The Rocketeer Ready Room is fully stocked with a supply of rocket packs, ready to save the day at a moment's notice.
In reality, this is the prop room that was once part of the backlot tour.
This is a screen-grab from the blog of Grimsby-based Rod Collins (www.rodcollins.com), who posts old photos of my one-time home town. Even though I moved away back in 1963, I enjoy reminders of the place that helped forge my worldview.
Here, Rod posted a scene painted by transport artist G.S. Cooper, asking “Who remembers Rayner’s record shop?”, as advertised on the front of the bus. Plenty of us do, but more than that, a host of us omnibologists (aka superannuated bus spotters) came out of the woodwork to post chapter and verse on the bus depicted, plus comments on a couple of inaccuracies and anachronisms in the scene.
In brief, we see former London Transport AEC Regent II STL2689 (HGC222) in Old Market Place, Grimsby, on the 45 service (joint with Lincolnshire Road Car Co.) to Immingham Docks. The route was introduced in early 1960, to replace British Railways’ Grimsby & Immingham Electric Railway service. The bus is erroneously given the Grimsby-Cleethorpes fleet number of 48. In reality, it was 43. Sister bus No.47 survives in preservation, restored to its original identity of STL2692, one of a batch of 20 that were painted green and based in Watford.
Grimsby took six such buses in 1955, enabling trolleybuses to be withdrawn from the 10 route between Riby Square and Weelsby Road (Peakes Lane). Other buses from the batch went to Widnes and Dundee.
The Dulux ad on the side of the bus suggests a date of 1965. Trolleybus poles are also evident, although the wiring was removed with the ending of trolleybus operation in June 1960. A Trojan van, once modelled by Dinky Toys, is just behind. At the far left is the Yarborough Hotel of 1863, then as now one of GY’s more salubrious watering holes, these days in the care of JD Wetherspoon.
Whilst I have been dismayed by the wholesale demolition of the Grimsby landmarks of my childhood, this scene can almost be replicated today. In place of the AEC Regent, there would be a Stagecoach East Midlands Dennis Dart or Trident, without doubt cast-offs from other parts of the corporate empire.
Artist G.S. Cooper may have taken liberties with the livery and all-round presentation of the bus: Grimsby’s salty North Sea air quickly dulled the lustre of the blue and cream.

...can a branch and a reflected cloud secretly talk about their common watery destiny? Believe me, yes...
"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." - Albert Einstein
.

In order to gain freedom you have to be able to change your own destiny or nothing will occur. We have to take responsability of who we are and to accept that we are going in the wrong direction. It's also quite contradictory to feel compassion when we are sorrounded by hate and betrayal, it's a hard work to do but it's worthed. Love is the answer and when we better ourselves, we better the world. Although this, I feel frustrated sometimes...

-----------------------------------------
Si verdaderamente buscas la libertad tienes que ser capaz de cambiar tu destino o por el contrario nada ocurrirá. Tenemos que tomar la responsabilidad de quienes somos y darnos cuenta de que estamos mal direccionados. La cárcel está en nuestras cabezas y sólo nosotros mismos podemos liberarnos.... pero la paradoja está en que tenemos que encontrar la paz interior en un ambiente completamente hostil. La rabia y la frustración se me clavan por dentro pero al final lo único que me queda es intentar creer en mi y continuar mi propio camino, incansable...

Not sure if this is the best shot I got of the London scene in Peter Pan's Flight but am under the weather and heading out to Los Angeles and honestly have not had time to look at the pictures I took on the trip, so I thought I would throw it up to Flickr.
I made it a goal to get this monkey off my back. I had to throw the kitchen sink at it, ISO 25,600, I used an F2.8 16mm because it was not as dramatic when manually focusing,spot metering, and between 2-3 stops down on EV. I also aimed at the blue in the frame to draw as much light on the sensor as possible.
While the 'ambo' crews throughout the county congregate for an update on the latest in emergency care, they've got a few pickup trucks and a hearse on stand-by in case a call comes in for a meat wagon in the meantime.
