Grandmother visiting our farm back in 1964. From left my mother's half-brother Villum Jensen, my grandmother Magdalene Jensen, my mother Lily Hansen, my sister Lene and myself with the cat Pjevs. Our uncle lived in Motala, Sweden, but had been visiting grandmother in Klokkerholm, Jutland and then drove her all the way over here in his Volvo 544. Magdalene was actually our mother's stepmother, but a very sweet and kind old lady. Sweden still had left-hand traffic back then, so the Volvo was a weird sight with it's steering wheel in the "wrong" side.

I saw this beautiful truck in the parking lot and had to get a shot before I left. I really hope to run into it when she's got her make up on.

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.
Always wanted to try making one of these, but never had the shot to work from!

Out of about 100 Ruxtons that were actually produced, the second front wheel drive American street auto, some 6 months behind Cord, and even less 'ready for prime time', it is estimated there are less than 20 left. 16 of these were at Pebble Beach, and most are owned by the same man. Ruxtons are very low compared to say a Packard, with the flat floor. The unusual striped paint jobs were offered by the factory to emphasize the low (read sexy) height. Having a wonderfully art deco griffin as the mascot (not seen on the hood here, but the design is on the hubcaps), and most had the very sexy, but very very poorly illuminating 'Wood's Lite' head lights. Still if you have the mechanical genius, and the funds to keep them on the road, they are Stunning in real life. The sporty European look, dispensing with the running board was typical, and I think, very effective, as the car is too low to stand on the running board as help in entering, and the look is wonderful. Look at big to appreciate the color scheme.

When we visited the United Kingdom last year, we had developed an itinerary based on catching up with friends in Northern Ireland and Ireland. We planned for sightseeing the first four days in London once arriving at Heathrow, mainly to acclimate our body clocks to a five-hour time difference, but also to take advantage of the London Passes. We had a little problem, though… our connector flight from Raleigh/Durham to Kennedy International was late due to thunderstorms in New York. Once it got here, storms in this area grounded it for the remainder of the day. We wound up having to drive from RDU to Kennedy or lose two days before catching the flight over. As it was, our London Passes were rendered useless for this trip… but they were good for a year. So, we returned this year to make use of them.
We decided this year to focus on England and spend four days in London attending sites of our choosing… this image of the London Eye was just icing on the cake after a day of touring Greenwich. We had just come off a London Water Bus on the Thames to the Westminster Millenium Pier near Parliament. It was dusk when we arrived, but after being on foot for over 8-miles that day, we just waited for darkness to fall to get a good long exposure of Jubilee Gardens to smooth out the Thames for some good reflections.
The London Eye opened the 31st of December in 1999. At the time, it was the tallest Ferris wheel at 446 feet. Sir Richard Rogers, the winner of the 2007 Pritzker Architecture Prize, wrote of the London Eye in a book about the project:
"The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris, which is to give it a symbol and to let people climb above the city and look back down on it. Not just specialists or rich people, but everybody. That's the beauty of it: it is public and accessible, and it is in a great position at the heart of London."

Edinburgh's Usher Hall underwent a major refurbishment in 2009 when this staircase with the light saber down the centre was added. I had seen Semi-d's brilliant shots of the stairs on Flickr, but saw the staircase for the first time in the flesh only recently when I was there for a concert (Toumani Diabaté - wonderful). I knew right away that I would have to arrange to come back to photograph them. Thanks to Usher Hall staff for being so helpful.

Yet another example of appalling scanning. Why oh why oh why are photo processing outfits in the UK operated by charlatans and mountebanks? I put it to you that these scoundrels couldn't scan a slide decently if they tried. And they just don't. Or can't.
