Oops! I got the votes too late! I couldn't wait to get my blocks together and decided to just go for the total wonky effect! Slanted my blocks! I hope I didn't make a mistake!
The switching layout is now pretty much finished. All areas are polished off and it’s a blast to operate. I’ve been quite happy with all the subtle details I’ve been able to model with this layout. It’s very fun to operate and I think really compliments whatever is running at the time!
The accompanying image was taken on the 17th February, 2020 and remains to be published, along with more material from that date, in the next few days.
The 1st of the two Archive Sites is now complete and all the material, 995 pictures, are below. These date from 10th May, 2011 up until and including the 1st of June 2016. Archive 2 will now be populated with the remainder of the recently deleted images, from 3rd June 2016 up until and including 9th April, 2018, and this should be ready within a week or so.
Image Archive 1, 10/5/2011 - 1/6/2016. is at-
Image Archive 2, 3/6/2016 - 9/4/2018, is at-
the latter one only contains a single image at present.
The normal Flickr site, 'Views in Camera',
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku
currently contains all the important stuff, 990 pictures, and that will now remain in tact, with the 'best' pictures and videos from 2011 until the end of December, 2019 with all the attendant comments, albums, groups and view numbers. This new site here, 'Views in Camera 2020', will now be home to pictures and videos, taken from January 1st this year and, to that end, I have uploaded this years 27 images/videos, from the old site, 'Views in Camera', to this new one, to get things going. A link has been placed on the 'Views in Camera' site, in the description of what's going on, beneath the most recent image, indicating these changes... I hope this isn't all too much of an imposition, but I have taken this opportunity of change, to sort out what was a hugely burgeoning set of material and try and bring some order to it all, partly prompted by the recent price hike in the Pro membership...
As mentioned in the earlier picture, see link above, the solution to the image limit here can be addressed by posting one or two pictures here, from what I consider a set when I go out shooting stuff, the main picture(s) will appear here and the support images will be available on my own website,
just the supporting images will be there, titled again after removing this some months ago as an inconvenience, they will be put back as there will be no other identification available, just the supporting images. The links for them will be here in the text narrative for the main image(s) and there will be only one narrative piece for the set of images, unlike earlier pictures here where the text has varied from one shot to another, to cover differences in what's visible. Although some, including to some extent myself, don't like the mosaic method of presenting more than one picture with, occasionally here, a 3x3, 4x4 or even 5x5, option being used, it does mean that Flickr classes this as one picture or so will still be used from time-to-time...
The link to the new site is-
www.flickr.com/photos/VinC2020
and this will be the Flickr presence I will now use to upload pictures, for a while this will not contain too many links to the
site, which is being used for 'overflow', when a handful of shots or taken but with only 1 main subject, this will keep under control, filling out this site with material amounting to around 4 out of 5 not really pertinent to the main subject; something in the past I have been guilty of not taking too much heed over! In fact, since 2011, I have taken just under 50,000 shots and only 5,450 of those have found their way onto the 'Views in Camera' site.
From today, I hope to start the large Archive picture up-load but it will take some time, around 5-6hours, (WRONG, actually 22 hours for the 1st one, that's about 1m 30s per picture!), for each Archive as the pictures have to be re-built with names, text, tags and the album to which they belong; all comments and number of views will, sadly, be lost.

SET 1 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
Last up for this first set of 5, our first look at the completed façade renovations to the existing part of the building! When last we saw this scene, it was still under construction (and it looked even crazier the time before that!). I’d say the new design turned out quite well, and I like the symmetry of the vestibules. I will say that my opinion of the design is influenced heavily by the metal’s interaction with the brick; this design language has evolved into the newest Kroger façades, which I’m not really a big fan of. But thankfully, Kroger – whether on their own, or at the behest of the City of Oxford – opted to keep the existing brick here, and match it on the new portions of the building.

Having owned the 2008 Kona Sutra for ten months, and just completed the first chain/cassette replacement, I thought it was about time for a long term review, to give other people an idea of what living with the Sutra has been like. My previous post explains why I chose the Sutra - I came up with what I thought was an impossibly eclectic list of requirements from a bicycle, and the Sutra ticked every single box.
Here's some specs, for the statophiles out there: Frame size C54cm Frame tubing Dedacciai COM 12.5 Butted Cromoly Fork Kona P2 700c TB Disc w/Lowrider Headset TH Crankarms FSA Gossamer MegaExo Chainrings 30/39/50 B/B FSA MegaExo Pedals Shimano PD-M520 SPD - Silver Chain Shimano HG53 --> Shimano HG93 XT Freewheel Shimano Deore (11-32, 9 Spd) --> Shimano XT M760 (11-32, 9spd) F/D Shimano Tiagra Triple R/D Shimano XT Shadow Shifters Shimano Bar-Con Handlebar FSA RD30 0S Stem FSA OS-190LX Grips Velo Wrap with Gel Brakes Avid BB7 Road Disc Brake Levers Shimano BLR-600 Front Hub Shimano M525 Disc Rear Hub Shimano M525 Disc Spokes DT Stainless 14g Tires Continental Contact 700 x 32C --> Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x38c Rims Mavic A 317 Disc Saddle Selle Italia XO SE --> Brooks B17 Seatpost FSA SL-280 Seat Clamp Kona Clamp Rear Rack Tubus Logo Panniers Bikebins Computer Sigma DTS 1606 L Fenders SKS Chromoplastic
My primary (i.e. 99% of the time) use of the Sutra has been for commuting. I have covered over 2700 miles (4500km) in the time I have owned it. My commuting route through London is pretty tough on bikes - the roads south of the Thames are awful and full of potholes, through the City there is broken glass all over the place, and further north of the river there are speedbumps everywhere. When I first got the Sutra she was wearing Continental Contact tyres, and they were pretty poor for commuting. They punctured easily and transmitted the bumpiness of the road right up into my forearms. Not much fun. After one puncture too many I replaced the tyres with Schwalbe Marathon Pluses, in their largest diameter, and the difference was marked. The increased volume of air provides a lot more cushioning for the arms, and I have not had a single puncture yet, despite having pulled 6mm long pieces of glass out of the tyre surfaces. The tyres are relatively heavy, but then so is the rest of the bike, and extra weight makes you stronger!
The original rear rack was pretty flimsy, and it did not allow the attachment of the Bikebin panniers I bought to try and add some rigidity. I ended up having to angle grind chunks out of the rack to fit the panniers, which can't have improved their structural integrity. After a month of experiencing the odd sensation of the bike wagging its tail whenever I stood up to pedal hard, I bit the bullet and upgraded the rack to a Tubus Logo. It was a tight fit with the rear disc brake, but the difference was immense. Gone was the sensation of a jelly-like bike, to be replaced by a sensation of rigid stability. Whilst the rack was expensive, it made all the difference, and I would highly recommend it.
Speaking of the brakes, they have saved my life on more than one occasion, usually when a Taxi decides to perform an emergency stop to pick up a fare. The brakes stop consistently in all conditions, and so far I have not had to replace the pads, althoguh I think it will be time to do it soon. Not bad considering I have travelled almost five thousand kilometres in all weathers in the stop-start conditions of London. I was concerned that the brakes might be too powerful, but the modulation provided by the levers and the flex in the arm of the brake means that whilst the power is there if necessary, you have a lot of control over it. There is some disc drag, but this is owing more to my laziness than the brakes themselves, and seems to have little impact on cruising speeds.
Using the bike in all conditions has been excellent. The all-over fenders (something I have never fitted to a bike previously) really keep the rain off and eliminate spray from the road. I had to saw a bit of the front fender off to fit it over the larger tyres, and a little bit off the rear for the same reason, but after the modification they have been flawless.
I had heard reports of spokes snapping, and nothing happened to me until recently, when I noticed a detached spoke whilst replacing the rear cassette. I had no idea how long the spoke had been damaged for, and replaced it myself. The rear wheel is slightly askew, but it does not foul on anything, which is good considering the small tolerance between it and the fender. To be fair, I have been jumping off kerbs and sometimes it is impossible to miss a massive hole in the road when you are in busy traffic. An upgrade I am considering is a stronger rear wheel, although it is not pressingly urgent.
The ride of the bike is super smooth, and certainly not anything like the road bikes I am used to. I use my other road bike for triathlons, and whilst it is a lot more nimble, it is much less comfortable. The Sutra is comfortable all day long, owing in no small part to the Brooks B17 saddle, which took about two thousand miles to properly break in! It was worth it though - sitting on the bike is like sitting in an armchair (albeit a very odd armchair, but an armchair nonetheless). I tend to cruise at about 20mph on her, and my 10.5 mile commute to work takes about 37 minutes. I have started seeking out hills in preparation for some touring of Wales, and the sutra certainly loves to climb. The aggressive, mountain-bike-like frame geometry no doubt assists in this, and is confidence inspiring when climbing and descending. The bar-con shifters were a novelty for me, but they make a lot of sense, especially if replacement shifters were needed on a tour. There are even bosses on the downtube to fit truly old-school shifters in an emergency.
The weight of the bike was a shock initially - weighing in at 15kgs without the accessories, she weighs significantly more than my Specialized Hardrock mountain bike, which is saying something! Over time I have become accustomed to the weight, and now it feels normal. The main advantage of this is that when I ride anything else, it feels super light and goes very rapidly. This makes this bike an ideal training steed.
In conclusion, I have found a lot to love about the Kona Sutra - she's tough, strong and surprisingly fast. There were some niggles about fitting add-ons, but they were all easy to overcome, and the result has been a reliable bike that I think will keep delivering for years.
At long last I have completed the garden and patio project here at Palm Lake Fern Bay, time it took was a bit shorter than I thought, now we wait for the plants to mature. Erika is very pleased with the result
