Despertar os sentidos
A concepção do jardim assenta na especificidade da maioria dos seus criadores e na dos destinatários: é um jardim feito por crianças a pensar nas crianças.
A melhor forma encontrada para abordar o tema dos sentidos de um prisma essencialmente infantil baseou-se num desenho da Laura, na altura com 4 anos. Considerando que o rosto humano encerra em si a quase totalidade das janelas para os sentidos, e que é no rosto que temos os órgãos receptores de uma série de estímulos, foi também opção dos autores conceber a exploração do espaço de jardim num duplo propósito: o esteticamente aprazível tem de conviver com o ludicamente atractivo.
É sugerido ao visitante um percurso que também encerra uma dupla valência. Ao mesmo tempo que se exploram os espaços do jardim, é dada a primazia ao sentido que o rosto recebe mas não protagoniza. Com efeito, ao propor aos visitantes que se descalcem, os criadores remetem ao longo de todo o jardim para o tacto. É a pé e com os pés que se deve usufruir do espaço, experimentando as várias texturas.
Quanto aos outros sentidos, as propostas são variadas: a simulação de um lago no lugar da boca como ilustração da metáfora “água na boca”; os instrumentos musicais como a vocalarpa ou o tubobidonofone (este no local de uma das orelhas “forrado” por canas que emitem sons com o soprar do vento); a instalação da audeólica, os últimos para ilustrarem a audição. Na visão, os canteiros em forma de olhos e o apelo às mais variadas sugestões cromáticas nas variações de piso, nas cores da vegetação com tanto de mimético como de metafórico, ou através de vários artifícios, como as garrafas e as mangueiras pintadas no local dos cabelos, são alguns dos pontos a destacar. No que respeita ao olfacto, inevitavelmente centrado no nariz, são os odores florais e de plantas aromáticas que detêm a primazia.
Para além da ilustração dos sentidos, a sugestão do percurso não se pretende meramente contemplativa. Foram criadas áreas de lazer para o público infantil, onde para além dos instrumentos musicais, o visitante poderá encontrar um espaço de leitura, a VocaBolaRis, e outro para brincar. Este último inclui, na orelha esquerda do rosto, a espiralbola, ilustrativa da vertigem do tímpano. Ao lado, todos poderão jogar à macaca, numa área concebida e pensada para o efeito.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
Although it was rumoured by the automotive press since the announcement of the production R8 in 2006, it was only in August 2008 that spy shots of a convertible R8 'Spider' from filming scenes of the movie Iron Man 2 were published online, which included a "soft-top" roof is clearly visible, and the unique sideblade has been removed.[22] The vehicle was unveiled in 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Compared with the coupé model, the convertible has extra chassis support, a pair of roll-over safety bars, as well as minor changes such as the location of the fuel tank filler. It is powered by a 5.2 FSI V10 engine.
On July 1, 2010 Autocar reported that Audi has added the 4.2 FSI V8 engine to the R8 Spyder range. The 434 PS (319 kW; 428 bhp) (up 14 bhp on coupé), 430 newton metres (317 ft·lbf) unit now completes the R8 Spyder range alongside the launch V10 powerplant. It has a 0-62 mph (0–100 km/h) time of 4.8sec and will go on to reach a top speed of 185 mph (299 km/h). The engine is available with Audi's R tronic sequential manual gearbox. Like the V10 model, the V8 Spyder features an aluminium spaceframe with carbon composites and an automatic retractable folding cloth roof. The Spyder is making its North American Debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Day 107/365
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

When I was at my parant's yesterday, my aunt showed up with a bunch of old things to get rid of. That sheep and leather jacket was in there... What else could I do but take it and use it for my 365?!!
Spy Break by Propellerheads from the Matrix Soundtrack
The Waldensia Coal and Coke Company under took in 1901 an effort to build a large complex to support their coal mining and coke making business. Among the supporting facilities were 80 cottages, a commissary, a hotel, offices, a school*, a post office, a train depot, many coke ovens, a large coal washing facility, and a railroad! It was all completed in 1904.
A sawmill was also constructed to prepare the wood for their building needs, and most of the required logging was done on their own property.
The lake was created by the building of a dam on Mammy’s Creek, where it still stands today. Since the lake and dam are on private property today (2009), you have to view the lake, and falls that cascade over the dam wall, through a large growth of hemlocks. I was told by the owner that someone had recently fallen on the property and was currently suing him over a broken hip. Therefore, “private property” signs have been posted and a fence is being built around the beautiful lake.
I suppose this means that the cool waters of the lake and the shade of the hemlocks will never be freely available to the general public again. Such a shame…why do Americans have to sue so much?

We have had a very cold spring here in Korea. There has been no sign of any blossoms or flowers yet. I was thrilled yesterday when I found a cherry blossom tree in bloom, and several magnolia trees. They were located in a very sunny protected area. I had so much fun!

Gullfoss (la « chute d'or ») est une succession de deux chutes d’eau d’Islande situées sur la rivière Hvítá. Son nom provient de l'arc-en-ciel que l'on peut souvent voir au-dessus. (source Wikipedia) (pas sur cette photo, le soleil était... comment dire... un peu timide)
Mais le plus important c'est que l'endroit est absolument impressionnant et magnifique, par sa grandeur mais aussi par le paysage désolé qui l'entoure, les pierres et les mousses, la texture de cette eau tumultueuse...

Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. (source Wikipedia)
Its name comes from the fact there is very often a rainbow over it. (but when i was there the sun was a bit shy... as you can see)
But the most important thing is that this place is so wonderful ! Because of its greatness but also because of the desolate landscape all around, the rocks and mosses and the texture of this turbulent water...

Took this shot yesterday. Didn't spend too much time editing the shot besides running it through photomatix. I like the way it turned out. A little darker than I would like but it was pretty cloudy. I haven't been back to the Capitol in some time and it was nice to use my new equipment.

The Roman Port of Pozzuoli
Changes in the coastline of the Gulf of Naples —specifically the Bay of Pozzuoli— have come about over the centuries not so much through general changes of sea-level in the Mediterranean, but rather through the local rising and falling of the land from earthquakes and especially the minor (but cumulatively important) up-and-down jiggling shifts known as "bradisisms." The area is on top of —better, IS the top of— an active seismic cauldron that has to vent every once in a while.
Though there is considerable discussion over the extent to which the coastline has changed since the time of the Romans, it is a matter of simple (albeit underwater!) observation that there are submerged Roman buildings and port facilities in the bay off of Pozzuoli and adjacent (to the west) Baia. The movement, by the way, has not always been all in one direction; that is, since the 1980 earthquake and subsequent bradisisms, the land has actually risen, not subsided; the famous Temple of Serapis (photo, left)—which used to be submerged up to about the one-meter mark on the columns—is now totally on dry land, and the entire port had to be rebuilt in the 1980s to accommodate the drop in perceived sea-level at portside.
Si amigos, hoy me he quitado la máscara para mostraros la auténtica verdad sobre mí.
Yo ya sospechaba algo de pequeño, pero mi madre siempre entre bromas me decía: "A tí te recogimos de una familia gitana..."
¡Ja! Pero no eran gitanos, ¡eran VISITANTES DEL ESPACIO EXTERIOR!
Ahora entiendo por qué me despellejaba tanto y me decían:
- Eso es del sol...
- ¿Y la piel verde que tengo debajo?
- Eso es de los flash congelados esos que te tomas niño, que tienen mucha "fuchina".
- Mamá, la lengua vale... ¿pero la piel también?
- ¡Hombreee, pos clarooo..!
Y así fueron capeando la situación hasta que descubrí la cruda realidad de mis orígenes; el por qué de mi forma de ser antisocial, esos antojos de ratones al chilindrón con berberechos a las 4 a.m. y de mis ansias de acabar con toda la raza humana...
Pero tranquilos, esfínteres relajados... porque aunque para mí sería muy fácil destruir vuestra inferior forma de vida con mi blaster de bolsillo, durante estos años he aprendido a amar cosas tan mundanas como las alpargatas de jubilado en invierno, los paseos al atardecer en bicicleta, el Santa Teresa con Coca-Cola, el pan tostao con foie-gras y todos los grandes éxitos de Camela...

These were (some of) the toy soldiers and dinkey toy army vehicles I played with when I was a little boy in the fifties. The bulk of my collection I found as a "get well" present upon my return from the hospital in 1956/57 when I had my tonsils removed.
I loved playing with them, especially together with a brother or a friend. The most fun was in the preparation: first the taking turns whose army got what (you the big tank, then I the big canon, etc...). After that the preparation of the battlefield; which 'divisions' went were, where were the 'spies' located, the headquarters, how did the roads go, etc. Sometimes we used big pillows to simulate mountainous terrain or designated part of the floor to be the ocean...
When all was done and the battle could really start, the game was usually over pretty fast. Not much fun to see who won, I guess...
Nowadays quite a few of the cars and soldiers are lying hidden in a box in the attick. Not all unfortunately (for instance, the 'big tank' is missing), some got lost when I loaned them to the young sons of a friend of mine (even that is now a couple of decades ago...). Well, I never did that again!
When I first started getting into photography, around 1971/1972, I once re-enacted my childhood play and see here the result.
Kalkan (Greek: Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, which averages 300 days of sunshine a year. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches. The word Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'. Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kaş and Fethiye; it is famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly colored bougainvilleas. Until the early 1920s the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They had to leave the town in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. They emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki. With much of the surrounding land still undeveloped and with many nearby remains of ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the ideal resort[citation needed] for those who want calm and relaxation, enjoying the natural beauty of the cleanest seashores and of rough mountains covered with pine forests, and also for those who want to explore the remains of the ancient Lycian cities in the neighborhood. Lycia, "The Land of Light", which is the first known federation in history, included the many city-states between modern-day Fethiye and Antalya, and its capital was Xanthos (Arna in Lycian language), which is Kinik today, 17 km (11 mi) from Kalkan. Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region. Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation. British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe, and defined the town as a destination of choice.

Recently I have not photographed much. Don't know really why. I want to make pictures. I love it. But I don't know, the inspiration haven't been there. I look at pictures and say to myself "Woooow, that's awesome, I wanna do something like that!!" But than I realises that I don't have the right equipment or don't know a model that would look good in the picture or something..
Maybe I have too high expectations. I should just play around more.
Need to find some photo friends, and some girls that actually like to be in pictures. And just have fun.
But my camera has some serious auto-focus problems. hate it! Pentax K10D..
But today a guy called me and asked if I wanted to make pictures for a new book about the copper mine here in Falun. So I have something to do in the summer. And will be one step closer to a new camera. I am thinking about the Canon 7D. Actually I think i like Nikon more, but the 7D looks so good. And the video too!
I should make this 365 project that everyone else does. Not because I have too but because it would be fun. I DO enjoy photography. It's just picking up the camera that has been hard lately.
Anyways.

I made a mini-mini-diy-beauty dish of a candy box that I used for this picture, to the right of the camera. Another bare flash behind the model (me) to the left. Triggered with radio poppers.

Polystichum lemmonii the signature fern for serpentine soil in western North America.
Arthur Kruckeberg: "Of the western ferns on serpentine, only Polystichum lemmonii is obligate,"
Source Hardy Fern Library
Lemmon's holly-fern, Shasta fern
"A serpentine soil is derived from ultramafic rocks, in particular serpentinite, a rock formed by the hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth's mantle.
The soils derived from ultramafic bedrock give rise to unusual and sparse associations of edaphic (and often endemic) plants that are tolerant of extreme soil conditions, including:
low calcium:magnesium ratio lack of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus and high concentrations of the heavy metals (more common in ultramafic rocks)
These plants are commonly called serpentine endemics, if they grow only on these soils. (Serpentinite is composed of the mineral serpentine, but the two terms are often both used to mean the rock, not its mineral composition.)"

La obra de Arthania (en oleos sobre lienzo) supera las 13000 unidades(medida radiestésica), por lo que entra de lleno en el campo emocional, sus efectos curativos puede que sean debidos precisamente a esto, es decir, como armonizadores del sistema nervioso central, a través de él, afecta positivamente a los distintos sistemas orgánicos. La pintura de Arthania, en virtud de su emisión de forma, puede ser un factor armonizador de primera magnitud. Os invito a disfrutar de esta sorprendente muestra desde una actitud positiva, serena, abierta, desde el fluir, desde la receptividad, desde el silencio. Este es el camino más seguro para percibir los impulsos curativosy transformadores que se ocultan tras los sutiles velos de la obra de Arthania.

Explicación sobre la obra pictórica de ARTHANIA
La energía que rodea al ser humano está por todas partes, por ello es adecuado rodearse de obras bellas y armoniosas,
ya que, todo objeto, despide ondas: positivas, neutras o negativas.
Esta obra pictórica,comienza con seguros trazos circulares, ondulaciones que consiguen fascinantes formas y colores. Fractales de una policromía exquisita.
Más los dibujos, también de formas onduladas, "del sonido", inspirados en experiencias internas, vividas en otros espacios-tiempo.
En suproximidad, eleva la frecuencia vibratoria personal y del entorno. Mirando a corta distancia, ayuda adesarrollar la concentración en lo intangible.
Los tonos intensos vivos vitalizan, los suaves relajan, a veces según la obra persona o situación actúan a la vez.
Ensu proximidad limpian el campo de energía personal y del entorno, por ser transmutador de energías nocivas.
Produce efectos benéficos: en las personas animales y plantas, ya que, emanan energías positivas.
Aconsejable en decoración. Dan un toque de alegría y la vez de elegancia. Crean una atmósfera agradable... Optimizan el espacio.
Este arte expresa, estados internos, sentimientos de mi Alma, y ¡Ser! basados en experiencias elevadas, en otros mundos ínter-dimensionales...
Emiten ondas de formas positivas...

ENGLISH
In many countries, Kilometre Zero (also written km 0) or similar terms in other languages, is a particular location (often in the nation's capital city), from which distances are traditionally measured. A similar notion also exists for individual roads (that is, all locations on the road have a number, depending on their distance from that location), and for individual cities (often the city's central post office is used for this).
The most famous such marker of which any part survives from ancient times is the Milliarium Aureum ("Golden Milestone") of the Roman Empire, believed to be the literal origin for the maxim that "all roads lead to Rome."
Spain has its Kilometre Zero in the centre of the Puerta del Sol in Madrid (incidentally, the clock of the old Royal House of the Post Office, in front of which the plaque is located, marks the official time in Spain, according to the urban legend). The plaque that marks this point was turned around 180 degrees in 2002, because the map of Spain depicted on it was upside-down in relation to reality.

CASTELLANO
En muchos países, aunque no en la Angloesfera, Kilómetro Cero (también escrito km 0) o términos similares en otras lenguas, es una localización geográfica singular (a menudo en la capital de la nación), desde la que se miden las distancias. Una noción similar es la existente para las carreteras normales (es decir, todos los tramos de una carretera tienen un número, dependiendo de su distancia a un determinado lugar), y para ciudades singulares (a menudo la central de correos de la ciudad es usada para esto).
España tiene el "kilómetro cero" de las carreteras nacionales radiales en el centro de la Puerta del Sol en Madrid.
La película Km. 0 fue una comedia romántica grabada en Madrid que centraba las relaciones de sus personajes en ese "punto de encuentro".

A Horse With No Name By America
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.

This book chronicles how Austin overcame the tough austerity period immediately after WWII and went on to design a comprehensive range of cars, sports cars, limousines, taxicabs, off-roaders, military vehicles, vans and trucks that has never been equalled by one single manufacturer.
In the immediate post-war years its modern and innovative range of cars, trucks and vans were forced to take on world markets as a result of the British Government’s “Export or die” mandate to help pay off massive war debts. At its peak, Austin was required to export 75% of production, resulting in long waiting lists for new vehicles on the home market. As a result, many of its impressive range of modern vehicles were to find customers in the four corners of the world, helping to establish Austin as one of the world’s best known auto makers at the time. This book chronicles each model and focuses on how and where it was used and received, and is illustrated with rare archive material and stunning new colour photography which will be appreciated by enthusiasts and restorers alike.
