I was talking with a friend of a friend at the Abbey and I just had to try on his XL motorcycle helmet while he's here on the last weekend of Bike Week. It fit nicely around my big head and you know I had to capture this :)
All my lovely creatures...except Dru.. she's still waiting for the re-root..

New helmet time - a Uvex I-Volute (silly name). So far so good. It's lighter than the one it's replacing. For many years I didn't wear a helmet until my family pressured me.
Now, younger viewers need to appreciate it's not easy posting a photo of yourself. I'm getting older. I'm 56. Things are are changing. It wasn't that long ago that the selfie didn't even exist.

Helmet used to dive in the East River. The helmet is equipped with a radio communication device so the diver can communicate with the rest of the crew when he's under water.
The reflections of the row of nearby motorcycles in this super shiny chrome helmet caught my eye. :)
Saving a bunch of photos from our local Car & Motorcycle Show to albums, no need to comment. About 250 cars. Sorry for so many. It was canceled last year due to Covid so we were happy they could have it again this year.

My friend Ellen made "Caution: Cat Vomit" floor signs like the caution: wet floor signs used by janitors everywhere. She also printed up some stickers with the puking cat, which I put on both my helmets.
This is my 5th attempt at making my Samurai helmet beetle, but this time I had bought Binsen paper (probably handmade). This paper is very thin and was perfect for making my model.
The beetle was also wet folded so it can have a 3D look and detail.
The background is Japanese Unryu paper over a bigger sheet of Yamato black.

The Helmet is a piece of public art that was commissioned by the then MP Tufton Beamish in 1964 and commemorates the Battle of Lewes fought in 1264. The embattled King Henry III stayed here before fighting the battle against the Barons led by Simon de Montfort. It is widely regarded that the outcome of the Battle which was won by the Barons led to the setting up of the English Parliament. Simon de Montfort didn't live long to see the fruits of his victory though - he was killed at the Battle of Evesham the following year.
Scenes from the Battle of Lewes encircle the helm on a bronze chaplet with a quotation from the Song of Lewes reading:
NOW ENGLISHMEN, READ ON ABOUT THIS BATTLE FOUGHT AT LEWES' WALLS. BECAUSE OF THIS YOU ARE ALIVE AND SAFE. REJOICE THEN IN GOD. LAW IS LIKE FIRE, FOR IT LIGHTS AS TRUTH, WARMS AS CHARITY, BURNS AS ZEAL. WITH THESE VIRTUES AS HIS GUIDES, THE KING WILL RULE WELL.
This shot (taken with the flash but at an angle) is of the coxcomb helmet I bought last year to replace an identical helmet I bought two years ago in January. The last coxcomb I posted on flickr wasn't really ideal because it didn't have a black plastic band around the rim so last year I got one which DID have a black plastic band and one which came with a West Mercia plate - no good to me.
While this new one ticked all the right boxes (well, nearly all, because the serge covering wasn't in one piece, like those on GMP and Merpol helmets) I still had to replace it because, soon after getting my hair cut last November (thick hair doesn't really suit helmets) the chinstrap snapped when I put the helmet on and, except for when I'm eating, I like wearing the helmet with the chinstrap down so I invested in a new one but that one was never worn due to the material being too tightly stretched on the comb part.
So, last month I decided to look for another one and I found one...but in a smaller size and, like the ill-fitting GMP helmet I got nearly three years ago, had a hard yellow liner. Had it been a 60, I might have been able to get holes put in it to take lugged plates, but I listened to the seller who sent me one in a 60, which maybe tight but not THAT tight.
This time, instead of waiting an age for my mum to drill the necessary holes (because the ones already put in were no good) I did the job myself using an awl from a precision screwdriver set but, instead of using the Merseyside plate to mark the places for the holes, I used my Liverpool & Bootle one which has shorter-spaced lugs.
Well, as you can see, it's not masquerading as a Liverpool & Bootle helmet but as a Greater Manchester one from the early 1980s and is a better shot of one I took three years ago of the first police helmet I bought - an ill-fitting Greater Manchester one and one made by Christy of Stockport. Apart from buying the blasted helmet, my biggest regret was not listing it as a plain, plateless coxcomb but I should have kept the screw-on plate, but stupid me went and listed it as a Greater Manchester Police helmet.
Unlike most Greater Manchester helmets, the helmet plate is dead centre, instead of being about a centimetre to a centimetre and a half from the plastic band. However, there's fuck all I can do about that, unless of course I want to ruin the helmet completely by putting in a couple of extra holes, which WILL result in the new bottom ones (above those seen here) being enlarged, making my L&B and Merseyside Police plates loose-fitting.
Sometimes it's best to leave things as they are.
Following its successful exhibition at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in 2013, the Crosby Garrett Helmet next went on display alongside the iconic Ribchester Helmet at the British Museum in early 2014. Detail of the neckguard with punched rivet holes.
KISSIMMEE, FLA. – Four Soldiers from Mission Support Element, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), joined thousands of service members, veterans and their families who gathered at the Westgate Resort in Kissimmee for free food, live music and heartfelt fellowship during the second annual Military Appreciation Weekend Concert held May 5, 2018.
Westgate Resorts’ CEO David Siegel opened the property to more than 1,500 military families for a complimentary, three-night stay that culminated in a free concert that featured the Chris Weaver Band.
Alongside the complimentary concessions and children activities, the 143d ESC Soldiers set up and managed two static displays featuring one of the unit’s Humvees and Light Medium Tactical Vehicle. The vehicles attracted hundreds of children, dozens of young adults and even a few veterans who climbed aboard the driver’s seat, donned an Advanced Combat Helmet and put their hands on the steering wheel.
In addition to the dozens of pop, rock, country and R&B songs played by the Chris Weaver Band, the concert offered a military flair complete with the presentation of the colors by Veterans of Foreign Wars Command Post 4287, the singing of the national anthem by American Idol contestant Alyssa Raghu and a helicopter flyover conducted by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Among the long list of VIPs was Florida Gov. Rick Scott who shook hands and took pictures with the 143d ESC Soldiers.
The concert concluded with fireworks that illuminated the night sky, its colorful patterns bouncing off thousands of fluttering flags and smiling faces.

Two 15th century Italian barbute helmets. The upper one is from Venice, the lower is a corinthian type from Milan.
I have been photographing these wild flowers quite a bit lately and today was no exception. I had no idea what they were, but upon speaking to a passerby, she explained they were called 'Policemen's Helmets' by locals and were a very invasive species. That was obvious because they grew just everywhere we walked. The small flowers grow on very tall stems and come in white and various shades of pink. They are very pretty, look a bit like snap dragons at the front and the bees buzz in and out of them continuously; they just seem to love these flowers!
