye catching under the garage lights, and makes a change from the silver of the FXN cars.

This shot shows the shadow of some peeling lettering on a shop window cast onto a letter L that was part of the window display.
Looks like a fem-type Kestrel in with Lessers' but I could be wrong. Moustachial stripe and dark stripe back from the eye suggest Common. And the old twitcher's favourite...'it's got dark claws, innit...' unless of course that's just earth... Spain; Erla, Aragon 3/9/21

The belfry & part of the west wall alone remain of this 12th Century celtic type church destroyed in the great storm of Oct 1859 along with over 100 ships along the coast of Wales/ Another storm in March 1979 caused further damage to the churchyard.
Last night we visited it was a dull day, this time it was gorgeous.
20207 and 20205 are opened up as they climb the Sutton Park line near Walmley, seemingly for the benefit of the assembled gallery which was most appreciated! Running just a day late the Choppers were en-route to Kidderminster S.V.R. from the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley.

Yes, this is from Shoot 5 of Project 5. However, this is after the first 2 shots. When we completed the shots for the project, I had film leftover, and seeing as this was our last shoot, I took some more pictures. These are NOT a part of the project.
The Citroën Type C was a light car made by the French Citroën car company between 1922 and 1926 with almost 83,000 units being made. Known as Citroën 5HP or 5CV , it was the second model of automobile designed and marketed by André Citroën, between 1922 and 1926.
The first colour in which it was made was yellow,(a pale " grapefruit " yellow) which earned it the first nickname " petite citron "(little lemon). It was also nicknamed "Cul de poule " (hen's bottom), "boat tail" or "boat deck Citroën" referring to the tapered rear of the little car's body and also "Trefle " (clover leaf) referring to the shape of the three-seat version
