Bonhomme et débonnaire, replet, satisfait de son aventure incroyable, il arbore son sourire placide derrière lequel il y a une énergie considérable, tellement bien employée. Bien mieux que tous les kung-fu de la terre !!!
L'air de peu, le personnage emblématique porte une véritable saga industrielle qui a conquéri le monde entier.
Cela valait bien un joli portrait d'hommage et de très grand respect.
Révérence monsieur !
This most unusual Saguaro cactus was found in the Cave Creek Regional Park, north of Scottsdale, Phoenix Arizona on our hike today. It is known as the Michelin Man.

Designed by one of Michelin's employees, François Espinasse, the building has three large stained-glass windows based on Michelin advertisements of the time, all featuring the Michelin Man "Bibendum". Around the front of the original building at street level there is a number of decorative tiles showing famous racing cars of the time that used Michelin tyres. More tiles can be found inside the front of the building, which was originally a tyre-fitting bay for passing motorists. People walking into the reception area of the building are still greeted by a mosaic on the floor showing Bibendum holding aloft a glass of nuts, bolts and other hazards, proclaiming "Nunc Est Bibendum" (Latin for "Now is the time to drink"). The reception area also features more decorative tiles around its walls. Two glass cupolas, which look like piles of tyres, frame either side of the front of the building. The Michelin company's close association with road maps and tourism is represented by a number of etchings of the streets of Paris on some of the first-floor windows.
Michelin moved out of the building in 1985, when it was purchased by the late publisher Paul Hamlyn and the restaurateur/retailer Sir Terence Conran, who shared a love for the building. They embarked on a major redevelopment that included the restoration of some the original features. The new development also featured offices for Hamlyn's company Octopus Publishing, as well as Conran's Bibendum Restaurant & Oyster Bar, and a Conran Shop. All three businesses opened in August 1987.

Tyre care is a very important part of vehicle maintenance. Check condition, tread depth and pressures at frequent intervals. "Care" Flickr-Friday.
On my travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Walking around Windsor on a lovely Sunday morning.
I forgot to change the date on my camera so it is was still in NZ time.
Yes, roast tyres and sautéed hubcaps this evening…
I’m kidding, of course. This is the wonderful Ormer restaurant in Mayfair, London, where I enjoyed what was probably the greatest culinary experience of my life – a remarkable, unforgettable birthday treat from my partner Liang.
It is hard to define the architectural style of Michelin House. It was designed and built at the end of the Art-Nouveau period; parts of this style can be seen in the decorative metal work at the front of the building above the fitting bays, and the tangling plants round the tyre motifs at the front and side of the building, and also in the mosaic in the entrance hall. Despite this, Michelin House is very much like an Art-Deco building, the popular style of the 1930s with its prominent roadside position and its strong advertising images. In this respect, Michelin House is a building twenty years before its time and is also the first of the highly decorated buildings 'built on tyres', as Michelin House was built before Fort Dunlop (1916) and the Firestone Building (1928–1980).
Michelin House has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since April 1969

Once in a lifetime experience for me, a cheeseburger at a Michelin star restaurant. Solbar, Calistoga, CA. Soft bun, double beef patties medium, crispy grill marks, sharp cheddar cheese, fried pickles, etc. all on the burger. Paired with pilsner draft beer. A ten. Fujifilm X-A1 and XC16-50.

A fisheye photo of the unique toilet pods at 'Sketch' in Conduit Street, London.
I took my wife here for afternoon tea back in April as a belated Valentine's present. The food and ambience were superb as you'd expect for a restaurant with two Michelin stars but it was the toilets I really wanted to photograph.......
For those intrigued by the restaurant you can take a lok here : sketch.london/venue_Gallery_David_Shrigley.php?menu=1#gsc...
From Wikipedia : "Sketch is a restaurant on 9 Conduit Street, Mayfair, London, England, which opened in 2003. The restaurant is owned by Mourad Mazouz and the Head Chef is Pierre Gagnaire. The cuisine is described as 'New French', and is a loose adaptation of the cuisine served in Gagnaire's three Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris and is executed by Hervé Deville and Johannes Nuding.
Mazouz came to public attention through the success of Momo, the North African restaurant and bar he opened in 1997 just off Regent Street, although he was already well known in France for his celebrated restaurants, Au Bascou and 404.
The restaurant covers two floors of a converted 18th century site in Conduit Street, Mayfair. Its dining area contains a permanent exhibit of David Shrigley artwork, and Shrigley designed the restaurant's tableware."
