New stuff doesn't usually have the character I adore. The rust, the chipped paint, the history.
HMM!
(MacroMondays - Evolution)
McCall's Volvo B7RLE MCV Evolution stands at Whitesands Dumfries before working the 385 service to Annan I saw BF62 UYM at Castle Douglas a few weeks ago on the 502 during the big freeze when it was covered in road grime. Today it was a bit cleaner for a photo!

35mm colour film negatives, memory stick and a digital bridge camera. (Not to mention the DSLR I took the shots on) The transition from film negatives and transparencies to digital, be it for files or photography, has been profound. When I first dealt with digital files a 1meg file was considered huge. The Syquest cartridges that supported our back-up was 44 or 88 meg that became hugely expensive at £50/100 a cartridge and equally inadequate. How times have changed with tiny memory sticks capable of holding an inordinate amount of data through to everyday usage we now take for granted … this list goes on!
Homemade traditional hard soap has been replaced with pump action liquid soaps made from chemical compounds and preservatives. This is some of our homemade soap which contains honey from our hives. It is rich and creamy and leaves your hands lovely and soft 😊

It seems that evolution does not always stick to the correct order ...
Taken 1980 in Paderborn, Germany with Rolleiflex 3.5F on Kodak negative film.
Seen here is the evolution of my light cruiser design.
In this picture they are sorted by the "era" that they represent, the botoom one is a treaty cruiser from the late 20s, the midle one an early WW II cruiser while the top one is represents a mid-war cruiser.
The order by which I build them is somewhat different though, the middle one came first, than the bottom one, then the top one.
One of these pieces of plastic holds one music track (well, two actually if you count the B side!) and one of them holds up to 16,000! If that's not evolution then I don't know what is!
South Wales Transport has (so far) operated seven MCV Evolutions - AE08 DJZ, AE08 DLF, AJ58 PZN, PZO, PZP & PZR had the original style of bodywork mounted on Alexander Dennis E200 chassis, whilst Volvo B7RLE BU14 EGD carried the 'Mark 2' style. All were built after UK production had transferred to Egypt.
The four 58-plates were 10.7m variants and new to the company in Autumn 2008. They remained until early 2014 when replaced by Wright StreetLites. The batch stayed together and were then operated by University Bus (Uno) of Hatfield until 2018.
This shot from July 2013 shows AJ58 PZP leaving Victoria Gardens in Neath when operating Service 251 to Cimla. This, and Service 252 via Westernmoor, were originally competitive strikes against First Cymru, but First Cymru subsequently gave them up. Both are still operated.

Three of us, two retired men (one who who wasn't sure if he could hike 50 plus miles; that would be me) and a young fit man who could have easily hiked twice as far in the 6 days we were on the trail started hiking at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended our hike at North Lake. According to a more accurate account than I can generate we hiked 55 miles, gained 8,730 feet and lost 9,200 feet elevation. This area, part in Kings Canyon National Park and part in the John Muir Wilderness is about 20 miles southwest from Bishop, California.

Hyacinth Evolution
I planted 15 indoor hyacinths ready for Christmas. Three came into full flower after January 1st, the others are still emerging from the soil.
One has yet to burst into life at all. But at least I have a range of hyacinths to choose from.
Three different hyacinths are featured here and I should have 3 different colours when they are all finally in bloom. In my mind I had an image I wanted to create but with all the bulbs and different colours maturing at different rates, I'll just have to be happy with what Nature reveals to me, in her timescale not mine.
3 are now in flower and the distinctive hyacinth scent is very strong, although the pink version has a very noticeable "oak" smell about it which the red and blue ones don't have.
Inspired by the idea of a 52 week project for taking photos of flowers without colour.
abstracted version.....
