* 1958 Jaguar XK – 150 O.T.S. *
Produced between 1958 and 1960 the XK-150 was Jaguar’s last sport car before the legendary XK-E.
It featured a 3.4 litre double overhead cam six-cylinder engine that produced 210 bhp @ 5500 rpm. It was the world’s first production car with four-wheel disk brakes.
This car has approximately 85,000 miles on it and was restored in 1994. The current owner has had the car over 20 years and regularly drives it on tours and to shows.

This ‘thing’ has been sitting on my computer for quite some time but in between purchasing FileMaker Pro (a professional database application), installing the application on two computers, spending hours and hours trying to learn its inexhaustible features and intricacies (much like Photoshop) only more daunting because it incorporates; spreadsheets, data algorisms, mathematical calculations and a multitude of other complicated, complex features that tend to tire my already tired cerebrum; downloading and installing updated operating systems on two of our computers, then having to update tons of out dated software to be compatible with these new OS’s, re-configuring my LAN network (among three computers); learning iMovie, then discovering that the new OS’s come preloaded with a very good scanning software resulting in saving my old Epson flatbed scanner which I first thought was a “goner” because its native scan software was incompatible with Mac Yosemite and El Capitan, reading two books (“A Time For Truth” by Ted Cruz and “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson), occasionally taking a bath (splish-splash) and even more “occasionally” saying “hello” and “goodbye” to my wife, answering tons of inane emails, taking out the trash (no, not referring to email trash) and, and, and…….well spending time writing this worthless, irrelevant narrative…….. and the point is? Yes, well, I forgot!
Anyway, hope you enjoy “life” my friends………..
Cosmos garden cultivar. Botanic Park Belfast - great big beds full of these in full flower in front of the palm house.
Interesting to watch the bees moving randomly between the white, pink and purple flowers. I had wrongly assumed that the bees would have stuck to one colour. Honey bees always stick to one type of flower as they forage unlike bumble bees. I have watched carder bees and white tail bumblebees fly from flower to flower on the pots on my patio irrespective of colour and plant family.
Interesting to see that the honey bees can ignore colour when appropriate.
Nice yellow pollen load clearly visible.

25 Presets. 2 Tutorial Videos. 20 Sample Images. Rather Redonkulously Long Preset Names that are More Problematic than Helpful. — New presets for Aurora HDR Pro YAY :) Grab the preset expansion at ift.tt/1YN3YZL or get the full Bundle at ift.tt/1X1oB7y ! Hello Internet friends. Trey Here. As of the time of writing this, Aurora HDR Pro has only been out less than half a year and already has 250,000+ downloads. It’s clear people love this! Well, I use this almost every day… sometimes to process dozens of photos. I honestly love it. Remember when I used to use Photomatix? Remember back in the 70’s when I used to stand up and walk over to the Magnavox to change the channel? Yeah, that was pretty lame. In the past few months, I’ve created about 100 presets. I thought about releasing all of them, but that seemed to be too silly and information over-load, so I decided on my favorite 25. I actually had a little Google Doc, and whenever I used one, I updated the spreadsheet. Pretty geeky I know, but it helped figure out the best 25. I’ll be honest. Every set of photos is different and some of these presets will make your photo look amazing, and others like complete garbage. There, I said it. But listen, I’m an expert in this stuff, and you just can’t have a preset that works perfectly in Daytime + Nighttime + Indoor/Outdoor + CutePet. So, some will look amazing, others not so much. But don’t give up, next time you might get the inverted results! One of my favorite new presets is called “Girls Love them some Jon Snow.” It’s dark and moody and has just the right amount of HDR. It works great in night situations. Another great one that works with night shots is “Horrible Mistakes on Snapchat." Looking for a good daytime filter? This one really plays with the dynamic glow, but I keep going to it. It’s called "ROBOT TREY Calls This 101101101” which is really a stupid name but Robot Trey doesn’t think about these things. Another daytime winner is "Chocolate Increases Happiness & Shame.” You’ll notice how there are thematic connections between the presets that hint towards an artist in an e via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy

Thanks goodness for plant labels! There are so many different Rhododendrons in Rowallane and a few of them in flower already. This one seemed popular with the bees today.
A big shrub, most of the flowers (and bees) were high up but I managed to grab some pictures on lower flowers.

A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.
Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.
Here, Left to Right are :-
6023 - "King Edward II" - King or 6000 class 4-6-0
29 - The Lambton, Hetton and Joicey Loco on loan from NYMR
2999 - "Lady of Legend"
No 29 is in steam and will later run on the branch Line and
No 2999 is in steam and will run on the main Demonstration Line.

When the maelstrom of life swirls around us and the very foundations and certainties which we have been our guide seem shaken to the core many people find solace and calm in their spiritual faith.
Whoops. Sorry - I must have been in a poetic mood when I penned that paragraph. This image wasn’t taken to say that, but it seems an appropriate caption for it.
It’s a picture of Uley, the village where I live. Pronounced yewly, the name is thought to come from yew woods in the area, long since gone.
There is a Uley in Australia too, near Adelaide, and that was named by emigrants from here when the woollen industry collapsed I guess (or they may have been dastardly criminals of course!).
The flat hill you see behind the village is Uley Bury, an iron age fort dating from 300BC. There is a place called Uleybury near Adelaide too… spot the connection ;)
There is also a Uley in Russia too, but I think they just stole the name and have yet to pay royalties.
The church was built in Victorian times replacing an earlier, less grand church on the same site - a rocky outcrop at the wealthier, upper end of the village (that’s because the water was cleaner higher up!).
Needless to say I don’t live that end :)
This is another wobbly camera shot for my 100x Motion project this year (I'm currently 2.49 images behind according to Andrew's spreadsheet). It uses the advanced swirlywobbles technique which I seem to have made my own.
I haven’t seen anyone else try it which puzzles me as it’s quite easy (just point the camera at something and spin around its lens axis - or go from portrait to landscape if that makes more sense). Perhaps it’s simply that no one else likes the effect…
It does need a lot of attempts to get a good shot. The main problem is making the rotation smooth (hold out your arms) and getting the sweet spot pointed at the right place. Just takes lots and you’ll get something.
As with most ICMs you need to bump the saturation and contrast in processing (don't be shy), and probably sharpen it too, to counter the camera’s natural inclination to expose everything to mid-grey. But you can use Flickr’s inbuilt editor to do that easily enough.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, 46447 is just about to power the next round trip.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

Atrina Center, Athens – Architect Ioannis Vikelas
Presenting a series of buildings on the routes of ATHENS ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY Workshop, Nov. 23-26/27 (Full Workshop Description and sign up here: goo.gl/wd4Gh
Not my usual kind of image, but a moment I liked a lot and thought that it was worth a still shot. Of course, there is also the LE version waiting to be processed and will be out as well, hopefully soon.
One of the landmarks of Athens, this building is designed by the same architect that designed the Athens Towers, of which I have already posted two shots: A Path to the Sky I -The Tower and also A Path to the Sky II -The Sky Beyond , both awarded with Honorable Mention at the IPA 2012, and just like the towers, this building is a high-rise structure, very slim and elegant, highly suited for dynamic compositions taken from very near to the building, as this shot, as well as from further away. And of course for LE shots, even if this shot isn't one. I so much loved this cloud resting just above the building, it seemed almost mystical to me, especially that it came out of nowhere, on a hot summer day, with a perfect clear blue sky. All the clouds I had that day came and went in a matter of half an hour or less. Just the time for me to take a few shots and leave. Happily I had the tripod and everything with me, so I didn't miss the occasion. Bears mentioning that the security people of this building were extremely nice and even wanted to help me with shooting.
So, closing the parenthesis and back to the building. It is comprised of three prismatic volumes of different heights, the highest rising at about 8om, creating a very interesting structure that overlooks the area and can be seen from afar. It has a metallic structure, combined with concrete elements and wrapped into a tinted dark glass and metal façade, that can give either very interesting reflections, or a rich matte dark blue hue, depending on the position of the camera.
I'll be posting more photos of different Athens buildings that will be on the routes of the Workshop, here but also on my G+ and Facebook stream, to give an idea about what we are going to see and shoot in November. Hope you'll like them and if yes, you're welcome to Register here for the workshop as well.
Have a good weekend everyone! :)

This was taken on Thompson between Canal & Grand
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...

Apols for not getting time to comment today - I will def catch up with contacts' pictures over the weekend
Jolly Boys - Perfect Day
Back in 2016 when Felix and I submitted this project reaching 10k was merely a dream but now thanks to you it has come true.
Our FIAT 500 will have completed its journey successfully and stuck the landing of the "10k jump". Admittedly, it's not been an easy journey and over the past two years we had our doubts if we could make it in time. All the more we want to thank each and every one of you who supported, commented and shared so we could get there in the end. We really hope you like the improvements we've made to the initial design over the course of time in the update section. We've always tried our best to keep the updates as exciting and interesting as possible.
What comes next?
As most of you undoubtedly already know our project will now move on into what's called the LEGO Ideas review. Three times a year LEGO evaluates all the projects that reached 10k independently and checks whether they've got what it takes to become an official set. This review process usually takes a few months. We don't want to get our hopes up but the fact that LEGO approved the Caterham Seven at least shows there would be a market for relatively large scale car models.
Shortly after we reach 10k the comment thread as well as the update section will be locked. You're most welcome to follow Gabriele and me on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube though to avoid missing out on further news.
Before this happens though we want to thank a few people/groups personally.
Special thanks to:
SavetheBrick and MichielsMum aka Heleen for their continued interest and kind comments,
Nicolas Jarraud aka Scrubs who created the fantastic online LEGO CAD-software Mecabricks without which this collaboration would not have been possible,
KovJonas who created a wonderful spreadsheet to keep track of the support history of our project and also helped us with promoting,
Michael Klein aka Renderbicks who inspired our 3D presentations and gave us very useful tips,
The entire Fiat 500 Club Italia for their support and enthusiasm.
And finally all the LEGO fan clubs and websites who featured our project and made this possible.
Thank you for sharing this adventure with us and we hope it's been just as fun of a ride for you as it has been for us.
-The creators Gabriele and Felix

Here, at Leicester North Station, 65894, a J27 0-6-0 Locomotive owned and Maintained by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG) is running round a train it has just hauled along the railway line.
65894 was designed by Worsdell and Raven and built at Darlington Works for NER.

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Mendip Vale Station after running round the train, 46447 is about to power the return journey to Cranmore.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.
