Not much in the way of post-production was needed here; the subject itself has a very strange perspective feel to it, which I managed to capture decently in the shot.

One of the several new agates I found in the Doebbler caliche pits on March 9, 2008. It has anglular shapes which may indicate it formed between crystals or brecciated rock, such as limestone.
Curiously angular house (the rooms must be very oddly shaped, and difficult to furnish efficiently) on the corner of Gainsborough's Cromwell Street. The reason for the curious shape is that the railway line (built before the street) crosses here at an oblique angle. There are a number of such houses whose corners are not right angles along this section of the railway line.

The first time I got up close and personal with an F117 Stealth Fighter at one of the Mildenhall Air Fetes ( year? ) I remember the armed sentries around it that were looking menacing....

No tradename is known for this egyptian/antique face. Nicolette Gray attributes it to the Marr TF in c1853.¹ Oddly enough, she cites no catalogs issued between 1843 and 1860; perhaps an interim specimen was available to her research.
The temporary tradename is drawn from apt text selected for a specimen shown by the Johnson TF ≤1867.²
This face is not the earliest-known example of a three-dimensional "beveled" type design. On the contrary, Kelly writes that a sans-serif one tradenamed Octagon# (Solotype Wood Type Nugget#²) was shown in 1838 by George Nesbitt.
Nesbitt, a New York printer, was the sales agent for wood types produced by Edwin Allen (Windham, CT), apparently the only supplier he represented. Kelly adds that "the design is believed to have originated in France."⁴

²The date 1867 is deduced from the stereotyped(?) specimen published by MSJ in July 1869, which is imprinted L. Johnson & Company while other pages are marked MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan. According to Annenberg [164], “Lawrence Johnson died on April 26, 1860, but the firm continued to operate and distribute type catalogs with his name until 1867.”

this didn't go exactly as i had planned. i didnt want to be able to see the trampoline in the picture at all, but oh well.
390xxx, Leighton Buzzard, 12.08.2012.
Now I'm not the biggest fan of Pendolinos, but I am beginning to appreciate that they can produce a nice photo, if you go about it the right way. Here, a London-bound Virgin Trains Pendolino leans into the curve, as it exits Linslade Tunnel and approaches Leighton Buzzard station. Line speed here was 80mph for many years, but is now 125mph.
The train is missing the front cover that hides the Dellner coupling.
A new one for me. This paused only briefly. Not a great trip for butterflies due to some unseasonably cool weather, though pleasant for humans.
