I'm not entirely sure what this body started out as. I don't believe it was a Ford, and that leaves dozens of other possibilities. The engine is a 1950's Chrysler Fire Power Hemi. Photographed in the car show at the 2015 Meltdown Drags, Byron, Illinois.
A favourite grouping of trees that I revisit periodically. Flat light and a blank sky gave a certain effect which I've accentuated slightly by tweaking the midtone contrast.

Bearded and looking slightly bedraggled, the war was in it's infancy when this photograph was taken. Men of the 82nd Landwehr Infanterie Regiment (13th Landwehr Division) wearing a small metallic Landwehr Cross affixed to their helmet covers. This practice was not common and such photographs are prized amongst collectors (all three of us) of Landsturm / Landwehr pictures.

The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team released three rehabilitated turtles that were hooked by recreational fishermen. The Stranding Response Team released the turtles along the shore behind Neptune’s Park at 31st Street. This year’s naming theme for rehab patients at the Aquarium is “heroes and villains.” The sex of each young turtle is yet to be determined.
Ursula, a Kemp’s ridley which is the most endangered turtle species, was hooked at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier June 7. She had several lacerations, a healing rear flipper wound and corneal ulcers. Ursula was also undernourished.
Voldemort, another Kemp’s ridley turtle, is best known for his second hooking and rehab stay at the Aquarium’s Marine Animal Care Center. He was superficially hooked with a J hook baited with squid by a fisherman on the Buckroe Fishing Pier July 2. He quickly recovered from that injury, was released and then was hooked again three days later but this time at Naval Station Norfolk. This hook required surgery as it was lodged in his esophagus.
Green Goblin, the only green sea turtle among the group, was found on the bank of Owls Creek July 5. He was hooked through his right upper and lower eyelids with a J hook which was easily removed by the team. They also discovered a plastron (shell) fracture which has now stabilized.
The Stranding Response Team urges anyone who sees a hooked turtle to call the 24-hour hotline 757 385-7575. While you wait for assistance, do not pull a turtle up on the line which causes further injury but scoop it with a net. Then keep the turtle shaded and wet. Most of all, do not fish if you see turtles nearby.

Another shot of the rare Bond 750 at Stratford on Avon. A friend had one of these and informed me of some long forgotten facts. Firstly you only required a motorbike licence. The body was Aluminium, the engine was the Villiers 250cc unit. This retained its kick start, so if the battery let you down you could open the bonnet and kick start it. No screen heaters, bit of problem in the cold weather.In those days you could buy a stick on heater from Halfords etc, which did little to help the battery, that's were the kick start comes in. There was also something strange about the gearbox. I THINK it had three or four forward gears. To get reverse you stopped the engine, and selected reverse, which gave you the same number of gears going backward. This should have been the original Bond film car, after a long ride in one of these you were left " Shaken and not stirred". Would love to hear more facts about this British classic, they did a good job in there day.

Police arrest demonstrators on the Washington Monument grounds February 21, 1970 who were protesting the verdicts of the Chicago 7 trial.
The demonstration was the second march in three days protesting the outcome in the conspiracy trial related to disturbances at the 1968 Democratic Convention.
The 2,000 marchers followed a circuitous route beginning at an open park at 7th and Constitution Ave. NW (current site of National Sculpture Garden) and winding past the District of Columbia police headquarters, the Justice Department and Smithsonian Museums before ending at the Ellipse behind the White House.
Scattered confrontations with police occurred along with broken windows during the angry protest. Police arrested 112 more demonstrators in addition to the 145 they had arrested two days earlier during a march on the Watergate home of U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell.
The Chicago 8 were prominent antiwar leaders charged with conspiracy to riot at the 1968 Democratic Convention. The trial made a mockery of the judicial system as Judge Julius Hoffman could not contain the defendants and cited all, including their lawyers, with multiple counts of contempt.
Black Panther Bobby Seale refused to cooperate in the proceedings after his choices for attorney were rejected by the Judge Hoffman and was then bound and gagged by the judge. Hoffman eventually severed the trial of Seale from the rest of the group, which was thereafter known as the Chicago 7.
The initial verdict cleared the defendants of conspiracy but found five guilty of lesser charges. All charges, including most of the contempt citations, were eventually cleared upon appeal. None of the defendants were jailed for the crimes they were charged with or for contempt.
Seale was never tried after his case was severed from the others.

WHAT'S UP: BUZZ-BOMBERS OF LONG BEACH
GANGWAY! In the late 1960s, there were two possible scenarios we foresaw regarding what we would be driving in the 21st century: rocket space-cars like the Jetsons drove, or autoettes like the old people drove. We would've been filled with despair if we'd been told that when the 21st century started, there'd be nothing like a space-car in General Motors' pipeline, and that the autoette would, long before we reached the age of AARP, be driven from the streets, or more properly, the sidewalks of our town.
Autoette was a trade name turned generic term for the little three-wheeled electric carts that once seemingly outnumbered pedestrians on the streets of downtown Long Beach.
The vehicles were apparently handed out to the town's more seasoned citizens once they reached the age of driving incompetency, whereupon they would take to the sidewalks on significant numbers and drive up the heels and over the backs of whippersnappers who didn't have the god-given sense to steer clear of a determined errand runner behind the wheels of one of these “buzz-bombs”.
And “behind the wheel” is a misnomer. The carts were steered by means of a stick with a handle on it. The things were a snap to drive, and the oldsters helming these little things terrorized the sidewalks of Pine, Long Beach Boulevard, Ocean and other downtown streets for a couple of decades.
…..
In 1964 police estimated there were were 3,000 electric cars zipping around Long Beach, but it seemed there were more, …
The city was more than accommodating to the fleet of Autoettes, carving cut-outs into the curbs or building sidewalks at street level at intersections so drivers wouldn't have to slow down, …
In 1964, pedestrians were given the right-of-way over electric cars.
Although the carts, by 1965 had become classified as motor vehicles and therefore illegal to operate on sidewalks, the law was scantily enforced.
In 1966, an 80 year old woman plowed her Autoette into a ladder holding a neon sign installer who fell 14 feet to his death. The law was then enforced.

Crossing the highway outside Paramaribo, Suriname. I had seen a pair of videos taken in Costa Rica of a similar event just prior to this trip, one of which was matched with a remix of the song 'I Believe I Can Fly' (easily found on YouTube). My colleagues said they hadn't seen one in over a year and - just a little while later - we came across this guy doing same thing. They're painfully slow and clearly not made for moving horizontally. When a car came by, he'd lower his head (slowly). A local picked him up, just like in the videos, and gently placed him on the far side.

Three little kittens they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear
Our mittens we have lost.
What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
No, you shall have no pie.

The Toyota Aygo (pronounced /ˈaɪɡoʊ/ "I go") is a city car sold by Toyota in Europe since 2005. All Aygos are built at the new factory of the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech (TPCA) joint venture in Kolin, Czech Republic. The Aygo was first displayed at the 2005 Salon de l'Automobile de Genève. The name "Aygo" comes from "i-go",[1] symbolising freedom and mobility.[2]
The decision to produce the cars was made on July 12, 2001, when the presidents of Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroën, Fujio Cho and Jean-Martin Folz respectively, decided to produce a small car to share development costs. This project was called B-Zero. The Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 are rebadged versions of the same car.
The Aygo's starting on-the-road price is €8,500 (GB£6,845). The main difference between the Aygo and its siblings is in the interior equipment, badges, logos and the easily recognizable rear end of the car. The planned production is 300,000 cars annually – 100,000 cars per brand. Sales began in July 2005 and the car is available as a three or five-door hatchback. There are two engines available, a 1.0 L three-cylinder engine rated at 68 bhp (51 kW), and a 1.4 L HDi diesel I4 engine rated at 54 bhp (40 kW). The Aygo has a 4-star EuroNCAP rating.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
Three sister BNSF GEVOs put a train together in Redmond, Oregon with the Three Sisters of the High Cascades in the distance. Went to the Oregon Trunk to catch a UP reroute due to the collapse of Tunnel 11 on the Cascade line but did not catch one.
Just added the first clean up crew consisting of 10 Turbo Snails (Turbo fluctuosa), a Red Sea Star (Fromia milleporella) , and Pincushion Urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) The urchin was the only mistake I bought and the only thing I had to remove. This guy would knock over everything and pickup anything you could. Once i saw him with two 4" feather dusters and some coral on his back. He would then drop them in shade where they would die if not found.

This is the view looking into the building seen in the previous three photos. I shot this from the doorway--I definitely did not feel like stepping inside, as in real life this looked a lot darker. Unquestionably the creepiest location I've ever photographed. View large on black.
