Some months ago I presented two photographs to the first contest in which I participate, being about the Camino de Santiago (pilgrimage in Spain). It is a few days that I have been told directly by telephone. Not only I still cannot beleive it, but it also gives me renewed will to continue with photography.

I want also to say I am sorry to all you, my Flickr Friends, because of my long absence. It is being a difficult year, and it may easily be still the same till summer. I hope I can dedicate you the time you deserve.

Victor

Hace unos meses presenté dos fotografías al primer concurso en el que participo, siendo acerca del Camino de Santiago. Hace poco que me han avisado directamente por teléfono. No sólo no acabo de creérmelo, sino que me da muchos ánimos para seguir con la fotografía.

Aprovecho para pedir disculpas a vosotros, amigos de Flickr, por mi prolongada ausencia. Está siendo un año difícil, y es posible que continúe aún hasta el verano. Espero poderos dedicar el tiempo que os merecéis.
Un abrazo,

There are some trees that somehow manage to resist winter colds. And not only they manage, but even quite well, as this one with its colors.
Maybe it's an invitation to look for the best inside us, and keep it under any circumstances.
Hay algunos árboles que de alguna forma se apañan para resistir los fríos del invierno. Y no sólo se apañan, sino que además, bastante bien, como este árbol, con sus colores.
Quizá es una invitación a buscar lo mejor de nosotros, y mantenerlo en cualquier circunstancia.

XH648 first flew on 27th November 1959 and was delivered to 57 Squadron at RAF Honington in December 1959. In October 1960 she was returned to HP at Radlett and converted to a B.1A (lots of new ECM equipment, uprated engines, improved radar and radio etc.) and return to the RAF in May 1961 - 15 Squadron at RAF Cottesmore. During 1962/63 she was part of Exercise Profiteer during the Indonesian Confrontation. In April 1964 she was assigned to 55 Squadron, and began low level sorties, losing her white paintwork and gaining green/grey camouflage instead.
With the grounding of the Valiant fleet due to spar fatigue issues, an urgent need for replacement tankers was identified and XH648 was selected to be one of six B.1s converted to two-point tanker status. This meant she retained the ability to go and bomb something if need be, and resulted in a change of designation from K.1A to B.1A(K2P). Returned to 55 Squadron at RAF Honington in April 1965, they soon moved to RAF Marham, and when they began converting to Victor K.2s in June 1975, XH648 moved to 57 Squadron for a final year of service before being retired to Duxford on 2nd June 1976.

Victor Vasarely (ungarisch: Vásárhelyi Győző;) * 9. April 1906 in Pécs, † 15. März 1997 in Paris
Victor Vasarely ist der schillernde Hauptvertreter der europäischen Op-Art und zentrale Figur der französischen Nachkriegskunst, dessen Werk sich aus den Lehren des Bauhauses der 1920er-Jahre speist. Die Retrospektive im Städel Museum erschließt Vasarelys sechs Jahrzehnte umfassendes Werk, das für eine vielschichtige, labyrinthische Moderne zwischen Avantgarde und Popkultur steht.
Neben wichtigen Leihgaben etwa aus dem Centre Pompidou in Paris, der Tate Modern in London, dem Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York oder der Michele Vasarely Foundation präsentiert die Ausstellung nicht zuletzt den für die Deutsche Bundesbank geschaffenen Speisesaal als herausragendes Beispiel für Vasarelys raumgreifende architektonische Gestaltungen.

The Vauxhall Victor is a large family car which was produced by Vauxhall Motors, the British subsidiary of General Motors, from 1957 to 1976. The Victor was introduced to replace the outgoing Wyvern model. It was later renamed the VX Series and continued until 1978, by which time it had grown significantly and was viewed, at least in its home market, as a larger-than-average family car.
The Victor was replaced by the Carlton, which was based on the German Opel Rekord D. The last model, the Victor FE, was also manufactured under licence by Hindustan Motors in India as the Hindustan Contessa, during the 1980s and early 1990s, with an Isuzu engine.
The original Victor became Britain's most exported car,[citation needed] with sales in markets as far flung as the United States (sold by Pontiac dealers, as Vauxhall had been part of GM since 1925), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asian right hand drive markets such as Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
In Canada, it was marketed as both the Vauxhall Victor (sold through Pontiac/Buick dealerships) and the Envoy (marketed through Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealers). The Victor was also instrumental in giving Vauxhall its first in-house-designed estate car, which complemented the four-door saloon.
The original Victor, launched on 28 February 1957,[5] was dubbed the F series and saw a production run totalling over 390,000 units. The car was of unitary construction and featured a large glass area with heavily curved windscreen and rear window. Following then current American styling trends, the windscreen pillars sloped backwards. In fact, the body style was derived directly from the classic 57 Chevrolet Belair, though this was not obvious unless the two cars were viewed side by side. Bench seats were fitted front and rear trimmed in Rayon and "Elastofab", and two-colour interior trim was standard. The Super model had extra chrome trim, notably around the windows; remnants of the signature Vauxhall bonnet flutes ran along the front flanks and the exhaust pipe exited through the rear bumper. The car was equipped with arm rests on the doors, door-operated courtesy lights, a two-spoke steering wheel and twin sun visors. An estate variant was launched in 1958. When re-styled, as the series II, the car lost all its '57 Chevy styling detail and the teardrop shaped 'Vauxhall' flutes were replaced by a single chrome side-stripe running nose to tail. The sculpted 'porthole' rear bumper tips, which rusted badly due to exhaust residue, were replaced by plain, straight ones. Interestingly, the old bumper ends continued to be used for many years on a variety of motor coaches and ice-cream vans.
Although the engine was of similar size to that of the outgoing Wyvern it was in critical respects new. Fitted with a single Zenith carburettor it had an output of 55 bhp (41 kW) at 4200 rpm and gained a reputation of giving a long trouble free life. This was also the year when Vauxhall standardized on "premium" grade petrol/gasoline, permitting an increase in the compression ratio from the Wyvern's 6.8:1 to 7.8:1. Premium grade petrol had become available in the UK at the end of 1953, following an end to post-war fuel rationing, and at that time offered average octane level of 93, but in the ensuing four years this had crept up to 95 (RON).[6]
The Victor's three-speed gearbox had synchromesh on all forward ratios and was operated by a column-mounted lever. In early 1958 Newtondrive two pedal control was available as an option.

Suspension was independent at the front by coil springs and with an anti-roll bar was fitted on a rubber mounted cross member. The rear suspension used a live axle and semi elliptic leaf springs. Steering was of the recirculating ball type. Lockheed hydraulic 8 in (203 mm) drum brakes were used.
A "Super" version tested by The Motor magazine in 1957 had a top speed of 74.4 mph (119.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 28.1 seconds. A fuel consumption of 31.0 miles per imperial gallon (9.11 L/100 km; 25.8 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £758 including taxes.[4] The estate car cost GBP931.
A Series II model was announced in 1959 with simplified styling. The new car was available in three versions with a De-Luxe as the top model featuring leather trim and separate front seats.
F Series Victors sedans were assembled at General Motors New Zealand plant in Petone. Most were Supers with column shift, three-speed manual transmission though some base models were made for government fleet contracts. Wagons were imported.
