Made during 1997-1999, the Pajero Evolution was an homologation special to qualify the race-going versions. It was equipped with 3.5 L V-6 engine that produced 275 hp.
Excerpted from the Wikipedia page: “…The road-legal version of the Pajero Evolution was produced between 1997 and 1999. It was based on the second generation Pajero but had many features unique to the model. Approximately 2693 units were produced in order to homologate the type for the Dakar Rally's production-based T2 class. It was equipped with a 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 6G74 engine with MIVEC and a dual plenum variable intake. This engine produced a claimed 275 bhp at 6500 rpm.[2][4][5] The two-door body incorporated large fender flares, two fin-like rear spoilers, a hood scoop, and various other racing-inspired styling elements. Skid plates and mudflaps were included for additional off-road protection. Double wishbone independent suspension was used on the front and the rear used a multi-link independent suspension unique to the Pajero Evolution. 4WD was standard, with front and rear Torsen differentials….”

Vinyl vs SD card. Well, nowadays you don't even need an SD card anymore, just stream the music you like. So in that sense this picture does not show the latest stage of the evolution (but streaming would be difficult to photograph).
Somehow it turned out to get the vinyl free of dust was a real challenge. I used a special brush and some antistatics but still there was quite some microscopic dust particles. Some of them I could remove with photoshop repair.
So the advantage of the SD card is clearyl it does not suffer from dust. However, it cannot compare in terms of album cover art.
Evolution of the medium that we use as film. I realize some people might swap the last two, but I ordered by size too.

The ceiling of St Paul's Cathedral in London, apparently depicting scenes of evolution.
"The images, painted by William Blake Richmond in 1890, could appear to depict the theory of evolution. Internet giant Google has been detailing every inch of the building using high-resolution cameras that have, for the first time, shown the 30 metre-high ceiling in great detail.
The cathedral's head of collections, Simon Carter, told The Times newspaper that the mosaic appears to support Darwin's theories about the survival of the fittest - which he said is shown through a depiction of a fish with teeth 'fighting for survival.' From the ground and looking up at the ceiling, Simon Carter, said that the fish image appeared to be a 'calm mill pond.' He added that when seen on Google images, though, the scene looked 'tumultuous'.
'The fish are writhing around, they have massive teeth, and are pretty scary.' He continued: 'With the fishes, it looks like they are struggling for survival. "It is red in tooth and claw. Richmond was obviously driving at something else.'
Simon Carter then went on to say how, when the mosaic was commissioned in 1890, Charles Darwin's theories were still controversial. At the time, the Church was still grappling with his work, The Origin of Species, that had been published 40 years prior. The Church of England apologised for dismissing the work and ideas of Darwin in 2008."
Hard to believe (for some) but there was a day when cash was used more than credit cards. The first credit card was the 1950 cardboard Diners Club card in New York City - 2 years later it was being used in several countries around the world, and by 1958 banks were getting in on the "charge-it" game. In Canada, the evolution of "plastic banking" led to the demise of the penny in 2013. Another example of financial evolution is the Future Shop electronics store charge card ... they ceased business in Canada in 2015, becoming part of the Best Buy electronics emporium.

Hippeastrum, these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").

Plus d'une centaine de structures lumineuses inédites, fruits du travail de recherche et de reconstitution des paléontologues du Muséum, représentent les étonnantes espèces qui ont peuplé la Terre au cours des 600 derniers millions d'années. Vous y verrez des « célébrités » du passé, comme des dinosaures, mais aussi des espèces méconnues qui vous surprendront par leurs formes étonnantes et leurs modes de vie singuliers.
The giraffe is the perfect animal to teach people about evolution. Natural selection teaches us about small mutations and how these give individuals an advantage over time. Being able to reach food where no other animals can clearly is the favored trait of the giraffe. Surprisingly, they do not contain more vertebrae in their necks but instead each one is much larger - up to 11 inches each! Lake Manyara National Park in Africa is a great spot to see giraffes. A storm builds over on the horizon as a male and female move in synchronization to the next acacia tree.
