Former Western National Bristol VR No.1186 (FDV818V) is now in the hands of Chepstow Classic Buses and is seen here at Winkleigh.
Alongside, showing the heritage of the VR’s ECW bodywork, is what appears to be a Bristol LD with rear entrance. Not sure of its origins, the only distinguishing feature that was readily identifiable without trespass was an aluminium plate riveted to the chassis ahead of the front axle reading “230015”.
Judging by the paintwork revealed by the removal of the engine it would appear to have originated in a “Green” fleet. Western National can be discounted owing to the “T” type destination layout. Southern Vectis, perhaps?
Over to you…….
Coca Cola Glass Bottles Share a Coke Promotion 7/2014 Pics by Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube.
An important ritual for the Papuan Dani people in the Baliem Valley (main town Wamena) is the pig festival. In some cases used traditionally in peacemaking, it is now a broader cultural festival. This was my second time in Wamena and my second experience of a Dani festival.
We arrived on foot to the Dani village. En route we were treated to ritual battle and hunting demonstrations, and then entered the village itself. Here the village women waited to weclome us and and we caught our first sight of the pig. We had paid for the pig and would share the meat with the village.
One of the male hunters killed the pig with an arrow. The animal was butchered in the open area between the huts - a man teaching a young boy the cuts - and a fire pit was dug. The fire pit was filled with hot rocks, herbs, sweet potatoes and the meat and while we waited for the food to cook / bake we enjoyed seeing more of the Dani.
On my first visit to the Dani, the pig festival had been a happy event, and the villagers had obviously enjoyed themselves as much as we had. This time some mere more subdued and I learned that a villager (I believe a child) had recently died and that the village was still grieving. Had we known of this before arriving, we might have been able to bring something appropriate in addition to the pig itself. Once we were there, the language gap prevented us from doing anything other than expressing formal condolences.
Two years earlier, in another part of Indonesian West Papua, we had come to an Asmat village which was also in mourning and we were requested to return a few days later. Here with the Dani, there was no such request and we were welcomed. Nevertheless, when I look back at some of he photos, I wonder whether some of the villagers would have preferred more time to grieve.
Is it as Simple as Sharing?
One of the biggest challenges and primary missions for parents and teachers alike is teaching the virtue of sharing. As a consequence of human nature, sharing conflicts with what may rank as one of the more powerful forces in the universe, which just happens to be greed

The lens manufacturing year / serial no. data, model features / typology are as to:
For Nikon F cameras the lenses 50mm f2 Auto S Nikkor and later 50mm f1.4 Auto Nikkor-S was standart.
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
Nikon brought semi-automatic aperture indexing (SAI) from the Nikkormat FTN into the professional F with the FTN finder.
The F is the first member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began 1959 and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F2,F3,F4,F5 and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.

Leeks and Bounds CSA Farm, North Hampton NH
This time last year Red arrived from Northern Ireland, I had finally found my dream sidepart Red Kenner! <3
I couldn't have been more overjoyed when I saw her sweet face for the first time and prayed her hair wasn't as sparse as her auction pics suggested! I was so relieved to find it just needed to be combed over as her parting had been displaced and Abbie "Kenner Angel" was kind enough to come to the rescue and secure her missing hairplugs for me. I know how lucky I am to have this gorgeous sweetie and its nice to share her with friends who appreciate her as much as me! I will never forget how much I was shaking bidding for her and Suzy being there every second of it, cheering me on! LOL As soon as she arrived I called her little Red as her hair was so bright and as hard as I tried to pick the perfect name for her, nothing seemed to suit her better! :D
Red wanted to wear her special pommepomme dress to celebrate and sends you all lots of hugs. She hopes all the Kenners hidden in attics will be discovered and loved again! xxx
We hiked out to Bass Lake. So glad to be able to share this magical and personal place with Santi and David. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. ~~ Hicimos un dia largo de treking para llegar a Bass Lake. Me hace muy feliz que podemos compartir este lugar tan especial en mi vida. El clima no puede ser mejor.
Kleine Vos in gezelschap.
Mist een beetje scherpte in de verste vleugel, alhoewel het me niet stoort en de kern van de bloem had ook wat scherper gekund, maar ben wel tevreden met het resultaat.
Ben nog wat aan het zoeken naar de juiste instellingen (iso, diafragma).
Deze is gemaakt op iso 200, f=5, -0,3 EV, diafragma-voorkeur, afstand naar object = 67 cm op 105 mm (op mijn toestel is dit 157,5 mm)

Small Tortoiseshell in company
It misses a bit of sharpness in the colored wing and the top of the flower should be a bit sharper as well, but I'm happy with the result.
I am looking to find the right setting (iso, aperture).
Camera settings: iso 200, f=5, -0,3 EV, aperture priority, distance to object = 67 cm, 105 mm (on my camera this is 157,5 mm)
