Honda introduced the Element in 2002. The rear doors open backwards and there is no B-pillar. It was not sold in Europe so most probably this one was imported from the USA. The Element was discontinued in 2011 without a direct successor.
Where birding takes most of my time lately, once and a while the wide angle comes out of the pocket.
These are the "Elementen" in Zoetermeer, three towers and a shopping mall that forms the heart of the newest part in town.
Actually taken during the blue hour, click here for the colored version.
Candidate ‘green’ satellite propellants within a temperature-controlled incubator, undergoing heating as a way to simulate the speeding up of time.
Today hydrazine is the most common propellant employed by thrusters aboard satellites: it is highly energetic in nature but also toxic and corrosive, as well as dangerous to handle and store. ESA initiated a study with European Astrotech Ltd in the UK to look into greener propellants and propulsion systems, to provide comparable performance with reduced toxicity and handling costs.
The testing investigated the compatibility between a variety of current and future materials and weld combinations with two propellant candidates in detail while checking others as well. By using materials already present in propulsion systems, the aim is to help to reduce any necessary modifications needed, shrinking costs and development times.
An eight-month test cycle became the equivalent of 5.33 years on-orbit by elevating temperature, hunting out for any degradation in the welds, materials and propellants – such as broken welds, material mass loss or etching.
Two green propellants called LMP-103S – flight-tested on Sweden’s Prisma formation flying mission – and HTP – high-test peroxide, previously used in past UK rockets – were shown to have compatibility with up to ten welded materials (while HTP was incompatible with titanium).
The project was supported through ESA’s Technology Development Element, investigating promising innovations for space.
It comes in response to the European Commission’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) regulation, that seeks to limit industry’s use of chemical substances that may be hazardous to human health or the environment.

Honda introduced the Element in 2002. The rear doors open backwards and there is no B-pillar. It was not sold in Europe so most probably this one was imported from the USA. This one is a quite special monochrome version. The Element was discontinued in 2011 without a direct successor.
Industry has always been one of my favourite subjects for photography. Inside Battersea Power Station control room B there are dials, gauges, levers and much more to keep me shooting away for hours. In fact I did 4 trips here in the space of a month. One of the more exciting trips this one :)
Abstract from a Norfolk beach taken in a VERY cold, grey and misty summer (but then, as I have been reminded, I like the cold. Just normally I'm prepared for it....).
Now that I'm back (on a *cool* day, as they say here), I agree - freezing was better than this ;-)
The first block for Earth is carved! (We're making a woodcut set of the Elements ~ Earth Water Fire Air)

Tréguier est une commune, chef-lieu de canton du département des Côtes-d'Armor, dans la région Bretagne, en France. Tréguier est la capitale historique du Trégor. Cathédrale, ruelles et maisons à pans de bois comptent parmi les éléments caractéristiques de cette ancienne cité épiscopale.
