Like most other Triumphs of the period the Vitesse was designed by Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti which became available as a Saloon or Convertible and an Estate variant to special order. Originally introduce in May 1962 as an in-line 6-cylinder performance version of the Triumph Herald small saloon. powered by a 1596cc engine derived from the engine used in the Standard Vanguard Six
In September 1966 Triumph upgraded the engine to 1998 cc, in line with the new Triumph GT6 coupé, and relaunched the car as the Vitesse 2-Litre, with an output of 95bhp Other detail modifications for the 2-litre, included a stronger clutch, all synchromesh gearbox, larger front brakes and wider wheels with the option of radial tyres alas the increased performance highlighted the deficiencies in the cars rear suspension
The Vitesse Mark 2 was launched in October 1968 as the final update to the Vitesse range aimed at addressing the problem of the rear suspension the Mark 2 was fitted with a redesigned layout using new lower wishbones and Rotoflex half-shaft couplings along with the GT6 Mk.II. The engine was also tweaked further increasing output from 95bhp to 104bhp. The exterior featured a new grille with 3 sets of horizontal elements that were also used (in longer form) in the Herald 13/60, with the difference that the Herald maintained a single pair of headlights rather than adapting the twin headlight arrangement of the Vitesse, Rostyle wheel trims and silver painted steel rear panel, while the interior was also upgraded.

This is a concept I dreamed up about people that solve problems all day, people issues, technical issues. Spending your whole day solving problems! This is how I feel most days! hence the epitome of puzzles.. behold the Rubix breakfast! Solving problems from the moment you wake!
Problem with Flikr this evening, your photos posted today (18/03) are not displayed. I hope to be able to view them (and comment
on them) as soon as possible.
Problème avec Flikr ce soir , vos photos postées ce jour (18/03) ne s'affichent pas . J'espère pouvoir les visionner (et commenter) dès que possible .
A problem existed which delayed the 6M95 Long Marston - Rugby Depot Access line departure and bags of time to photograph Class 121 Pressed Steel Single DMU 'Pandora' which is seen residing in Long Marston Yard.
Formerly W55025 it became ADB 977859 (unit 960011 / nickname 'Pandora') in Sept 1993 when it was used on sandite and route-learning duties. In 2000 it was acquired by Balfour Beatty and used as a Video Survey unit until 2004 when it reverted back to being a route-learner. I understand that 'Pandora' moved to Long Marston in early 2016 and is earmarked for the Radstock - Frome Railway - but I can't confirm.
Well, this was fun. I’ve never done oil droplets before though I have admired the results of many who have, including lots today.
And I wasn’t going to. But I had ten minutes spare at lunchtime so I thought I would give it a try. I placed a little water in a light-coloured flowerpot saucer outside and dripped oil on top. It was really shallow so you can see the droplet shadows on the saucer from the bright sunlight.
The red oil on the left is multigrade car oil from the Boy’s Garage. Curiously when I first added the oil it didn’t form proper blobs at all, just a yellow mush. And then I sprayed it, as one does, with WD40 (a very light DIY oil in an aerosol can), and suddenly it formed blobs. How strange! My scientific curiosity is piqued, but I decided to leave further experiments ‘til later.
The yellow is rapeseed cooking oil pernickered from the Mistress of the Estate’s Kitchen.
And that was the problem.
Alas, Favourite Wife spotted the theft and I was caught (oily- and) red-handed. As a result (and the fact that the ‘ten minutes’ overran ever so slightly, cough…) I am in the doghouse, and my ranking has dropped immeasurably way beneath that of Favourite Husband.
She was distinctly not amused that I was so free to squander the last remaining cooking oil. It was not so much a fall from grace as a plummet over the precipice into the fathomless abyss. I doubt now that Favourite Husband will ever be an attainable goal, and I’d worked towards it for so long. Sigh…
I took about 120 shots, struggling to find a good composition (I was definitely on the steep learning curve experimenting mode here). This was a crop from one of the more interesting results. I rather like the little cascade of mini droplets or bubbles from the top right droplet.
There was a little magic in the processing and the image was also flipped vertically to tell a better story.
This is for Smile on Saturday’s Oil on Water theme today.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :) (Sympathy always welcome! ;) )
Before pavements started to become common on our streets and during the time of unpaved roads and horse-drawn traffic, a common problem encountered, particularly during Victorian times, was the mud, refuse and to put it bluntly, the animal and human crap that littered the roads.
What was a person to do to clean their boots before entering a house or office? Well, scape off as much as you could using one of these inbuilt boot scrapers at the entrance! Many of these still survive in older properties from that era and they do come in several forms of which this sort is the most common.

****A long story here if you have time; it's been on my mind especially in these troubled times
About ten years ago in one of my favorite Spanish classes, 12 and 13 year olds...we had a lot of fun while they were learning Spanish:).....In this class was a Muslim boy (very few minorities in our school at that time) who called himself Sam...he wanted to be like the others. Sam had a lot of medical problems from birth, was only three+ feet tall and came to class in a wheelchair, he had an aide accompanying him.
It was a delight to meet with him and his parents for conferences; wonderful people were his parents.
One day Sam and a classmate presented an unmemorized Spanish dialogue; I still remember how 6 foot Zach stooped over to read his part as Sam was holding the dialogue.
The other students treated him like anyone else...except they were unusually gentle with him.
Once a month we as a homeroom, Sam was in my noon homeroom also that year...would cross the street to a local Subway shop for lunch, a highlight for the group! Sam fretted because he did not want to wear the safety strap across the wheelchair...his aide and I had to firmly tell him it was the law. Sam pouted like a middle schooler might:)....but soon was enjoying his sandwich with his friends.
The next year, eighth grade, I didn't have Sam in class or homeroom....by this time he started going by his birth name, Hussein. I would look for him in the cafeteria or hall....noticed he wasn't doing well, an effort for him to speak...he didn't sit up straight in the wheelchair...
In the beginning of the following school year I asked Jackie, his aide, how he was doing and she said.....'He died in August', there was no notice in the newspaper, not unusual for practicing Muslims at that time and perhaps even now..... I had no idea.....I felt great sorrow and every August since then I remember Sam/Hussein.
....and so I will always remember....this unique boy who did his best and provided something special in his Spanish class and in my life too....and as well, his remarkable parents who showed much love for him....
August....x...a time also for a refreshed sense of looking for good amidst the bad today, in looking for positive solutions. My two cents worth....
This is the solution I came up with to solve the problem that Strobist readers run into when using umbrella softboxes like the softlighter. I got all the parts from Home Depot:.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

I have sorted the problem out. their was nothing wrong with blouse all along the problem lay with the skirt.
I think the blouse makes a cute mini dress what do you think?
Northern 'Pacer' 142011 waits time at Southport before departure with the then hourly service to Manchester Airport, November 28th 2014.
Not the easiest of stations for night photography back in the day with many Sodium / Tungsten light sources, much easier now with LED but intense pools of white light present their own problems.
And we debate between those possible solutions. And by the process of debate, we pick the best idea. That competition between good ideas from both sides about real problems in the real country should result in our country having better choices, better options, than if only one side is really working on the hard stuff. And if the Republican Party and the conservative movement and the conservative media is stuck in a vacuum-sealed door-locked spin cycle of telling each other what makes them feel good and denying the factual, lived truth of the world, then we are all deprived as a nation of the constructive debate about competing feasible ideas about real problems :-(

Thought I would pop in to say hi and wish everyone a belated Christmas greeting.
I have let my Pro account expire, so can not upload large files anymore, but am alright with that.
Have not been taking many pictures at all. Besides the macular degeneration in my right eye, which is being kept mostly under control, I am having problems with cataracts. I have been referred to an optical surgeon by my retinal specialist and have been told that the wait list for lens replacement surgery is about nine months.
Although I am still legal to drive, for now I have voluntarily given up driving as I am not totally confortable doing it, so I have been taking very few photos. To be honest it is a challenge to read the display in the camera, and even processing can be frustrating. Kind of like looking through a light fog. Fine detail is soft, colours are desaturated and contrast is lessened. In the month of December I have only taken 32 shots. Just not as much fun taking processing or viewing them.
Anyways, I am busy presently with working on flooring which is also quite frustrating with my vision, but something that I need to do. Perhaps I will be ready to rejoin Flickr in about a month, but will likely only be doing so on a part time basis.
Wishing you all the very best in the coming New Year!
I am not going to climb this Edison Tower (pylon) as I can hear the loud buzzing of the A/C power flowing through the cables being generated by Edison's Tehachapi project!
I will go there again this morning to attempt photographing Purple Finches.
Caught this little Skipper moments before it uncoiled that tongue to strike out and test which of the yellow flowerets of this Lantana flower were the tastiest.
Of course it turned it's back at that moment but it was fun to see that little tongue just barely visible. And yes the correct name for a butterfly tongue is proboscis but that's so hard to say.
Pittosporum Leaf.
The immediate problem with the Macro Mondays Speckled theme this week was that I had already eaten all the chocolate eggs (suitably speckled) at Christmas. That was probably wise seeing at the house was filled with chocolate gannets at the time, but it did leave me with problem as to what to do for the theme.
Things got worse. All the bean seeds in the garden shed turned out not to be speckled!
But there was an upside to this disappointing discovery - I was already outside during a brief lull in the rain, and so was encouraged to wander around looking for inspiration.
This is a leaf from the Pittosporum bush by the front gate. Pittosporums are lovely plants with small characterful leaves and fine dark branches. The leaves can be shiny, crinkly or variegated depending on the variety. This is a non-shiny, non-crinkly, variegated type.
The leaf is 3.5 centimetres long though the bush is bigger than I am - think six foot six (who are you kidding?? :) ). Interestingly as I tried to wrest a sample off I also discovered that the twiggy branches are tough and aromatic when damaged.
The reason this plant was interesting is that, when the leaves are damaged, the damaged parts turn purple. In winter when the leaves are growing slowly they are often covered in purple spots, as is this one.
This image was taken using my cheap and cheerful LED lightbox to capture the leaf veins. Ironically the transmitted light caused most of the spots to disappear (they must be largely on the surface and transparent). Ah well… it's still an interesting image.
The title comes from memories of teenage angst in winter when, just like this leaf's spots, the acne was always worst (not mine obviously ;) ).
Also for 7DWF group's Macro & Close-up themed Wednesday.
Thank you for taking time to look. I do hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Monday to all my friends and to everyone else too. :)
[LED lightbox; tripod; remote release; manual focus; VR off.
Lightroom: bumped contrast, vibrancy, clarity and saturation. In the colour channels saturated green, red and magenta.
In Affinity Photo clarity filter and High Pass layer with Linear Light blend mode for sharpening (better results than Unsharp Mask); slight dark vignette tailored for shape.
I tried lots of ideas and approaches but simple proved once again to be better. Still experimentation was fun and educational :) ]
are you here to make your confession, my son?
yes, father. it's my first time. I'm not sure if I can do it.
of course you can. what are your sins, my son?
you promise not to tell anyone?
you can rely on me. in fact, it's nothing personal at all. go ahead, ask me if I care.
you don't care?
whatever you did is definitely not my problem. no way. isn't that comforting?
somehow it's not exactly what I thought.
you see? I knew I could put your mind at ease.
yeah. something like that.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Purbeck
The Isle of Purbeck, not a true island but a peninsula, is in the county of Dorset, England. It is bordered by the English Channel to the south and east, where steep cliffs fall to the sea; and by the marshy lands of the River Frome and Poole Harbour to the north. Its western boundary is less well defined, with some medieval sources placing it at Flower's Barrow above Worbarrow Bay.[1] The most southerly point is St Alban's Head (archaically St. Aldhelm's Head). It is suffering erosion problems along the coast.
The whole of the Isle of Purbeck lies within the local government district of Purbeck, which is named after it. However the district extends significantly further north and west than the traditional boundary of the Isle of Purbeck along the River Frome.
In terms of natural landscape areas, the southern part of the Isle of Purbeck and the coastal strip as far as Ringstead Bay in the west, have been designated as National Character Area 136 - South Purbeck by Natural England. To the north are the Dorset Heaths and to the west, the Weymouth Lowlands.[
Geology
The geology of the Isle is complex. It has a discordant coastline along the east and concordant coastline along the south. The northern part is Eocene clay (Barton Beds), including significant deposits of Purbeck Ball Clay. Where the land rises to the sea there are several parallel strata of Jurassic rocks, including Portland limestone and the Purbeck beds. The latter include Purbeck Marble, a particularly hard limestone that can be polished (though mineralogically, it is not marble). A ridge of Cretaceous chalk runs along the peninsula creating the Purbeck Hills, part of the Southern England Chalk Formation that includes Salisbury Plain, the Dorset Downs and the Isle of Wight. The cliffs here are some of the most spectacular in England, and of great geological interest, both for the rock types and variety of landforms, notably Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, and the coast is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site because of the unique geology.
In the past quarrying of limestone was particularly concentrated around the western side of Swanage, the villages of Worth Matravers and Langton Matravers, and the cliffs along the coast between Swanage and St. Aldhelm's Head. The "caves" at Tilly Whim are former quarries, and Dancing Ledge, Seacombe and Winspit are other cliff-edge quarries. Stone was removed from the cliff quarries either by sea, or using horse carts to transport large blocks to Swanage. Many of England's most famous cathedrals are adorned with Purbeck marble, and much of London was rebuilt in Portland and Purbeck stone after the Great Fire of London.
By contrast, the principal ball clay workings were in the area between Corfe Castle and Wareham. Originally the clay was taken by pack horse to wharves on the River Frome and the south side of Poole Harbour. However in the first half of the 19th century the pack horses were replaced by horse-drawn tramways. With the coming of the railway from Wareham to Swanage, most ball clay was dispatched by rail, often to the Potteries district of Staffordshire.
Quarrying still takes place in Purbeck, with both Purbeck Ball Clay and limestones being transported from the area by road. There are now no functioning quarries of Purbeck Marble.
Wild flowers
The isle has the highest number of species of native and anciently introduced wild flowers of any area of comparable size in Britain.[3] This is largely due to the varied geology. The species most frequently sought is Early Spider Orchid (Ophrys sphegodes), which in Britain, is most common in Purbeck. Nearly 50,000 flowering spikes were counted in 2009. Late April is the best time, and the largest population is usually in the field to the west of Dancing Ledge. Smaller numbers can be seen on a shorter walk in Durlston Country Park. This orchid is the logo of the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Cowslip meadows (Primula veris and Primula deorum) are at their best shortly afterwards and Durlston Country Park has several large ones.
In early May several woods have carpets of Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum). King's Wood and Studland Wood, both owned by the National Trust, are good examples. At around the same time and later some Downs have carpets of yellow Horseshoe Vetch (Hippocrepis comosa) and blue Chalk Milkwort (Polygala calcarea). In late May the field near Old Harry Rocks has a carpet of yellow Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria).
Blue and white flowers of Sheep's bit (Jasione montana) and pink and flowers of Sea Bindweed (Calystegia soldanella) lend colour to Studland dunes in June. Both Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) and Southern Marsh Orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa) are frequent on Corfe Common that month, and Harebells (Campanula rotundifolia) and Purple Betony (Stachys officinalis) flowers add colour to the Common in July.
Dorset Heath (Erica ciliaris), the county flower, can be found in July and August in large numbers, especially on and around Hartland Moor, in damper parts of the heathland. Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) gives displays of yellow flowers there in early July. Marsh Gentian (Gentiana pneumonanthe) is found less frequently in similar areas from mid August to mid September.[3]
Roman, Saxon and Norman
A number of Romano-British sites have been discovered and studied on the Isle of Purbeck, including a villa at Bucknowle Farm near Corfe Castle, excavated between 1976 and 1991.[4] The Kimmeridge shale of the isle was worked extensively during the Roman period, into jewellery, decorative panels and furniture.[5]
At the extreme southern tip of Purbeck is St Aldhelm's Chapel which is Norman work but built on a Pre-Conquest Christian site marked with a circular earthwork and some graves. In 1957 the body of a 13th century woman was found buried NNE of the chapel which suggests there may have been a hermitage in the area. In 2000 the whole chapel site was declared a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The precise function of the chapel building is disputed with suggestions that it may have been a religious retreat, a chantry for the souls of sailors who had drowned off St Aldhelm's Head or even a lighthouse or warning bell to warn sailors. Victorian restoration work of the chapel found signs that a beacon may have adorned the roof. The present cross on the roof is Victorian.
The town of Wareham retains its Saxon earth embankment wall and it churches have Saxon origins. One of these, St Martins-on-the-Walls was built in 1030 and today contains traces of medieval and later wall paintings.
At Corfe Castle village is the great castle which gives the village its modern name. The castle commands the strategic gap in the Purbeck Ridge. The present castle dates from after the Conquest of 1066 but this may replace Saxon work as the village was the place where Saxon King Edward the Martyr had been murdered in 978. The supposed place of his murder is traditionally on, or near, the castle mound. Corfe was one of the first English castles to be built in stone - at a time when earth and timber were the norm. This may have been due to the plentiful supply of good building stone in Purbeck.
Sir John Bankes bought the castle in 1635, and was the owner during the English Civil War. His wife, Lady Mary Bankes, led the defence of the castle when it was twice besieged by Parliamentarian forces. The first siege, in 1643, was unsuccessful, but by 1645 Corfe was one of the last remaining royalist strongholds in Southern England and fell to a siege ending in an assault. In March that year Corfe Castle was demolished ('slighted') on Parliament's orders. Owned by the National Trust, the castle is open to the public. It is protected as a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The isle
A large part of the district is now designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), but a portion of the coast around Worbarrow Bay and the ghost village of Tyneham is still, after nearly 60 years, in the possession of the Ministry of Defence who use it as a training area. Lulworth Ranges are part of the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Gunnery School at Lulworth Camp. Tanks and other armoured vehicles are used in this area and shells are fired. Due to safety reasons, right of entry is only given when the army ranges are not in operation. Large red flags are flown and flashing warning lamps on Bindon Hill and St Alban's Head are lit when the ranges are in use.[6] At such times the entrance gates are locked and wardens patrol the area.
Other places of note are:
Swanage, at the eastern end of the peninsula, is a seaside resort. At one time it was linked by a branch railway line from Wareham; this was closed in 1972, but has now reopened as the Swanage Railway, a heritage railway.
Studland: This is a seaside village in its own sandy bay. Nearby, lying off-shore from The Foreland (also Handfast Point), are the chalk stacks named Old Harry Rocks: Old Harry and his Wife.
Poole Harbour is popular with yachtsmen; it contains Brownsea Island, the site of the first-ever Scout camp.
Corfe Castle is in the centre of the isle, with its picturesque village named after it.
Langton Matravers, which was once the home of several boys preparatory schools until 2007 when the Old Malthouse closed.
Kimmeridge Bay, with its fossil-rich Jurassic shale cliffs, and site of the oldest continually working oil well in the world.
