This 512 BB was one of the very first 5-litre Berlinetta Boxers to enter the UK, originally used by the importer for demonstration, the car was famously featured in the hotly anticipated Autocar magazine article in 1978. Since then the car has covered just some 15.000 miles and was restored back to original specifications by DK Engineering in 2017 - the London Concours is the first time the car has been seen in public since.

Had to shoot and scoot for this one. I angered a bat by taking over its camp spot, and now it was circling for the kill.
(6 minute exposure + LED2 photography light)
This cyclist apologised as she came into frame thinking she had spoilt my picture, but I was actually crouched down waiting for her because she was the picture :)! It was taken on Nine Barrow Down in the Purbecks.
Just to explain my previous picture as there seems to be some confusion as to what it is - it is the inside of a church photographed from the outside through a window.

This shot taken from Qeen Street is of the rear of the Piazza Shopping Centre, I believe this will be demolished as part of the Cultural Heart of The Huddersfield Blueprint.

Here also is a short video from Kirklees Council showing a fly through The Cultural Heart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANGWW2qj-9E
This time, the pics are taken wearing a leotard.
I took pics with a different expression than usual.😊
I hope you like them.😘
I found this old antique lock and it was closed. I bought a handful of antique keys at a local hardware shop, and to my utter surprise and delight - one of them fit the lock and opened it!!! Can you guess which key it was?
So today I remember why I liked Winter so much,
OVERCAST DAYS,
they are the best,
I love them,
oh so much.
When I took this my neighbor was staring at me,
awkward.
Happy Easter!
EDIT:
I now have 1000 views !
:D Thank you everyone who has viewed my photostream!
This video is also from a little while ago...not sure if I posted it? This one better quality anyway :-)

This is actually a the top view of a corner lamp. Luckily I was tall enough to get a peak from above. From there it looked mysterious.....like the inside of a hypothetical warp drive in space and the balls of light are space crafts carrying people from one corner of the universe to the other. That's when I took the shot.
Hey guys, just bringing you our newest camo pieces from Will. The desert camo has been a breakaway hit for us. We had only done a few in the white desert camo in earlier batches and those sold out very quickly so Will printed us up the M16 and variants in white desert. Also we got a tan desert ARC to fill out the original line. . -JD
This week, Cascade Bridge crews began the process of placing the first of four bridge girders along SR 116 on Marrowstone Island at Kilisut Harbor for improved fish passage. Traffic was stopped briefly for crews to place the girders and then cleared out.
This Yellowstone bull elk bugles as he warns off a couple of near by spikes. This is not a huge bull, but he has a large harem and at the last of the rut he looks like he has certainly had a few scraps with other bulls as several of his antler tines are broken off.
This was another shot from the day me and my buddy Jon went searching for a certain shot. While we did manage to find a couple vantage points we weren't satisfied and needed to get higher up!
More to come.....
This is one of my older designs that I just rendered in Studio 2.0. My aim was to build a spaceship entirely from elements available in the late 1980s Blacktron era, but in a different style from the official sets that were available during that time. This kind of approach - without modern curved pieces - works for Blacktron because the angular and jagged appearance makes all their spacecraft look appropriately menacing (notwithstanding the adorable surface rover that the spaceman can deploy upon landing).
This photo was taken near the corner of Barrow and Hudson Street in Greenwich Village.
***************
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 vanything, 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.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

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 ...
The Freeze, Tokyo 2008. I think these are the same guys who originally started this phenomenon when they froze at Grand Central Station, NY. Now it's Tokyo's turn, albeit, not as large a group as was in New York. These two broke free of the main group. You can watch the official video here.

This photo (from last summer's archives) fits the weather we are having today.
Today's high is supposed to be around 60F (15.5C) but for the next few days highs of 27F (-3C) are predicted with possible snow. Thanks for that goes out to all my west-coast-Canadian friends!

this cat who kept him/herself very clean was very friendly. He hung around as long as people were around.
This colorful thermal area sitting on the shore of Yellowstone Lake is associated with, and just north of, the near-by West Thumb Geyser Basin, but it is not open to visitation. Lake Shore has at least six named geysers, though we didn't see an eruption over the 20 minutes or so we enjoyed the view from a pullout along the main road.
The beautiful view across the lake is of the Absaroka mountains.
Whilst on holiday my eldest son would sit halfway up the stairs watching the tv through stair spindles, and out would pop one of his legs - boys such funny creatures!
This Week was the last week of the firework championships that are held at Blackpool so we went along with the camera's again.
The Results have now been announced and the WINNERS ARE..........Foti International, Australian Team.
This is one of the 44 cars that I've owned since 1974. Most of the early ones were Renaults such as this one.
A curious fact about this car was it was an early turbocharged Renault and after driving it it was necessary to leave the engine idling for a whole minute before switching off, otherwise the hot turbo would "cook" the lubricating oil causing damage.

The photo was taken on the disused airfield at East Fortune near Edinburgh, Scotland.
This is an image from my collection. Although predominantly slide scans, it includes other forms of media as well. All have been collected over the past 40+ years of shooting Kodachrome and digital images, slide purchases and many years of exchanging. I was fortunate enough to trade with some of the best airliner photographers around the world.
Created in 2017, this is a curated archive that serves to share what otherwise would be kept in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.

This is the 14th Volvo V60 from the Netherlands i have spotted overall. No wonder, given how popular these cars are in the Netherlands, and for good reason, they're great in my opinion. This one was first registered in December 2015 and is currently on its first owner.

This view of a GM Buses Northern Counties Renault has a distinctly french feel as next to it is a not so common any more classic nippy Peugeot 205 which was so popular with youngsters. There's a VW going to other way but I think that white car is also a Frenchee. Also something we often forget now that they are the main mode of transport in many poor Asian Countries and that is the humble moped scooter which was once so cool for the right people and almost a ubiquitous part of a carefree life in Paris and Rome but don't tell this guy as it was a lot more sexy before the mass car age in the 50's and 6O's.
This 4VEP is at the head of an 8-car train taking the Richmond line at Barnes Junction. It is working a London Waterloo to Guildford via Camberley service.
This is the sink in the painting room in my studio. It is beyond just a dripping faucet, it is a steady stream. Plus there is a crazy amount of paint crusted on everything. My studio is such an excellent place, haha.
