Seemingly a new keeper this month, the MOT history suggests around 27k miles covered. There's can't be many Paseos with low a mileage.
This seemingly stupid boring meaningless shot holds more sentimental value to me than any picture in this 365 project so far.
I love this shot more than any! And I love the fact that I took the time to actually take it.
See – today I drove to 2.5 hrs to Levittown, Pennsylvania (from New Jersey) to visit with my fathers side of the family. We had a good time and I got to see everyone. Chloe scored a bunch of presents, got to bond with her cousin Cassandra, I saw all my relatives and it was a day well spent.
However, on the way up there I took the time to stop by 4406 Pearson Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This is where I spent a big portion of my childhood, at least 3 years of it from about 7-9 years old.
And not only that, I spent the years of my childhood here that followed a very traumatic horrible experience in my life.
THIS PLACE WAS LIKE A SANCTUARY TO ME!
I haven’t been back here in over 20 years.
And when I drove down the street, I didn’t know whether I would recognize this place or not.
I did!! And it almost brought tears to my eyes when I saw the apartment I used to live in.
I drove up the block, I got out of my car, and I made my way down this street with *MY* daughter who is about the age I was then.
The emotions were rushing in. I couldn’t believe I was reliving the most special place I have ever and WILL EVER live in my entire my life.
My first girlfriend lived across the street. We played chicken little together. I remember running around with her and calling her my girlfriend, is was so cute. Lisa. Yeah – that was her name.
Or my friend Jon across the street. We collected Garbage Pail Kid cards. He DREW comic books and I made the stories up. He was good at drawing and sketching and I was good at the stories and writing. Wow – I wonder what Jon is up to now.
I remember the honey suckles blocks away up the street. I used to pick them and eat them as an 8 year old boy. They were so good, tasted like honey.
But here is the kicker. At that time, my Mom used to send me down the street, across a busy intersection many blocks away, with a FUCKING NOTE authorizing me to buy her cigarettes with a 5 dollar bill.
I swear to god.
And at that time, which was the mid 1980’s, that was okay to do.
Keep in mind we are speaking of the fact that I LIVED IN PHILADELPHIA. A major metropolitan city with millions of people, many of which were (and are now) child molester crack heads.
I am not mad at my mother. A lot of people did that then. And fact of the matter is I always wound up back home with her Kool Lights and her change.
Anyhow here I am taking this all in. All these memories rushing to my head like a massive heart attack.
I miss you 4406 Pearson Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. You hold some of the most precious, innocent, and treasured memories that exist in my life.

Seemingly someone's pride and joy - at some point anyway. With a personalised number plate fitted from new and seemingly every option box ticked, let alone the immaculate condition, it'd be interesting to know why this oddity ended up here.
54,000 miles and has been a tow car at some point!
Only counting movies I saw for the first time.
Faves: 6… tentatively.
Best documentary: The unbelievers!
Best non-documentary: The imitation game!
Göteborg International Film Festival movies: 8… A seemingly unavoidable consequence of reading about almost each of the 500 movies in the programme. %D (And I marked way more than 8.) Except… I no longer live in Gothenburg… This year I can only send for a programme, mark delicious movies, weep, and hope that I find them down the road. Of life. Er.

9-Feb-2015: 13. The imitation game
Fave! It has become very rare for me to fave a (non-documentary) film after only one viewing (or two… or 9000…), but I faved this before it was even over. It has… almost everything! :D (Including, but not limited to, Britishness, lolz, Aspie traits, feminism, nerd pride, gay pride, computers, that guy with the name that all the kids are going on about these days, god-stompin’, suicide, adorkability, and the best Oscar speech of 2015. ^_^ ) I went to see the movie because of my mild interest in computer history. (As I’ve said before, though I suck at computers I tend to like stories about them.) Within days, I became a Cumbercookie LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. o_O Then I dragged my mum along to my second viewing of "The imitation game", and she loved it too… and has rewatched it. Twice. She virtually never rewatches any movie even once. Anyway… It turned out I had already seen about five of Benedict’s movies (the first one being "Creation" in 2010!), but… I… kind of… sort of… otterly… failed to… remember him in them. *ERROR ERROR MEEEEEP BZZZZZZZZ BLAMMO* I was the last person in the world to get on that train. -_- Four or five "Sherlock" marathons: Check. "Hamlet": Check. :) :B :D xD

With Penyghent seemingly producing its own clag trail in competition with the lively 'Royal Scot' class 4-6-0, No.46115 'Scots Guardsman' gives off its distinctive 3-cylinder 'scherzo' as it storms up the 1 in 100 grade between Selside and Ribblehead heading the 'Fellsman' charter from Lancaster to Carlisle on 20th July 2011. The wreath on the front of the locomotive was in tribute to John Shuttleworth, one of Britain's finest steam photographers, who died after a long illness on June 6th 2011 at the age of 71. He would most certainly have been impressed with this performance of man and machine.

A seemingly forgotten, frozen-in-time, abandoned Super Stop & Shop along Beverage Hill Road in Pawtucket, and a stone's throw from the Rumford town line. This store closed up around 2010 and sits vacantly today in a half-dead Narragansett Park Plaza.
Not without effort, the town still has a bombastic plan to redevelop into a multi-mixed use site.
Seemingly the rarest out of the Ford Galaxy/ VW Sharan line. This is an older Alhambra which had a very long production life, mostly unchanged from 1996 until 2010. Sadly scrapped.
Burgess’ seemingly orderly assemblies of metal and granite reveal her reverence for discipline and rational order. They also disclose her spirit of inquiry and courage to express murkier and unknown elements: the stuff of dreams, intuition and experience. For Burgess, the abstract forms and geometric objects in her sculptural compositions hold specific personal meanings, memories and truths, enabling her to “situate the personal and mundane the infinite and the unknowable.”
Seemingly without tax and MOT since 2014, but as you can see it was very much in use just a few months ago.
I hate to fall into that predictable Samuel Johnson trap, but the townscape of London as viewed from The Shard, London Eye etc is actually pretty dull. It's basically a case of 'oh, look, there's a recognisable building'. Nothing more. It's flat and boring.
Until night falls, that is. Only then is it fun to watch the lights of traffic, trains, floodlighting and street lighting. During the day it is difficult to see the outline of the wonderful and seemingly haphazard pattern of streets - the cityscape only really comes alive from this point.
The weather conditions are pretty good, this photo was taken in the end of the world on the eve of December 21, 2012, the trajectory of this astrological photo seemingly calm before the storm!

Seemingly too delicate to survive a rough ocean life - but, as a species, seahorses are well evolved and adapted for their natural marine habitat. It is the effects of human activity to which they are most vulnerable.

seemingly forgotten part of New York is The Worlds Fair in Corona Park Flushing Meadows in Queens. really cool place for a walk.
After a seemingly long period where Tokyo shops and Japanese online stores were completely dry on Voigtlander lenses, the availability seems to pick up again. The 28mm from Cosina/Voigtlander was on my wish list for a long time - well, for as long as I have had a M6 with 28mm framelines.
While browsing the net for information on this lens, I noticed Tom Abrahamsson's trick of placing black tape over the frameline illumination window. This should in theory remove the framelines exposing the whole finder with only the rangefinder patch visible.
I tried but on my very early M2 model (I know Tom isn't too exited about the early button rewind M2's so his M2's are probably newer and may have a slightly different construction?), the rangefinder patch window seemed to allow sufficient light to illuminate the 90mm framelines anyway.
Regardless; if you use the whole window of any 0.72 mag M finder, you will have your 28mm viewfinder and thus no need for an external finder.
The lens itself is has a surprisingly nice feel and wonderful heft (considering the pricepoint) - can't wait to see the results.

triffids – tall plants capable of aggressive and seemingly intelligent behaviour. They are able to move about by "walking" on their roots, appear to communicate with each other, and possess a deadly whip-like poisonous sting that enables them to kill their victims and feed on their rotting carcasses.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Triffids.
The Day of the Triffids is a 1951 post-apocalyptic novel about a plague of blindness which befalls the entire world, allowing the rise of an aggressive species of plant.
One of the first novels I ever borrowed from a library as a kid. I was enraptured. The genesis of my love of science fiction. The literary depiction of the triffids slowly overtaking buildings and civilization has stayed with me. Probably why I respect and admire our natural world so much and strive to protect and nourish it. My love of plantlife is well documented here.
Another seemingly elusive vehicle in the KMB fleet is Volvo B8L / MCV AVBML1 seen here in the morning sunshine at Mei Foo, when at the time of the shot it was the only example in the fleet. However, 10 days later it has now been joined by a second similar vehicle in service.

- Sir, Can I ask you a thing!
- Well Lomax I am in the middle of a fight with the Pirat captain, but sure, why not!
- Now I know we are in a movie, since this is the very same room we were in at last mission, only slightly altered with different props, and also we caught them of guard so the director didn´t have time to dress the enemies as proper space-pirates these guys suits look like 17th century, I bet they were filming a pirat movie before!
This happened in the previous episode:
- Sir, can I ask you a thing?
- Lomax, why now when we have narrowed down the nasty boss in his throne room!
- eh Sorry boss, it is just that I start to see a theme in this work, I know I am just a rookie, but I have started to see this theme!
First we board a ship or venture in to a base, then we fight all the foot soldiers and evade the traps then we find the big boss in some purple, red or similar throne room just waiting for us...
why? then he has a small speech and we start fighting him and then he dies and we win!
- (Big Boss) Welcome my Heros, so you found me at last, you have been fighting well.....
Another seemingly never-ending procession of coal wagons rumbles into Newcastle Port's loading facility. These trains travel over a hundred kilometres from the mines, down to the port and back again on dedicated rail lines.
Alas, the aperture mechanism of my IRIX 15mm f2.4 Blackstone "died" today - now remaining wide open all the time. Back to the manufacturer!
The image is uncropped and has had no distortion correction applied. Tripod shot, but the train is moving.

Unidentified and seemingly uncoded, one of the US Naval Test Center LTV TA-7C Corsair II's seen taxying at Patuxent River, Maryland back in August 1987
A rare variant of the SLUF as not many US Navy examples were built, or converted from single-seater A-7's and this was the first time I'd seen one in relatively close quarters
A type that 'Pax River' had a handful of for testing and related work but it wasn't until the Greek Air Force took delivery of their fleet of single and two-seat Corsairs that I saw more of them
The Air Force had 30 x A-7K two-seaters built which were stored in AMARC by 1996

The seemingly permanent rot dtit (traffic jam) is a fact of life in Bangkok, Thailand and makes simple journeys that should take 20 minutes end up over an hour, even out of rush hour. The relatively small number of roads, the annual floods in September and October, and the hundreds of new cars flooding on to the roads every day don't help matters much either. However, Bangkok's impressive skytrain and new subway facilities combined now cover much of areas of the city a visitor is likely to go to and provide a convenient way to bypass them.

A seemingly brand new Thunderbird parked in a hotel driveway. A stylish couple can be seen behind the shiny hardtop coupé. Is it their car, or are they just passers-by admiring the Ford's sleek design? Note the curb feeler – or whisker – attached to the car's rear wheel arch.
Country of origin: USA
A seemingly simple view of a manhole cover in New York city.
Sometimes keeping an image clean and simple is easier said than done. For a little more detail to how isolated my subject see my blog for a more detailed write up.
A seemingly rarely-photographed bus is Centaur's Wright Streedeck SN69ZWR, equipped with roof mounted chimney and satellite dish, which runs a service on behalf of University of East London.
A seemingly very common sight now in 2020; an ACu pair on the T49/235/234 loop. This morning featured 7033 leading heritage unit 7018. I haven't shot a pair of ACu's on 234 in a bit so it was a nice little catch this morning. Here they are rounding the curve at around mile 2.5 of the North Toronto.

Unidentified rail bridge over a river seemingly being repaired.
Seemingly 2 suns are setting over Seven Sisters from the top windows of the ex-lighthouse which is now a quirky guesthouse and made a very fine surprise gift from my wife (who incidently doesn't like heights but braved the lookout balcony to take some pictures with me). The weather stayed fine for the sunset around 5-50am which we could see from our room . It seemed only a couple of rabbits kept us company as we walked out at dawn - the previous evening it was busy with tourists visiting nearby Beachy Head. Altogether a great experience
A seemingly standard allocation these days, every time I'm out I see a Y3 branded bus on the Y28!!
3030 is todays oddity, seen opposite NCT's rival service 28 at Beechdale Baths with a Y28 to Nottingham via Ilkeston Road and Canning Circus.
Commentary.
Seemingly, little more than an infrequently used farm track, this trail leads from Loch Duntelchaig and Torness to Inverfarigaig,
over the “lip,” above the southern shore of Loch Ness.
Like a rocky, bumpy, knobbly “Inselberg,” Roche moutonée or mini-Sugar-loaf, capped by a single pine-tree, this hill stands starkly above seven “switchback” bends that take it down 200 metres or 650 feet to the famous loch.
Across the chasm, and in shot, is the monolith of Meall Fuar-mhonaidh, at 700 metres or 2,300 feet.
A series of varied and startling landscapes occur in rapid succession on and around the fault line, called “The Great Glen.”
Melanie: Have you ever seen so many gulls? What do you suppose it is?
Mrs. MacGruder, pet store clerk: Well, there must be a storm at sea, that can drive them inland, you know.
Seemingly quite hard to find US cars in the UK, this rather unusual import is an example of what they call a "crossover SUV" over the pond. Most probably owned by a member of the US Armed forces, this one was spotted over in Oxfordshire, where several bases are. Many US imports have this AE suffix. This car is powered by a 3.6 litre V6 engine. There can't be many Saturn cars in the UK, I have to select the 'other' option when searching the DVLA for this one. This one's been in the UK for 6 years and only 1 year in the US presumably. Saturn is a now defunct manufacturer, as of October 2010.
The vehicle details for AE57 PBZ are:
Date of Liability 01 08 2014
Date of First Registration 31 08 2008
Year of Manufacture 2007
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 3600cc
CO₂ Emissions 0 g/km
Fuel Type PETROL
Export Marker N
Vehicle Status Licence Due to Expire
Vehicle Colour GREY
Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
There are seemingly at least four different moss species growing together here. (As to their identity, the moss barely visible at the far left and perhaps also at the far right seems to be a species of Brachythecium; the moss left of center may be a Bryum and the moss right of center looks like Encalypta . . . . )

a seemingly very young woman stands in the doorway of a "hairdresser", this is not a place to have a haircut.
In Chinese pinyin this has a name it is Ji Dian. (perhaps this translates as Slut shop or Hooker shop)
The colourful background to this shot is a (seemingly) Barbarella inspired 'pop-up' make-up store for Huda Beauty that was situated in Covent Garden just before Christmas. More info here : www.coventgarden.london/whats-on/huda-beauty
I waited ages hoping for someone visually interesting to come along and provide some foreground interest but in the end I had to settle for this guy......
I hadn't heard of Huda Beauty but it seems they're quite well known....... Wikipedia states "Huda Beauty is a cosmetics line launched in 2013 by Iraqi-American businesswoman and makeup artist, Huda Kattan. The founder, Kattan, was chosen as one of "The 25 Most Influential People on the Internet" by Time in 2017, listed as one of The Richest Self-Made Women and one of the Top Three Beauty Influencers by Forbes. In the span of 5 years, the brand has built a positive reputation on some of its products, such as fake eyelashes series, a collection of foundation, eyeshadow and some face palettes."

With his seemingly uncomplicated sculptures, Snoeck ultimately wants only one thing: to depict the essence of man. Characteristic of his work are the soft shapes, rounded corners and often primary colours. Another striking feature is that the clay sculptures are always composed of planes with deep-seated lines in between. This clear division of planes is also found in his other work, such as graphics, textiles, ceramic smallware and paintings.
The seated 'Man', now in the Zuiderpark, complies in every respect with this general characterisation of a Snoeck sculpture.
The man's head and body are one, the thick stub nose marks the face and the arms or legs are indicated by a worm-shaped band that is wrapped around the body.
