... une fleur dans ces bulles de bokeh...
English
... a flower in bokeh bubbles...
She was there, a little shy with all the people. At first she showed us her back... Then her ass... And finally she showed us her beautiful gown...

... une autre de la série les feuilles qui dansent...

... another of the set dancing leaves...
Numerically the last of GMT's MCW-bodied Metrobuses, before the arrival of the NCME specimens a year or so later.
Manchester, Piccadilly, 04/05/1998.
Green Line evolution at Swanley Garage on 2 February 1980. RMC 1469 has progressed from Green Line to country bus work and has come to the end of its passenger carrying days in green livery. RS 150 is about to enter service as numerically the last of the `proper` coaches bought to uplift the image of Green Line travel from the later 1970`s.
Numerically the first Wright Gemini delivered to Travel West Midlands, BJ03EWF is seen here outside Aston fire station.
4475 and 4476 carried this branding in the mid-deck for route 33 and the later deliveries had the more common roundel above the entrance door/drivers window and lettering on the lower panels.
Numerically the last of the Scania N230UDs at NCT, 662 had spent a while off the roads after an RTC but I'm pleased to report that she's been back in traffic without a hitch!
The 65 plate Enviro 400s have always been unique in that they have white LED destination displays, though other E400s have had various retrofits in recent years.
She is spotted here on Cator Lane, Chilwell operating a 36. She randomly appeared, so I'm assuming she was subbing in for a failed biogas bus.
Numerically the penultimate Glasgow Atlantean seen on the special Atlantean Runing Day service on 6th June 1998. Beautiful June weather really added to the atmosphere. This bus gained larged GG fleetnames and a coat of paint on the wheels too.
DEL2162 (LK16DDY) is seen at Uxbridge, Civic Centre.
TE728 (LK07AZD) is seen at Uxbridge, Civic Centre.
Both are seen on either the U3/4.
This is something we don't do enough! Most food crops grow as annual plantings. That's a really high energy activity: plough, sow, harvest, repeat — in the simplified form.
Numerically fewer sources are perennial: olives, chocolate, the tree nuts, berries and tree-borne fruits. Highly calorific, high yielding and long lived things like jackfruit and these chestnuts are less common again. Yes, Canada, and the sugar maple — we haven't forgotten you, eh!
I've never mastered the art of peeling chestnuts. Others must have the same problem because "easy to peel" varieties have popped up. There's hope.
I have read, and this makes chronological sense, that polenta existed before corn was acquired from the Americas. Chestnuts were a major carbohydrate source and store: the source of "flour" for polenta!
It is sadly true that a blight took most of America's chestnuts. It's equally sad that healthy chestnuts trees are felled and burned for charcoal. This is a tree which lives for centuries, grows to immense sizes and is a servant to those who collect the nuts, live under its canopy, breathe it's oxygen and so on. Has it for everyone, like me, become too hard to cherish a chestnut?
I've seen giants in the UK, enormous, productive chestnuts. Clearly they are well-adapted. The same is true for hazels — everywhere in hedgerows, battling to be ignored by those passing by who aren't eating the nettles, brambles, rosehips, damsons and crabapples.
People want food. Chestnuts are food. Something is wrong when consumer demand for such a fabulous crop falls away and the pull switches away to lazy options. Is this why we struggle to feed ourselves without chemical fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides, migrant workers and slave wages? Is that why we are discussing if it's better to install solar PV on arable land to address a climate crisis, rather than farming it, and ignoring that growing certain foods helps to ameliorate the problem?
These are prickly questions, asked eloquently here on the bank surrounding the bailey of Plympton Castle.

... je ne sais pas pourquoi j'aime photographier les fleurs... peut être parce que c'est un beau témoignage de l'esprit créatif de la nature...

... I don't know why I love to picture flowers... maybe because it's a testimony of nature's artistic gift...
Ben Harper - Amen Omen
What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned into a scream.
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen.
I don't know where you came from
And I dont know where you've gone.
Old friends become old strangers
Between darkness and the dawn
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find a place within
To live my life without you?
I still hear you saying
"All of life is chance,
And is sweetest,is sweetest when at a glance"
But I live,
I live a hundred lifetimes in a day.
But I die a little
In every breath that I take.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find a place within
To live my life without you?
I listened to a whisper,
Slowly drift away.
Silence is the loudest,
Parding word you never say.
I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find a place within
To live my life without you?
Amen omen,can i find the strength within
(I'll not comment my own shot for a little while... Sorry for that)
Numerically the first of a batch of (possibly) 8 E400MMCs for Cardiff's still municipally owned bus operation. These are longer than the First or Stagecoach variants.
Numerically the the last Trident delivered new to Blackpool Transport 332 was involved in a heavy rear end collision a few months back. After repairs it has been repainted in a heritage livery to mark the 30th anniversary of Blackpool Transport becoming a stand alone company from the Council, who still own it. looking superb 332 is seen out on test prior to being released for service again.
Archi is a star. She doesn't like picture... I'm trying to do my paparazzi job, but it's not easy...
Rattling along at near 90mph by this point numerically paired 4-CEP units 1612 + 1611 run downhill east of Marden at Godden Cottages Foot Crossing on the 26 mile dead straight between Tonbridge and Ashford across the Weald of Kent. The 8-car formation is forming train 1V16 09.15 London Victoria to Folkestone Harbour which will connect with the 11.15 Folkestone to Boulogne ferry sailing. This was the last year of full boat train operation to the Channel ports as Eurostar started a limited passenger service through the Channel Tunnel from November of 1994 and in a short space of time this killed off the Rail-Ship-Rail market to mainland Europe.
The last numerically in the fleet of WrightBus StreetDecks ordered brand new for the Ipswich Reds division of First Eastern Counties. 35926 is seen at Landguard Fort waiting to return to Ipswich on a 77 service, seen with the Evergreen shipping container peering into the background.
I take a shot under her gown. Because I'm not like this other... Because I want to be original... I want to try new experiment.
Have a nice week every one!
Numerically the last, RCL2260 has been preserved since 2000 when she was repainted back into the Green Line livery, she is still active and has been used when the London Underground have been on strike and heritage running days.
In the NBC green she is departing on the long trunk rte "405 W.Croydon - Crawley".
In numerical order, 50007, 044 and 049 head for Preston on 0Z34 from Kidderminster 05/09/21. This is to go on the front of the GB21 tour
The final numerically of the 70 strong VT Class, VT70 is seen here a super side ad for Aer Lingus and their reasonably priced trips across the Atlantic to the USA
