At the start of the First World War in 1914 the British Government needed effective communications with frontline troops and replaced messengers on horses with despatch riders on motorcycles. Several models were tested for suitability, and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499 cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.
Engine differences from the previous Model A included a single cam wheel with two cams replacing separate cam wheels for the inlet and exhaust valve, and new design of cylinder casting. Valve head diameter was enlarged, and the valves were spaced further apart. The Model H was fitted with a Sturmey-Archer three-speed countershaft gearbox operated by a hand gear change lever.
More than 30,000 Triumph Model H motorcycles had been produced by the end of the war in 1918. The Triumph Engineering Co Ltd had been using the advertising slogan Trusty Triumph since 1910 and the Model H became known as 'The Trusty' as it proved reliable in wartime conditions, despite a weakness in the front fork spring. This was prone to break on rough ground, so despatch riders would strap a leather belt around it as a precaution.
This 1915 Triumph Model H and beautiful wicker sidecar is one of more than 1,000 British machines on display in the National Motorcycle Museum.
Now replaced with a grassy verge, this walled mirror is long gone from the corner of Spencer street & Collins street.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
Two days ago was my birthday and to be honest, I've never really been crazy about them.
I kind of thought of them as any other day.
Just like all the others, my 25th birthday was not special.
Friends and family would constantly tell me how I had to make it special because it is the quarter
of a century. But I have this strong thought that I can enjoy and make special any given day.
And well, I spent the whole day working.
Yesterday I left off to the mountains with a couple of my friends for reasons far away from my birthday.
Being up there, in such immensity, with the cold mist and the sound of silence, I realized how beautiful
being alive is, because sometimes, other things make you forget.
I thought of all the people I've met, all the love I've been given, all the music I've played.
Made me think of how lucky all of us who have lived are.
The weather up there was beyond perfect, and the views were to die for.
It was as if life itself was trying to tell me how lucky I am to have been part of this world more than 9131 days.
Now I have a whole different perspective.
A birthday is a day were you should be with the people you love, doing what you love, eating what you love.
Loving your life even more.
So for all of you who have been part of my life, thank you so much for making it so beautiful.
Love always.
My fence is missing! The fences are being replaced, after 24 years, at my complex. All flower pots had to be pulled back. They are large and very heavy. Crystal strong like bull. Thank you Crystal.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

Amtrak AEM7 #911 is prepared to depart New Haven CT after replacing F40 #241 and adding two more Amfleet coaches to the southbound train from Boston MA. Within a few years the tradition of the locomotive swap between electric and diesel electric would end as Amtrak was busy at this time electrifying the remaining portion of the old New Haven Railroad between New Haven and Boston. By 2000, the new Acela high speed sets as well as traditional trains would merely pause at New Haven for passengers instead of the 45-60 minute wait while the engines were changed. The 911 continued in service until early 2011 when it suffered a major fire and was withdrawn from service. Cannibalized for usable parts, the remaining hulk was scrapped later on.

Original 'Star Alliance' livery featuring the six founding members of the alliance, Air Canada, Lufthansa, United Airlines, Varig Brazil, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Thai Airways International.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJF, this aircraft was delivered to Air Canada as C-FYLD in Apr-97. It was due to be leased to LAN Airlines (Chile) in Jan-08 but the lease was cancelled. The aircraft was leased to Gestair (Spain) as EC-KSE in May-08 and operated on behalf of Iberia in full Iberia livery.
It was returned to Air Canada as G-CHSJ in Feb-13 and stored at Sao Paulo - Guarulhos, Brazil. The aircraft remained stored until it was leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-FPU in Dec-13. It was permanently retired at San Bernardino, CA, USA in Mar-20 and broken up there in 2021.
Note 1. The registration C-FYLD was later applied to a Sunwing Airlines Boeing 737-800 between Dec-09 / Apr-10.
Note 2. I was a bit suspicious of the British registration G-CHSJ for Air Canada while it was stored in Brasil, thinking it was likely to be a misprint for C-GHSJ. However, on checking the UK CAA aircraft database I found that G-CHSJ was correct. The aircraft was British registered between Feb/Dec-13. The Canadian registration C-GHSJ is/was a Cessna 172.
Got some new furniture and props--including an AMAZEBALLS 1:6 scale upright piano to replace the terrible Byers Choice one. This was a Mr Christmas holiday player piano beat all to hell that I got for $35 on evilbay. I removed all the inner workings, replaced the front with wood, and painted it. I am STUPIDLY HAPPY with it, tho at some point I need to get casters for it.
Also got a PERFECT 1:6 milk crate from Shapeways. Alas, it is so perfect that the 1:6 albums I made don't quite fit inside. So I may have to tweak them--or make some new ones that are just 3mm smaller, so they fit more comfortably inside.
I decided Kimber, Stormer, and Riot are spending the afternoon working. Kimber's brainstorming lyrics, Riot's working on a new melody, and Stormer is frustrated because she just can't get the bridge of her new song quite right.

I must admit that I'm not particularly keen on underside shots like this, they invariably produce a silhouette. This one isn't bad though!
The Boeing 747-400D was built for the Japanese Domestic market and had no winglets. They didn't do anything for fuel efficiency on short sectors and omitting them saved weight. Only 19 were built for Japan Air Lines and All Nippon Airways, they had a maximum passenger capacity of 660.
This aircraft was delivered to ANA All Nippon Airways as JA8959 in Jan-93. It was in service with ANA for almost 20 years before being permanently retired at Tupelo, MS, USA in Oct-12. The registration was cancelled 3 days later.
This two-storeyed hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since 1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street premises.
The building was designed by architect Alexander B. Wilson, who is more known for his domestic work. It was built by contractor Abraham James, whose tender of £3,300 was accepted in March 1885.
The hotel, prominently located in central Stanley Street, serviced the commercial heart of South Brisbane. Its proximity to the South Brisbane wharves ensured its popularity amongst those engaged in shipping interests.
Initially the L-shaped interior comprised on the ground floor: a central hall, staircase, dining room, two private rooms (probably for dining also), bar, parlour, storage spaces, billiard room and lavatories; the first floor contained fourteen guest rooms and a bathroom. A verandah along the back of the building connected it to a detached single-storey kitchen. A cellar completed the facilities.
The building has been altered a number of times since its initial construction. In 1922, additions were made by contractors Robertson and Corbette, following the designs of GHM Addison and Son. It is thought that the street awning was added at this time.
In 1987 the building was modified to function as a tavern during Expo '88. Most of the internal walls were removed, the central fire place, and chimney were taken out, and the interior was re-fitted. Also the front verandah was widened, the rear verandah extended, and windows and doors replaced at this time.
In 1991 - 1992 a conservation plan for the Plough Inn was prepared by Bruce Buchanan architects, and the interior was fully refurbished. The front verandah was also reconstructed.

In the late 1980s Network SouthEast placed contracts for 710 trainsets to replace the Southern Region's EPB suburban slam door stock. The contract led to the delivery of the Networker class 465 and 466 units. Once deliveries were underway the EPB units began to be withdrawn from service but prior to scrapping the units were stripped of reuseable components at Bournemouth depot in Dorset. Scrapping took place at Margam in South Wales, under the auspices of an organisation called Gwent Demolition.
A regular Tuesdays and Thursday-only movement for several years in the early 1990s was the dragging of withdrawn EPB stock from Bournemouth to Margam. Here 47579 'James Nightall G.C.' hauls 4 EPB cars up Parkstone bank while running 7V15, the 0928 Bournemouth to Margam.
After ETH-conversion in 1981 from 47183, 47579 returned to Stratford depot in East London and stayed until 1990 when it moved across London to Old Oak Common. From Old Oak 47579 operated on both the Thames Valley services to Oxford and Newbury as well as the West of England line to Exeter from Waterloo.
In April 1993 47579 was released from regular passenger operation and was assigned to a dedicated NSE pool related to new stock delivery: effectively tying the locomotive into the Networker programme. As well as Networker delivery runs thus pool also provided traction for the Bournemouth to Margam runs.
47579 survived the mass cull of class 47s through the 1990s and in 2017 the locomotive is preserved at Mangapps Railway Museum in Essex.
