Like a ferris wheel, has it's ups and downs
Like a ferris wheel life has it's high points
Like a ferris wheel lifehas it's own conductor
If you are in controlof you life your, your own ferris wheel conductor
If you aren't well.. there is wither someone else in control or no one
Your life is either Joyous
A terror
depressing
slow
or badly in need of a mechanic
...or is it too late?

Mickey's Fun Wheel is a 160-foot tall eccentric wheel at Disney California Adventure, at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Mickey's Fun Wheel has a large Mickey Mouse face at its center.
The spiral staircase built by Giuseppe Momo is called the Momo Staircase or the Snail Staircase. It is made out of two wrought iron stairways, with one going up and one going down. It is formatted in the curve of a double helix, which wasn’t Momo’s original intention. It just so happened that years later, the helix would become a recognisable symbol of life.

Sunset at Central Pier, Blackpool, Lancashire
Ahh, Blackpool. The Las Vegas of the UK. My hometown although I have not lived there since 1996 but I do live in its neighbouring town, Preston so it is only a hop, skip and a jump in the car to reach and the UK's most popular coastal resort certainly offers up some gems to photograph.
For a start, Blackpool has not one, two but THREE PIERS. They are all around 150 years old so the upkeep on them is tremendous but Central Pier is the 'fun pier' for it has fairground rides and a huge ferris wheel to ride on.
So last week I ventured down for a couple of hours and I managed to wander onto the pier as there seemed to be a fair amount of activity going on. Turns out, the TV show The Bay was filming at the bottom of the pier so it was assumed that I was part of the crew but once it became apparent that I wasn't, I was politely informed that I would have to leave, but I was fortunate enough to capture this scene before packing up. The secret is setting up and working quickly but the security guard was a lovely chap so it was all good.

In the 1950s Hoffman was the sole importer of Porsche products into the U.S. He had told Ferry Porsche that Americans didn’t buy cars with numbers – only cars with names – and he suggested the 1955 models should all have names. He had already established this precedent with Porsche’s limited production America Roadster in 1952 and with the 1954 Speedster, a stripped-down, low-priced 356 roadster only offered in the U.S. at just $2,995.[1] For 1955 he convinced Porsche to badge the 356 coupes and cabriolets as the “Continental” to reflect their European origins. Perhaps Max Hoffman was channeling Edsel Ford. Interestingly, by the time Ford Motor Company noted their objections, Karosserie Reutter had already punched holes in about 200 sets of front fenders! The Pre-A coupes and cabriolets were already wearing the “Continental” nameplate. In addition, the earliest 356A models, introduced late in 1955, also had fenders punched with nameplate holes. The quick fix was a switch from the gold-colored Continental script to the name European on early 1956 models.
The so-called “Pre-A” designation was added later in Porsche history to distinguish the new cars introduced in October 1955 from earlier 356 coupes and cabriolets and the very first Speedster models built in 1954. The Pre-A cars (coupe and cabriolet) are actually more interesting to examine because of their unique styling traits, which differed noticeably from the 356A versions. One of the more distinguishing characteristics was the rear fender treatment, which had a wider, more graceful wheel arch, covering more of the tire. Other production changes that occurred during Pre-A production, particularly in 1952, included redesigning the bumpers, which were originally integrated into the body until October 1952 (1953 models) after which bumpers were separate pieces mounted through the body as seen on the 1955 Continental cabriolet pictured from the Barry and Glynette Wolk collection. The first use of separate bumpers was on the America in 1951-52. Other running changes included replacing the original split windshield with curved, one-piece glass beginning in March 1952, and dropping the temperamental 4-speed crash box for a new synchromesh transmission in 1953. The 1952 models were also among the first to come equipped with the more powerful 1500 Super motor (beginning in March 1952), upping displacement from 1.3 to 1.5 liters (91 cubic inches). The smaller VW-based 1100cc engines also remained available through the 1954 model year. The engines in the first production cars had been modified VW motors fitted with new aluminum cylinder heads. Porsche increased the flat four’s swept volume to 1488cc by lengthening the stroke 10mm and using a new die-forged Hirth[2] crankshaft. Bore x stroke were now 80 x 74mm, however, at 1.5 liters the VW engine had been taken as far as its design would permit. Porsche would have to begin building their own engines if they wanted to go beyond the 1.5 liter’s capacity. Chief engineer, Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, had already begun to tackle this problem in 1950 under the product designation Carrera, the Spanish word for race, which by the end of the decade was to become synonymous with the Porsche name.

As the new year approaches, I thought it would be time for another forced perspective shot of Ruby, my 1/18th scale model 1930 Alfa Romeo parked by the bird pond in our retirement village. She will be 95 years old in the new year - older than most of the residents in the retirement village here!
Ruby looks great from any angle, but the rear view highlights many little details including the instruments on the dashboard which feature real metal chromed surrounds and actual glass faces over the dials. Those wonderful spoke wheels are all removable by undoing the spinner lock. She has real rubber Pirelli branded tyres (tires), and they even feature an air valve - a tiny detail I have not found on many of my other model cars of this scale.
What really stands out for me is the fact that back then (the 1930s) they had the wisdom to include two spare wheels. I know roads would have been rougher back then and tyre quality would not have been as good as today's modern tyres, but it is a stark reminder that these days we are lucky if we get any spare wheel at all. You might get a space saver if you are lucky - most of which can only be used on the rear - but the current trend is to give you a can of spray (useless if you get a gash in the sidewall of the tyre). All so they can save weight to meet fuel efficiency standards.
Most people are probably lucky enough to go through their motoring lives without ever having a puncture, but somehow, I have managed to have at least 50 since I started driving 45 years ago. Give me a full size spare tyre any day. Space savers and repair kits are only good for around 80km before you must find a dealer and have the tyre properly repaired. Fine if you live in a city and are near dealers who can help, but hopeless for rural folks who may be a long way from any tyre retailer or may be on an overnight journey.
The moral of the story from car manufacturers (and government regulators) today is - "please get a flat tyre in cities or towns only, and preferably during business hours.....we have graciously included this advice for your convenience!"
End of rant - I feel better now! ; )
Musée d'Orsay is housed in the former gare d'Orsay, a beaux-arts railway station build in the late 1800's. This is one of the giant clocks on the fifth floor with a stunning view over the Seine, the Louvre and in the distance the Sacre Coeur.

Hi, I took this picture in Cambridge outside one of University College Gates. How extraordinary to see a couple's emotions running high. Looking carefully, I think they are arguing? I took the photo anyway.
