Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

This has no date but it appears to be a sample of Lyons' earliest type-specimen booklet. Also, the color on the cover appears to be by his tintograph method.

The Irish (or Scottish) Wooden Flute differs from the Western Concert Flute in not only being made of wood rather than metal, but also in adopting a simpler key system.
Wooden Flutes are assigned the number 421.121.12 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-Free Aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
421 = Edge-Blown Flutes. A narrow stream of air is directed against an edge.
421.1 = Flutes without a Duct. The player makes a ribbon-shaped flow of air with his lips.
421.12 = Side-Blown Flutes. The player blows against the sharp rim of a hole in the side of the tube.
421.121 = Single Side-Blown Flutes.
421.121.1 = Open Side-Blown Flutes.
421.121.12 = With Fingerholes.
My Death Note came without shoes. I contacted another DN owner here and her doll was without shoes also.
Dominatrix garb with a weird doll.... I guess I find the combination strange not the doll itself.
I borrowed this sign, with permission, from a fellow-Flickrite.
Like him, I get pissed-off when I get 200+ views on a picture in a couple of hours, with nary a comment, or someone who faves a string of similar pictures (not flowers or landscapes) without commenting.

Part of an old piano dumped in the vicinity of the seawall, Georgetown, Guyana, South America. You can see what I think are the tuner's markings in blue ink.

I got a pack of 150 'Joyce' stickers as a gift from Andrea, my colleague, a couple of years ago and just started putting them on EVERYTHING.
I put this shot together for my wife's guitar she had custom made by Chris Williams. 85mm lens at f1.8 with a hand cut music note stencil placed over it to create shaped bokeh with Christmas lights background. Guitar was painted with a flashlight for 5 seconds during an intentional overexposed 25sec for added background color.

I discovered these mock bank notes in a random shop and loved them. They are quite detailed (with more pictures on the back) and there is one for every Tudor monarch, the six wives and Prince Arthur. I love how they say very blatantly – ‘this note is not legal tender’. As if someone needed to be alerted to that...
So I got bored during my Literatura y Pensamiento class when we were talking about a work we're not reading. I was a little annoyed because I ended up having to wait until NEXT week to do my presentation on Dante's Inferno, but I guess it's all good... This is my professor (or or less) I added some to the beard towards the bottom and wish I hadn't, and yes, that is a zit over his eyebrow.
Constructive Criticism Welcome
Note: This helmet is actually not an armet: an armet has got two hinged cheek-pieces that close in front around the chin and a pivoting visor at the sides, whereas a close-helmet's bevor pivots together with the visor at the sides of the helmet.

In a musical scale, maybe you could hear a note that will choke your head. Of course, the note isn't right. Isn't proportional, isn't symmetric, isn't harmonical. It's Blue! Blue note.
Some notes:
Lense: Standard 18-55- kit lense with 13 mm spacer ring. This spacer ring, from a set of three (13, 21,31, chinese product), is active and supports aperture control and autofocus (Amazon, approx. 100 Euro / set). In this application, this is not really necessary, because focussing is done best manually and aperture is fully opened most of the time.
