The diademed sifaka (Propithecus diadema), or diademed simpona, is an endangered species of sifaka, one of the lemurs endemic to certain rainforests in eastern Madagascar. Along with the indri, this species is one of the two largest living lemurs, with an average weight of 6.5 kg and a total adult length of approximately 105 centimetres (41 inches), half of which is its tail. Russell Mittermeier, one of the contemporary authorities on lemurs, describes the diademed sifaka as "one of the most colorful and attractive of all the lemurs", having a long and silky coat. P. diadema is also known by the Malagasy names simpona, simpony and ankomba joby. The term "diademed sifaka" is also used as a group species designation formerly encompassing four distinct subspecies.
P. diadema is readily distinguished from all the other lemur species by its characteristic markings and large physical size. Its entire coat is moderately long, silky and luxuriant. The long white fur encircling his muzzle and covering its cheeks, forehead and chin, engenders the "diadem" or crown appearance. Its eyes are a reddish brown, the muzzle is short, and the face is bare with colourisation of darkish gray to jet black. The crown fur is also quite black and often extends to the nape of the neck. The upper back and shoulder fur are slate grayish, although the lower back is lighter in colour attaining a silvery quality. Flanks and tail are a paler gray, sometimes even white, as is the case for ventral fur. Hands and feet are entirely black, while arms, legs and base of tail are a yellowish-golden hue. Only the male is endowed with a large cutaneous gland at the exterior center of the throat, which feature is typically reddish brown.
A Musketier from (most probably) Kgl. Württembergisches Ersatz-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 51 sporting a rarely seen ersatz bayonet 56 on his kar98. Probably loaned to him for the photo as he has another, more common ersatz bayonet hanging from his belt.
Note: Corduroy pants could have been grey or brown. Concerning the troddel, the ‘Stengel’ yellow colour was extrapolated from the original photo’s grey tones given that the other possibility was red which should appear as almost black. Straps seem to have been white with a red number but light reflected on the fabric might be inducing one in error. Given the existing doubts, the colours chosen for all of the above should be considered for demonstration purposes only.

Another colourisation of one of my very early photographic attempts. Needless to say, back in 1977 my world was black and white as that was all I could half afford.
On this particular day out, courtesy of the PMT / Trent joint service from Hanley we were able to have a nose around the bus station and then go out to Olive Grove garage on foot. At the latter we were readily allowed admission. There were rows of withdrawn AEC Regents on the adjoining parking ground, some Leyland Titans and even the odd Atlantean. Parked on one of the garage's internal roads was DWB 53H, one of Sheffield Corporation's final AECs in the form of a 691 engined Swift. I always thought these PRV/Roe bodied machines to be handsome buses, even in the slightly odd PTE shade of light brown. Some 45 years later, it was pleasant to 're-visit' it and give it a coloured hue from the comfort of my own home.

This photo in B&W form came into my possession if I recall correctly via the PMT archive, having already been scanned by someone else into digital form. Regrettably, when I came to attempt a colourisation, I found disappointlingly that it was of very low resolution. However, the subject matter spurred me on!
The Potteries Motor Traction Co. Ltd. of Woodhouse Street Stoker on Trent were the worlds largest customer for the Daimler Roadliner. In addition to all the buses they bought, they also took six coaches. The 1967 delivery comprised three with Plaxton Panorama 1 bodies, whilst the following year saw three (as here) with Duple's Commander III. If nothing else, they were imposing machines for the day. If the buses led short and often ignoble lives, the coaches served for an even shorter time, about four years from memory.
Here numerically the middle one of the 1968 Roadliner coaches, PVT 101F, makes its way along Woodhouse Street past the old Tramway power house seemingly being driven by an engineering foreman. It appears to be hoping to make the trip across country to Great Yarmouth which would be about a 500 mile round trip from Stoke with pick-ups.

Fantasy colourisation of the sky over Regina, Saskatchewan at sunset. The rays of the setting sun were touching the ground. Shot from the south end of Prince of Wales Drive in the southeast area of the city. The University of Regina campus is visible on the horizon, almost 2 miles away as the crow flies.

Just going through some old pictures and figured this one was ripe for the old selective colour treatment.

The PMT archive again provides the colourisation material for tonight's posting.
Back in 1961 when the Weymann 'semi-lowbridge' bodied Leyland Atlantean 828 KVT was just about new, it had the dubious honour of being the last bus to leave Goldenhill garage. The latter had originally been a tram depot, the most northerly on the Potteries Electric Traction system. With the cessation of tram services to Goldenhill in 1927, it was given over to motorbus operation and remained as such for nearly 35 years.
Following closure, the small allocation was split between Burslem and Biddulph garages and the building sold to a haulage contractor who transported Tate & Lyle sugar. In the early '70s it was finally demolished and replaced by a new 'Mobil' branded service station. Eventually that too succumbed and the plot of land now has flats and housing built on it.
Fantasy colourisation of the sky over Regina, Saskatchewan, just before the sun dipped below the horizon. Shot from the south end of Prince of Wales Drive in the southeast area of the city. Caption inspired by the bits of orange colour that are at the sides, and by Joni Mitchell's song, of course.

I took this in a local pub as some of my friends were playing cards. I thought it would be interesting to do selective colourisation on this to make the cards stand out even more.

"Saints In Colour"
Showing how the Wallingford Screen might have looked in the medieval period - with a 21st century twist. The Cathedral has worked in close partnership with Hogarth, a WPP agency, to explore ground-breaking techniques for bringing history to life, using the latest technology from Panasonic and Epic Games.
Cutting edge scanning and projection techniques using Reality Capture software will bring to life the 15th century screen and 19th century statues with a millimetre accurate 3D scan and re-colourisation, based on historic research by Dr James Alexander Cameron. The colours have been produced by artist Amara Por Dios, and the technology was used to train apprentices in WPP’s Creative Technology Apprenticeship programme, which aims to diversify the emerging technology workforce. St Albans Cathedral is committed to social justice, so we are excited to bring the statues to life in a racially diverse way, reflecting where each of the saints depicted came from.
Another image of premier female impersonator Robbie Ross. I removed the captions, corrected a few imperfections, before my colourising interpretation. The end result was slightly enhanced also

** RESCAN ** IMAGE RESTORED AND COLOURED USING AI
Further to the highly inaccurate, but also highly entertaining, version that it came up with in the previous photostream upload, here's what Google Gemini produced when asked to redo it. It's still not quite right: completely wrong destination and via details; the ventilation grille on the side is now an illegible sticker; the fleet number is gone; the GM-emblem is more like the TfGM version than the GMPTE one; and AI has tried to clone the bus's registration onto the Morris Minor alongside. But hey, let's just go with it anyway.
GMT 1438 (HDB 438V).
Cheetham, Museum of Transport, Boyle Street, 29/03/1980.
Tying in with yesterday's offering, here's an ex NWRCC AEC Renown from the following year's delivery. This batch carried 'B' suffix registrations denoting 1964. Upon the break up of the company under NBC control, the 1963 'VDB . . . ' registered Renowns all passed to Crosville, whilst the 'AJA . . .B' batch went to SELNEC PTE. This photograph however was taken of one of the latter, AJA 122B when it had passed to Cannock area independent Churchbridge Luxury Coaches. The bus had a large fibreglass patch on its offside dome, but I swear I once saw it at Lawton Bodyworks with its nearside dome stoved in. How unlucky can a low height double decker be!?
The photo was taken at Drayton Manor Park back around 1976 / 77 and is another colourisation effort of mine. I seem to recal that the original b&w is somewhere else in the bowels of my photostream if anyone prefers such.

One of my very first attempts. Quite a famous image from bygone days of a young pioneering queen, Laurie Allen. The original is on the left.

A restored and colourised version of the sepia photo shown below.
The girl on the left is Alice Adshead and on the right is her cousin Doris McAuslan (my Grandmother). The photo was taken in about 1902 by Doris' father Norman Jones McAuslan in their garden at New Road, Belper, Derbyshire.
Alice and her sisters who were all born in County Durham, emigrated to Toronto, Canada before 1912 but I have no record of what happened to them after that.
Restored and colourised with Paint Shop Pro.
And now for something a little different. This is a colourised version of a black & white photo of BR 2MT 2-6-2T 84004 in the bay platform at Oswestry (see original b/w below).
Colourisation seems to be becoming popular although complex AI software and a lot of processing power is necessary for the best results. The later versions of Photoshop Elements have colourisation built in but the results, in my opinion, are not very good for railway subjects.
This one was created using the online 9May Russian website and then sharpened a little in Photoshop Elements.

French Journal Day 75 (Travel Diary Day 155)
Twas as dark as the pit at 6:00am this morning as we readied ourselves for the drive up the Pyrenees. Unfortunately we only had about 4 hours for the round trip, and since no-one was around to give us advice on good spots for shooting, we eventually settled on a view-point called Col d’Aspin, an hour drive from our place.
Skirting along the winding ro
ads, we came to a petrol station which was closed. It’s automated credit card pump was available so we pulled in. Under the cover of darkness, in the middle of nowhere, and in freezing temperatures a scantily clad young lass approached me while I was at the pump. She asked me if I was going to a particular town that we’d already passed about 5 miles back. She was looking for a ride, I’d assumed.
I apologised and said we were headed in the opposite direction. In my innocent mind I thought ‘poor girl, walking all that way in these conditions’. When I got into the car and explained the exchange to Rachel. She rather cynically said ‘Are you sure she wasn’t a prostitute?’
I think Rachel got a tinge of jealousy, although she wouldn’t admit it.
She may have been a prostitute but I prefer to think that she saw a handsome fella with a flash Ford Mondeo, sporting a red frilly scarf (I borrowed it from the woman who we are house sitting for), and thought ‘Wow, I wonder if this sexy, kind, and well-dressed man would drive me to work’.
Anyway, the drive was lovely and although our view wasn’t the most spectacular due to lack of planning, I did get some shots of the beautiful snow-capped mountains that have been staring at us for the past 2 days.
The rest of the day was glorious. It was 20C. We ate lunch in the garden and then visited our elderly neighbours who were fantastic. Being so close to Spain, the people here tend to roll their ‘Rs’ instead of the French guttural ‘R’. It’s actually a lovely accent, and quite clear to my untrained ears.
They are the key-bearers to the church next door. We borrowed the keys and spent a few minutes in the 250 year-old establishment taking pictures (see below).
Rachel even forced me to go out for a run. It’s such a rewarding feeling pounding the country roads and paths to the beautiful backdrop of the Pyrenees.
Today’s Photo – l’Eglise
This is the church that the house is attached to.
Many HDRists have said it before, and I’m going to repeat it here – for me, Photomatix is an important step in the HDR process but it is only the beginning. In fact, as you can see below (see blog post for before & After photo - strange-lands.com/daily/2012/12/16/leglise/
), my post-photomatix images are as flat as humanly possible (with the exception of the blown-out light to the left). The last thing I try to achieve in Photomatix is contrast and colourisation. That’s for photoshop and various plugins.
Here I applied various Nik filters in Color Efex, including Detail Extractor, Glamour Glow & a Vignette. I’m very selective about the Detail Extractor. I used it for the wood grain and the details of the window arches to the left mainly.
Well, Gregory Peck really - a screen icon in his most iconic role.

A fabulous image of Harvey Lee from 1936, again the original image and far more information can be found at the excellent Queer Music Heritage Site (www.queermusicheritage.us/f-lee-harvey2.html). This image is claimed as being taken byJames Kriegsmann rom NYC.
To colourise, I greyscaled the image, uniform coloured the border and removed some slight imperfections from the original image.

Quite some time ago, I mentioned a visit to Devon General's Newton Road garage, where in 1977, I found and photographed an ex Exeter Corporation Leyland Panther outshopped in traditional Devon General colours. The Marshall bodied single decker was sitting out in the field behind the garage amongst several withdrawn buses. I posted this shot in original black and white but there's nothing like seeing it represented in colour . . . even if this particular colourisation isn't my favourite. I couldn't fathom out why, several years after the introduction of NBC corporate image (and therefore Poppy Red) this bus appeared to have been outshopped in the old BET style scheme.
Did it ever return to the road? Did it operate in these colours, or was it 'poppied'?
This is an image of (I think) a British Impersonator, named Eric Knight. From the look of the image I would place this as late 1940's. Again if anyone has any further information about this impersonator, I would love to hear from you.
I found the original from a sale on e-bay, I cleaned the image, despeckled it slightly and reverted to greyscale for colourisation. The quality of the subsequent image really leant this to colourisation and the results are shown here side by side.
