Managed to get a reasonably sharp shot whilst he was passing me flat out on the back straight at Silverstone. I would get he was doing 160mph. I had borrowed a friends Nikon D5000 with a basic Tamron lens; the lens really did not want to stayed focussed. You would focus on a point, switch to manual and it would droop out of position.

This photo shows the meditation garden at the UMD Chapel. Although it is heavily managed, it is still a functional ecosystem. One of the species present in this ecosystem is English Ivy. This species is a non-native invasive; however, due to the management of the ecosystem, the ivy cannot spread, either outside of the brick border, or up the magnolia tree.
Humans have effectively eliminated all competition between macrobiota in this ecosystem through artificial selection and management. The ecosystem services provided by these species are largely aesthetic, but that is a major criteria for success of a species in a managed environment.
"Vanity and pride are different things, although the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

Suzanne McKenzie owns and manages her 30-acre property located in Molalla, Oregon. She bought the property in 2014 with hopes of restoring her oak savanna to support wildlife.
The Oregon white oak tree was historically prevalent across the Willamette Valley, including areas in the Molalla and Rock Creek Watersheds where McKenzie lives. Since 1850, only 10% of Willamette Valley oak woodland, savanna and prairie habitats remain. The majority of the Valley's remaining oak habitat is in private ownership.
Oregon white oak habitats support many native flowering species such as tall Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, mock orange and oceanspray. These native plants along with flourishing Oregon white oak populations help to support numerous wildlife species; over 200 wildlife species are closely associated with Oregon white oak habitats.
When she purchased the land, various tree species on the property stood densely together, choking out the native white oaks and inhibiting their growth. Invasive plants covered the ground and outcompeted native plants for resources. McKenzie reached out to her local conservationists to solve this challenge.
The Oregon White Oak Restoration and Preservation project, a partnership project between NRCS Oregon and the Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) was the perfect solution. The completed project was funded through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Kim Galland, NRCS Oregon District Conservationist in Clackamas County, and Nicole Ahr, Clackamas SWCD Conservation Specialist, worked with McKenzie to restore her property's habitat and encourage a flourishing oak savanna. Tree thinning allowed mature oaks to thrive and invasive vegetation control reduced unwanted weedy species. Dying Douglas firs were removed and replaced with new oaks and native plantings.
Today, the newly planted oaks are thriving in the restored oak savanna habitat. Native flowering plantings of Oregon grape, Western serviceberry, and Red-flowering current grow alongside the young oaks. The growing trees and plants will one day soon provide foraging and habitat resources for the many critters that frequent the property - it's not uncommon for McKenzie to see bobcat, deer, Western Skink snakes, lizards and woodpeckers, to name a few.
This was such a cool hidden find duo I’m surprised that these managed to stay here for so long without being washed away by the water
While I finally manage to persuade my good driver guide enough of selfies of me against the pebble beach at the Cabo de Rama fort, we walked across the fort grounds and climbed a steep set of stone steps to the other side of the fort's ramparts. On the other side are splendid sea views of a different kind- here we see less of pebbles and coconut palms and more of the open sea. Hindu legends beieve that the Cabo de Rama fort connects with the Hindu epic Ramayana. According to belief, during their 14 years of exile, the Hindu god Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana, resided here at some time during their exile. Later, the local Soonda rulers built the fort and used it as a command centre. The Cabo de Rama fort is this historically fairly noteworthy. The fort is spread across 180,000 sq.mtr. and is constructed with laterite rock. Whe the Portuguese arrived in Goa circa 1763, they won over the local kings and took over the fort. conquered it by winning over the local kings. They were fascinated by the large cape on which the fort stands and it's clear views of the Arabian Sea. More notes and pictures of the Cabo de Rama fort appear elsewhere in this album.

A quiet Sunday near La Louvière, southern Belgium. Plenty of time to do track maintenance. This train is pushed against the usual direction. I suppose a few hours later the dark track will look like the one on the right.
Managed to catch this wild polecat (Mustela putorius) in the back of our garden. I think he was following rabbit scent.

Newchurch is in the middle of a very narrow lane, which barely widens in the village, and so parking here is problematic. I managed to get a pace on the road, though I do think there is a small car park beside the church, but driving along the pavement didn't seem right to me.
All Saints sits on the edge of a cliff, and the road out of the village falls away beside it, making it a very dramatic location.
The tower, half clapboard and half soft sandy-coloured stone looks in poor repair. The clapboard, anyway. And entrance to the church is through the tower with the bellringing ropes hanging overhead.
Inside, it is a well kept church, some nice 19th century glass, a rose window in the west wall, but too high for me to get a good shot. The lectern is a fine golden Pelican in her Piety, one of the best I have seen, and hanging in the rood loft stairs, now leading nowhere, is a fine brass lamp.
As I left just before four, the church was locked, and my crawling for the day was done, so I repaired to the Pointer Inn next door for a fine pint of Hophead.
---------------------------------------------
The church celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1987 and is a fine example of a Norman Church with some remaining evidence of its pre-Norman origins.
It is one of only three English churches with an ancient sanctuary door still in place (Durham and Westminster are the other two). Over the South door there is the crest of William III (of Orange) dated 1700 with the face of the Lion Rampant being an image of King Willliam.
The Dillington Mortuary Chapel has a number tombs whose covering slabs have unusually well preserved and finely engraved crests and lettering
The following is extracted from the Quinquennial Report published in October 2011 by the Church Architect, Mr Ian G Smith.
Standing prominently at the north end of Newchurch village, All Saints Church is visible from many points in the central belt of the Island; being cruciform in plan, with a south porch and tower it dominates the Arreton Valley.
One of six Churches given by William FitzOsbern to Lyra Abbey in Normandy, it was given to the See of Bristol by Henry VIII; All Saints has throughout its life had many additions, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries; the Victorian restoration of 1883, by AR Barker, remodelled part of the interior.
The original Church is still quite easily identifiable in the Nave, North and South Aisles, the crossing and the north wall of the Chancel, with the later extensions of the South Transept and the Chancel evident in the treatment of the windows which are wider and of three light style.
Constructed of random stone under a steeply pitched and tiled roof, the modest exterior is off set by the surprisingly grand interior; with a soaring timber-clad Nave roof, and massive stone columns with octagonal piers; with double chamfered arches progressing to the crossing and the Chancel.
The square tower over the stone rendered South Porch, being of timber weather-boarding (around 1800) is unusual on the Island, housing the six bell peal, four of which were founded in 1810, the other two are of 16th and 17th century vintage.
Major benefactors of the Church were the Dillington family who have laid 8 vaults in the north transept and also in the south transept; and of historical interest within the Church are the oak pulpit of 1725, the oak door from the Porch, the Pelican Lectern (l7thC), the wall tablets, the stained glass east window by Kempe (1909), the Creed and Commandments boards in cusped Gothic frames on the west wall; and the panel over the south door with the royal arms of William III, and dated 1700.

The listing in the Twenty Ninth List of Buildings of Special Architectural and Historic Interest, dated 14 February 1992, of the Isle of Wight, gives a particularly detailed description of the history of the Church, the windows, and the historic features, relying on much of the information contained in the Buildings of England, David W. Lloyd and Nikolaus Pevsner, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight this has been updated now having a separate volume on the Isle of Wight of 2006.
High Street (East side) -Dillington Sundial in All Saints Churchyard — listed Grade II

Sundial, 1678 by Robert Marks of London, Baluster shaped stone base to sundial, about 1.000mm in height on plinth of three square stone steps. The sundial is missing, the sundial originally stood on the bowling green at Knighton Gorges, but following the demolition of the great house, Squire Bisset gave it to the parish in 1826, when it was erected in the Churchyard, historical interest as one of the early relics of Knighton Gorges.
I managed to find a 127 film for my 1930's Zeiss-Ikon Baby Box Tengor from an ebay dealer in Croatia. With some difficulty (Canon don't make 127 holders for their film scanners) I managed to scan the negs.
For an eighty year old camera with just one shutter speed (1/25s) and a fixed aperture (f11) I was quite pleased with the result!

London, August 10th, 2010
Xavier Rees is joining DDB UK in September to oversee the integrated Virgin Media account as Managing Partner, reporting directly to Nick Fox, Chief Client Officer DDB UK.
DDB UK secured the Virgin Media advertising, direct and digital account in May this year with their winning integrated agency offering.
Rees will be responsible for managing the Virgin Media business and producing a creative, compelling and integrated message across all channels. Virgin Media plays in one of the most competitive categories in the business, its very landscape changes by the quarter and Rees’s role will be to help navigate Virgin Media to an increasingly competitive and advantageous position.
“Seamless integration between disciplines is key with accounts like Virgin Media” Nick Fox, Chief Operating Officer DDB comments “and we were impressed with Rees’ experience running multidiscipline businesses. It was essential that we found an individual that could be both comfortable in the brand arena and read the data.”
He joins DDB UK from Targetbase Claydon Heeley where, as Deputy Managing Director, he ran integrated direct and digital accounts such as Three, Royal Mail, Post Office, COI and Universal Music.
Rees has over 14 years integrated agency experience including Business Director at RMG Connect on Vodafone and B&Q, Head of Client Service at Archibald Ingall Stretton and Account Director at BBH on the flagship integrated Audi account.
Xavier explains “DDB is the only agency in London right now that’s structured to deliver a real integrated solution for its clients, so this is a very alluring challenge. The exceptional quality of the agency’s creative product was also a factor – as was the chance to work with Guy (Bradbury) again. But the biggest attraction is the task of helping Virgin Media to fulfil its brand’s potential”.
Rees’ appointment comes on the heels of a successful first half of 2010 for DDB UK. After clinching the Virgin Media account DDB UK was the only agency to win a Grand Prix at Cannes Lion Advertising Festival 2010.

I took this a few weeks ago out at a reservoir near harogate. We have not had good weather here for ages and i just needed to see some blue sky again................... Oh yeah the tree thing............ God knows why they are cutting trees down..........? Can never be a good thing though :/
Once you've managed to collect the figures from the series. Abomination, Blackheart, Green Goblin, Lady Deathstrike, Loki and Pyro, you'll have all the pieces to make this dude.
I have to admit I'm rather taken by how his face appears to be squeezed into that recess.
His appearance is almost like that of a giant beetle/cockroach.
One thing I like about the Marvel Figures is the detailing, the work on his fingers and hands are really great, if I can get a picture later of this I will do.
