Given Jag has had almost two decades to perfect the new model, it's disappointing the F-Pace is not a benchmark. Having said that, it's still a beautifully designed and engineered SUV that has the soul of its sports car stablemates, combined with space and practicality few of its rivals can match.

A triple-expansion marine engine from the steam tug ‘Chipchase’
The tug was built in 1953 by Clelands (Successors) Ltd, Wallsend-on-Tyne, with engines by Plenty of Newbury. She was built for the Blyth Harbour Commissioners, and later passed to the Seaham Harbour Dock Co, County Durham. The vessel was acquired in 1984 for a project to establish a maritime museum at Maryport, West Cumberland, and taken over by the Town Council in 1986. The vessel was scrapped, but the engines were salvaged, and one set was purchased by the SMM for display in Clydebuilt at Braehead
Though of English make, this object is representative of the triple-expansion type of marine engine, developed to practicality on the Clyde in the 1870s and 80s.
This is important to the collection of marine engines in the SMM as an example of one of the most important types of engine. It also forms a group with part of the boiler front, a boiler feed pump, and a generating set, all from the same vessel, and all at kept together.
Formerly part of the exhibition at Braehead, now moved to Irvine.

Coupe/Hatchback
I'm surprised by how much I like the C-Pillar on the 944; you don't see them on the streets much today, but the funky shape gives it a notchback silhouette with the bubble-glass practicality of a hatch (to say nothing of good over-the-shoulder visibility). Sure, it's full of contemporary sins (check out the un-flush glass and typical 80s roof gutters and panel gaps) but on the whole the car looks surprisingly modern and muscular compared to the similarly-shaped FC RX-7, for instance. For me it's all in the extra metal carved out of the C-Pillar.
Motor homes have become increasingly popular over the last 100 years and more, with many families across the globe making it their vehicle of choice for long and short breaks.

In this infographic we explore the path the modern motor home has taken over the past century.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only photo that exists of the second 127, registration GSJ838N. This was a 'Special' by virtue of its third door, offering added practicality to a family of two-and-a-bit!
This was my Dad's first experience of second-hand buying - not sure he ever really forgave me for breaking his run ;o) It is also the first car of which I have clear memories - one of which was being allowed on one occasion (in a private and controlled environment) to sit on Dad's knee and steer it while he worked the pedals! Oh, was I chuffed - I'm sure I must've worn something akin to this expression on my face!
That was me bitten by the bug - I liked cars!!!!

Experience the rugged elegance and practical craftsmanship of this
Vintage German Horsehide Leather Jacket, an extraordinary piece of
early 20th-century history.
This jacket was crafted to endure the demands of dispatch riders,
military personnel, and outdoor workers, embodying durability,
functionality, and timeless style. Manufactured in Germany between the
1920s and 1940s, it is a testament to an era where practicality met
innovation, with each detail reflecting the cultural and historical
landscape of its time.
During this period, Germany was at the forefront of leather
craftsmanship, with horsehide being highly prized for its exceptional
toughness and longevity. Jackets like this were essential gear for
dispatch riders, whose roles were critical during both world wars, as
they navigated treacherous terrains to deliver vital messages. The
vegetable-tanned horsehide leather used in its construction not only
ensured durability but also reflected the sustainable tanning
practices of the era, a hallmark of traditional European leatherwork.
The coarse wool lining adds to its historical significance, as such
materials were chosen to withstand the cold, particularly in outdoor
and wartime environments. This jacket represents more than just a
garment; it tells the story of resilience and resourcefulness,
capturing the spirit of a time when clothing was designed to endure
the harshest conditions while remaining practical and stylish.
Owning this jacket is like owning a piece of history—one that connects
you to the lives of those who relied on its sturdy construction and
timeless design. Whether you're a collector, a vintage enthusiast, or
simply someone who appreciates masterful craftsmanship, this jacket is
a rare and meaningful addition to your collection.
Restored with Care and Expertise:
This jacket has been professionally restored to preserve its legacy.
The vegetable-tanned horsehide leather has been carefully cleaned,
conditioned, and treated to enhance its durability and maintain its
supple texture. The coarse wool lining has been inspected and
preserved, and hand-stitched repairs have been left intact to honour
its storied past. Every detail has been thoughtfully maintained,
ensuring it remains both a historical artifact and a wearable piece of
craftsmanship.
Garment Measurements (Laid Flat):
Chest (Armpit to Armpit): 24 inches
Underarm to Cuff: 16 inches
Shoulder Seam to Cuff: 24 inches
Across Shoulders (Seam to Seam): 19 inches
Back Length (Bottom of Collar to Hem): 27 inches
Features & Details:
Vegetable-Tanned Horsehide Leather: Known for its durability, supple
texture, and natural patina that enhances with age.

cold-weather use.
Double-Breasted Button Closure: Classic design for added protection
and timeless appeal.

patina, heavy distressing, and hand-stitched repairs that highlight

I like the aesthetics of this station but it's lacking in practicality. There's hardly anywhere to sit, and there's no restrooms.
Personal Photograph. Photographer: Hiram Plunkett.
This is a picture of my great-uncle James Luker, my dad, Charlie and his siblings Nancy and David. This was taken before church on Easter Sunday in 195---. The outfits for Easter Sunday were always nicer than their everyday play outfits. These outfits for young boys consisted of a nice blazer or sports jacket and slacks. For young girls, Easter outfits consisted of a nice skirt and jacket or a new dress. An older boy would wear a replica of his father’s tailored suit, or he might wear a mix and match outfit of slacks and a sports jacket.
On a less elegant scale, children’s everyday outfits were often overalls, sun suits or jumpers. Children’s clothing in the 1950’s were primarily made for practicality and durability. For play a young boy would wear coveralls or overalls made of denim or corduroy and a young girl would wear clothes that resembled her mothers. For school and play, boys wore slacks with sports shirts or cotton knit shirts. Brightly striped polo shirts were a favorite for warm weather. For cold weather plaid flannel shirts were very popular among children. Blue jeans were worm both in work or play for children.

One of the most important factors of the success of Stockholm’s bicycle network is that it is conceived and perceived as a system. This means that one can find different categories of bicycle lanes, starting from those that cross the city and connect it to nearby towns, to the neighborhood lanes which take you to the local store, school or the nearby metro station.

Sister Joan Godfrey takes delivery of the first Lloyd Hartnett in Brisbane, 1958. I wonder how safe it is to drive with that huge headgear on. Looks like practicality has won out in the last half century.
Sir Laurence Hartnett, father of the Holden car, imported components to build Lloyd cars in 1958 in a plant at Kangaroo Point, Queensland. I found a few pictures related to this brief operation.
Resting tightly packed into the new London Transport Museum is former London Transport Trolleybus #1253 EXV 253 a Leyland K1 Type. This interior photo of the downstairs taken from the platform clearly indicates the simplicity, neatness and practicality of the design. In my view these were the very best vehicles ahead of their time environmentally but i guess in the 1960's when they were withdrawn from use nobody even knew the word environment existed.
Thankfully the interior is not over restored and remains very much as in withdrawn condition.
Enjoy!

Santos-Dumont finally achieved his dream of flying an airplane on 23 October 1906, when, piloting the 14-bis before a large crowd of witnesses, he flew a distance of 60 metres (200 ft) at a height of two to three metres (10 ft).
Wikipedia has the following to say on the first to fly controversy:
There is still controversy over whether the Wright 1903 Flyer I, or the 14-Bis was the first true airplane.
Flight of Santos Dumont, Le Petit Journal, 25 November 1906
The Wrights used a launch catapult for their 1904 and 1905 machines, but the aircraft of Santos-Dumont and other Europeans had wheeled undercarriages. The Wright Brothers continued to use skids, which necessitated the use of a dolly running on a track and the use of catapult in the absence of a headwind.
The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, founded in France at the beginning of the century to verify aviation records, stated among its rules that an aircraft should be able to take off under its own power in order to qualify for a record. Supporters of Santos-Dumont's claim believe that this means the 14-bis was, technically, the first successful fixed-wing aircraft.
14-bis on an old postcard
Opinions vary on whether the Wright Flyer or the 14-bis was the more practical (and thus the "first") heavier-than-air flying machine. Both designs produced aircraft that made free, manned, powered flights. Which one was "first" or "more practical" is a matter of how those words are defined. No one could contest that the Wrights flew first or that Santos-Dumont took off on wheels before the Wrights and earned a variety of prizes and official records in France. Patriotic pride heavily influences opinions of the relative importance and practicality of each aircraft, thus causing debate. Americans prefer definitions that make the Wrights the "first" to fly, while Brazilians believe that Santos-Dumont had the first "real", practical aircraft, and that his nationality may have caused his accomplishments to not receive worldwide recognition.
Many other inventors could also claim to have produced the first flying machine. A long series of "flying machines" achieved some of the criteria that are required of an "aircraft." These achievements, most of them first accomplished in the 1800s, include being able to sustain flight using lighter-than-air craft, powered machines which could generate enough lift to rise off the ground, but which were not controllable, and unpowered winged vehicles that flew briefly and that could be controlled. For example, Frederick Marriott's Avitor was a slightly-heavier-than-air dirigible that was fully controllable. It relied primarily on a large hydrogen gas bag for flight, but it had wings and could only get off the ground by moving forward so that the wings generated the additional lift needed to overcome its weight. Could such a hybrid be "the first heavier-than-air flying machine"? It is only one of many examples of a long history of flying contraptions, so this debate could easily be extended well beyond being about simply the 14-Bis versus the Wright Flyer

Dr. Simeone explained that from 1915 to 1920 the concept of a sports car was submerged by the rigors of a great world war. Coming out of this tragedy a few car companies early on made a true sports car where speed and sport supervene over practicality. A British, an Italian, and an American example of this early reversion to performance were demonstrated. Featured were the 1921 Vauxhall 30/98E Velox Tourer, 1924 Lancia Lambda Third Series Tourer, and the 1922 Paige 6-66 Daytona Speedster.

WHAT IS THE GULET?
The singular design of Turkey’s indigenous sea-going vessel, the gullet, blend practicality and tradition in a relaxed style that embodies the Blue Voyage.
Over the years gulets have evolved from traditional fishing and cargo vessels into their present profile of a broad beam and wide deck.
Constructed mainly in the shipyards of Bodrum, Marmaris, Bozburun and Istanbul, and along the Black Sea Coast, the boats are equipped with motors as well as fully functional rigging.
The number of passengers a gulet carries depends on the boat’s size, although most of them accommodate between eight and twelve people. These vessels offer passengers separate accommodations, and chartering one includes services and entertainment.
Modern gulets are comfortably equipped with of the amenities of home and encourage an environment in which you are expected to do nothing but enjoy yourself.
The closeness of the entourage on board promotes an atmosphere of friendship and sharing; relations between passengers and crew tend to be relaxed and casual. Travel agencies which have responsibility can arrange charters and fixed tours for a specific group or for you individually. Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays and coves of the coastline.
The small harbors and settlements offer an intimate view of coastal life which large ships simply can not. In many ways a gulet is like a full-service hotel where every room has a sea view and the scenery changes constantly.
From Cultural Properties of Seoul:
Once the main building of Boseong School, the building was completed in September of 1934 after a year's building work on a site purchased by Kim Seong-su in the previous year. A three-storied steel-concrete structure with a garret, the building was constructed by a Japanese builder Hujita Kogiro according to the design by Park Dong-jin.
Park carried out an extensive research on university buildings in the West before making his design for this building. He particularly focused on the harmony between the building and the surrounding natural environment, effective use of construction materials and practicality in the use of floors. It is said that Kim Seong-su actively participated in the design of the building.
Standing against a leafy wood, the building is in a symmetrical H-shaped form. The rooms facing the south are mainly offices and meeting rooms while the rooms in the garret are used as study rooms for professors. The building shows various Gothic elements such as Tudor arches (1st fl.), twin arch windows (3rd and 5th fl.), rectangular windows (2nd and 4th fl.), flat buttress, dormers and top decorations. The building is often regarded as a symbol of private institution for advanced learning established by Korean nationalists during the Japanese colonial rule of Korea.

Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.
The exhibition. “Beautiful Faces of Balata” currently on show at the Church of the Ascension at the “Kaiserin Auguste Victoria Foundation” on the Mount of Olive's can be visited on a virtual tour on my website. Virtual tour of the Exhibition »

The buildings of the Moe Reformed Church, which was an important part of our lives between 1972 and 1977.
The redundant WW2 Nissen hut on the right was the first building brought to Luke Street and the congregation's first place of worship. The largest church building was also a recycled one, brought from an East Victorian country town in the mid 1960s. The small timber building on the far right was also "bought and brought" here. The toilet block behind it and the manse (from whose flat roof I took the picture) were built on the property. The grounds were always neat and tidy.
The paper bales to the right hold part of the secret of a few hard working people who helped this church survive for many years past its prime.

Well, it's been a while!
There's been far too much going on, not bad - just busy, but flickr has had to take a back seat, which isn't a bad thing every now and then. Anyway, I'm in Barcelona at the moment (again), so I offer a set of images from La Catedral, a vast soaring edifice in the old (medieval) city. The astute amongst you will notice that these are digital. No I haven't moved away from film, I'm still shooting it, plenty of it in fact, but the film shots are likely to be some time away because of the practicalities involved. So you'll just have to make do with nice conventional digi shots for now. (Although I am working on less conventional digi shots too! ;)
I know I owe loads of flickr/emails. I'm working on it.
Finally sorted out the car situation! I must have spent hundreds of hours looking for a new one weighing up the pro's and cons of each model, you know the usual economy vs performance vs practicality vs running costs etc.
I finally settled with this after looking at hundreds of different cars as it's a compromise for everything, a BMW 123d, 0-60 7 secs, 204bhp and still does 50mpg!

Saab 99 Platform
Notchback Coupe
The iconic Saabs are the 3-door hatches, of course, combining typical practicality with the intimacy of a coupe, but not forgetting to fit enough room to take a second couple along in back. Yet the proper coupe here shows unexpected room in back, caused by the refusal to overly streamline the rear end in the quest for added style. Here the C-Pillar knows its place in life: enough headroom for comfort in the back, but there's unexpected organic style, too. The sweep of the leading edge makes harmony with the trailing edge profile, bringing to mind something shaped by long years of ocean evolution or, in a nod to SAAB history, airplanes.
At first called "devil's rope" by cowboys, barbed wire was patented in 1873 but found little favor with Texas cattlemen until the late 1870s. When its use and practicality were shown in a sensational demonstration here in San Antonio. Its showman-sponsor was John Warne Gates (1855-1911), who came here as agent for a pioneer wire manufacturer.
With permission from city officials, he built a barbed wire corral on the Military Plaza, then went into various resorts of cattlemen and boasted of its strength and economy. Some of the ranchers made bets that the wire would not hold wild cattle. While the scoffers looked on, some long-horns were turned into the corral and prodded to frenzy by burning torches. They charged the fence furiously, but the wire held. the experiment was such a success that for a long time orders exceeded the supply of barbed wire. In later life known as "Bet-A-Million" Gates, the agent founded or organized several wire and steel plants, about 1901 he also invested in Spindletop oil field and helped develop the city of Port Arthur, Texas.
With its sister utility the windmill, barbed wire led to upgrading of beef cattle and enhancement of nutrition and the quality of human life. (1971) (Marker No. 300)
