A scan from a battered old glass plate negative that I have had knocking around for years. This Albion of Rushton, Harrogate has come to grief in snow, probably up on the Pennines somewhere. Unless the starting handle is hiding something, the registration would appear to be AWU 47.
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth.

One from last Summer; the 4/5 were diverted from Southway between the School roundabout and the Aldershot Road shops for the day.
The diversion was over Park Barn Drive, Broadacres, Broad Street, and the Aldershot Road.
I spent a good few hours capturing movements, with the usual low success rate - traffic, clouds, etc conspiring to defeat me as ever!
But this one came out ok.
YJ67 FYX heads into Guildford on the Aldershot Road, about to re-join normal route at the Southway/Northway junction.
I was talking to a client about kiteboarding the day after this storm roared through the Oliphant area and he told me of an elderly neighbor that still goes out into the shallow waters with his kite - but with any wind more then 70 kph he gets lift off and the possibility of being carried away into the trees onshore. Looking at this guy in the midst of the storm, it's easy to imagine that happening.
Lome, Togo
In August I traveled to Togo in Africa to teach. To learn more about my trip and see more photos, check out my post Sharing a Beach Adventure in Lome, Togo on my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
When I was a kid in the early 1970s, Off! insect repellent was one of the smells of summer. The commercials featured a man sticking his arm into a clear box filled with mosquitoes and would get attacked by dozens of them. Then he'd pull it out and spray it with Off! then stick it back in, and the voiceover would say, "Bugs don't bite, they don't even light." It was available "in spray or foam." We almost always got the spray but my dad got the foam once. A product of Johnson Wax.
Yes, I'm off to practice lots of the above.
I hope I'll be able to show you lots of great shots in two weeks' time.
Bye all!
