The Farnbacher Loles Porsche during Sunday morning warm-up at Mosport ALMS 2008. The car ended up with its back end up against the tire wall down from turn two.
No great damage, apparently, as this car ended up in second place in its class in the race itself.
Scanned from film.
I thought this would be funny, and original.

The optimistically-named Omega 3 in Southend High Street. It's just a bog-standard chippy, selling such delicacies as "mice beef", "suavely and chips" and "straw bury ice-cream".

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~Elwyn Brooks White, Essays of E.B. White, 1977
A beautiful grey lichen on Hazel.
Still working on the ID.
The West Highlands of Scotland are home to a characteristic type of coastal hazelwood, rarely found elsewhere. Whereas hazel is often a component of mixed woodlands dominated by bigger trees such as ash, on the west coast it can often form almost pure stands, in exposed coastal locations. Outstanding examples of this woodland type in the Sunart Oakwoods area can be found at Drimnin, in Morvern, and Ardslignish and Sonachan in west Ardnamurchan, with smaller areas elsewhere.
These coastal hazelwoods are rich with wild flowers in springtime before the leaves on the trees are out, but less obviously to the untrained eye, also play host to a unique and very diverse lichen flora.
The importance of these woods for lichens is a result of a number of factors: the mild 'oceanic' climate; the special characteristics of hazelbark that make it suitable for a wide range of lichens to grow on; the lack of atmospheric pollution in the area; and finally the particular structure and long-established nature of the woodlands.

The weather looked dull, but in the end turned out just right for a ride down to the Needles Battery and back on the top deck!
Today, there is considerable doubt that there will even BE a United States of America to celebrate a Tricentennial by 7/4/2075.
On the way from Mangatepopo Valley to Soda Springs, it was very cloudy but it hadn't started to rain yet. We were very optimistic.

dont know if any of you are interested in Sears/Kmart but I kinda am. the Sears closest to my house had this banner up when I went in to pick up some stuff I ordered. Kinda funny how it says "and counting" when the company is almost bankrupt but an optimistic view always makes it look better.
Hi..I'm an optimistic person. I'm simple with broad minded thoughts.. I'm an honest person.. And also like honest people to enter in my life.

The tower blocks at Cruddas Park, opened with an optimistic flourish by Hugh Gaitskell Labour leader, on the 9th June 1962, have had yet another makeover. This latest revamp is more radical than previous ones and the optimism returns.
Thomas Dan Smith was Newcastle City leader from 1960 to 1965 with a vision to improve the city and make it a commercial centre to rival the best in the world. He was compared to an American style 'city boss', called Mr. Newcastle by his supporters, and Mouth of the Tyne by his opponents.
Whilst many see him as a visionary, and ahead of his time, others brand him a charlatan, entangled in a web of corruption that almost toppled the Wilson Labour government.
His most controversial plan was for high rise housing, and the Cruddas Park scheme was part of what was called a 'city in the sky'.
The flats were built by Wimpey to a Swedish modular design. It was later to be alleged that Dan Smith took cash and other benefits for awarding the contracts.
Smith was sentenced to six years imprisonment for his involvement in the Poulson affair.

This was one of several large jigsaws I optimistically took to the BCD House Party in February 2020. I bought it in August 2019 for a reasonable sum, probably because it wasn't labelled as Parker Pastime, had no original box, no piece count or dimensions, and had replacements and a chewed piece. The division of the blank into rectangles is uncommon for Parker Pastime (but not without precedent) and the number and shape of the figurals indicated to me that it was American and likely Parker. I had a bit of discussion about it with an American BCD member who came to the event, in our private facebook group, so I was keen to complete this jigsaw first.
The 1500pc board was big enough - I'll add dimensions and piece count later. The figurals are really quite large - this surprised me, but the largest Parker I'd done previously was only about 400pc. The replacements have proved to be rather crude and I would eventually like to get better ones made. One replacement 'corner' (which ended up on the floor, which I picked up and put on the next table because it didn't look like our jigsaw at all then reclaimed and placed later) can be seen on the lower edge.

OPTIMISTIC HEALTHCARE HEROES
On Nov. 16, the Optimist Club of Bayfield presented the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $1,500 as part of the 12th Annual Health Care Heroes Radiothon run by CKNX radio.Presenting the cheque on behalf of the Optimists was President Joyce McIlwain. Accepting for the Foundation were Philip Keightley, AMGHF director (left), and Gary Lloyd-Rees. As Treasurer of the AMGH Foundation, Reese said,"The Foundation is extremely grateful to the Optimist Club of Bayfield for their generous donation. The funds will be going towards our current $400,000 campaign to replace the two anaesthetic machines used in the two operating rooms in the Goderich Hospital that are reaching the end of their useful lives. This year’s Radiothon has raised over $600,000 for 15 local hospital Foundations across Mid-Western Ontario to support their campaigns to purchase much needed capital equipment for the hospitals that they support. Donations like this one from the Bayfield Optimists help ensure that quality health care remains available close to home, helping to build healthy and vibrant communities."

I am an optimistic person, believing that everything will be fine if we make effort on what we pursue. This is a colorful world, complex, diversity and interesting. I always feel lucky to see and think of what we have.
After commuting between Shanghai, China and bay area for a while, I move in San Francisco city. To settle down, I started to explore the surrounding, people, animals and parks.
There are many friendly neighbors who are more than happy to help me. Mr. Norman is one of them. He introduced the facility of the community when he first met me and he noticed I was a new comer. Later on he introduced many other neighbors to me. That gave me a strong feeling of being accepted by anew place. I took the picture of his cute cat, who stared at us as if she were monitoring the ongoing discuss.
Ms. Name is another nice friend I made. She answered a lot of my questions, including where to exchanged foreign currency in good rate and where the nearest cinema is. The sweet boy holding a toy sword is her son.
Natural environment is wonderful too. Many beauties are just everywhere in the yard and in the park, thanks to the great weather of the area. The roses and the purple flowers are the representatives.
I love travel, so the black suitcase, like my shadow, is my good friend. We have traveled together for thousands miles. Although it is old and I buy new ones, I still like it.
I love the wonderful world.
