I didn't have a micro-bike, so I quickly made one, out of wire scraps.
One could argue that the bike isn't fully functional, but you can't deny the weight is down to a bare minimum...
(the size of the visible part is just shy of 7.5cm)
During a coastal walk around Howick and Craister, Northumberland, a few weeks ago, we came across this wheat field. I was attracted by the S curve of the tractor tracks, which is, somewhat, mimicked by the tree line.
As we were out for a hike, I was travelling light, camera wise, just the EOS R and the RF 50mm and 35mm f1.8 lenses, which, other than the fact that they aren’t weather sealed make up a very nice lightweight system.
I believe this is one of the six E-Type Lightweight's built by Jaguar Heritage following the exact process used back in 1963 when the original cars were built, following the same hand building techniques.
Around three quarters of the cars aluminium panels were made on site at Whitley, the remainder being outsourced to other specialised suppliers.
As the cars are built following the same methods as the originals, the continuation cars become eligible for many of the historic races now held throughout the year. While the price for one of these 6 cars is high (reportedly around the million pound mark), its substantially less than one of the original cars would cost to buy today.
As for this photo, its a slightly awkward panning angle, but I like how the sky became reflected in those magnificent curves, so thought it worth posting.

HMMM!
The Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus) is a small, critically endangered African scavenger known for its ability to blush pink/red when excited and its high adaptability to urban environments.
As a crucial, yet often overlooked, "sanitation worker," it relies on a keen sense of smell to find food, frequently scavenging scraps in cities, dumps, and coastal areas.
Despite their adaptability, the Hooded Vulture is currently listed as Critically Endangered. Populations have declined drastically (over 80% in some regions) due to poisoning, both accidental (from eating livestock treated with chemicals) and intentional (by poachers to prevent vultures from signalling their location to rangers).
There's also the Illegal Trade: Use of body parts in traditional medicine and rituals.
Also...modernisation, eg Upgraded, sanitary slaughterhouses in cities have inadvertently reduced their primary food sources.

First outing (I believe) for this Jaguar E-Type, one of six recently built by Jaguar Heritage using the original run of chassis numbers, and sold for approximately £1.2 million each.
Finished in a stunning shade of blue, the car looked fantastic in the paddock and on track. While some question the legitimacy of these cars being eligible to race, the way these continuation models were built, and with the price of the original cars now at £7 million, this may be the only option if you want to see these kind of cars race nowadays.
