For my daughter, on the anniversary of her open heart surgery. Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' became the theme song of our journey, and I wanted to pay tribute to that with this piece. The birds are a little cartoon-y, but it is for a 1 year old.
Another battered EWS class 37 - this time 37417 'Richard Trevithick', passing the site of Three Spires Goods yard in Coventry.
the 37/4 was traversing the Prologis branch from Kerseley back onto the Coventry to Nuneaton line, gaining access at Three Spires Junction, which by then was merely a single line and a crossover.
A far cry from the 1980's when the junction was busy with coal traffic from Kerseley Colliery, via Three Spires Yard. The junction featured several crossovers, including a single slip, all controlled via the charming ex L & NWR signalbox. (demolished in the 1999 after an arson attack).
For anyone interested, here is a link to the awesome "Derby Sulzers" website with some equally brilliant images showing trains at and around Three Spires Jn:

well worth a look.
My mate Rog Manton (weathering supremo) was on duty as signalman at the Portacabin that replaced the signalbox mentioned above that day. I didn't know Rog then, but its funny how people can be linked by places or events and not know each other, and you find out later that you were both there!

Car three by Roy Lichtenstein is one of the most popular of all the Art Cars; the BMW 320 Group 5. The artist had this to say on the fruit of his labours: ‘I invested as much thought and effort as possible’. Undeniably! The result of these efforts is a harmonious combination of the aerodynamics in the bodywork with the aesthetics of his art; after all it is one of the fastest moving pieces of art the world has ever seen. Lichtenstein’s famous comic strip style is reflected in the paintwork. ‘The painted lines symbolise the road the car has to follow and the artwork also portrays the surroundings through which the car is being driven’.

Born in New York in 1923, Roy Lichtenstein is generally regarded as the father of American pop art. In the years prior to 1938 he painted portraits of jazz musicians. After this, he attended courses held by the “Art Student League,” then went on to study art in Ohio.
His subsequent work straddled cubism and expressionism. In the late 1950s, Lichtenstein began dealing with trivial culture such as comics and advertisements. His first pop art pictures appeared in 1961, their monumentalization of the banal heralding a completely new style of art.
Following his caricatures of the “American Way of Life,” experiments with well-known works of art and various sculptures and films, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held a comprehensive retrospective of Lichtenstein’s work in 1987. He died in New York in 1997.

Roy Lichtenstein and his BMW Art Car
Roy Lichtenstein can still remember vividly how he produced the design for his racing car – a BMW 320i – back in 1977:
“I wanted to use painted lines as a road, pointing the way for the car. The design also shows the scenery as it passes by. Even the sky and sunlight are to be seen … you could list all the things a car experiences – the only difference is that this car mirrors all these things even before it takes to the road.”
Taking a closer look, the car’s design casts a picture of passing scenery in which both the car and its movement are one single entity. And although Lichtenstein’s comic art was already a thing of the past by then, his BMW Art Car is clearly influence by it: the long-drawn colored strips act as “speedlines” – a feature used in comics to suggest speed. Even the oversized dots used by Lichtenstein, the “Benday Dots,” are reminiscent of his famous comic book pictures.
“I thought hard and put all I had into it.”
— Roy Lichtenstein
The harmony achieved between predetermined aerodynamic features and free composition is pure Lichtenstein. It is an expression of his artistic credo: art must be an element of everyday life – its themes and inspiration must come from the lives of ordinary people.
After its completion, Roy Lichtenstein’s BMW Art Car celebrated not one, but two premieres: as a work of art at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and as a racing car in the Le Mans 24-Hour Race. It was driven by the Frenchmen Herve Poulain and Marcel Mignot. The car finished 9th overall and first in its class.

This Lego miniland scale BMW Art Car #3 - 320 Group 5 Racer (Roy Lichtenstain 1977) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 94th build challenge, - "Appease the Elves Summer Automobile Build-off (Part 2)" - a design challenge combining the resources of LUGNuts, TheLegoCarBlog (TLCB) and Head Turnerz.
This was one of the cars I had prepared for the TCLB / Head Turnerz Challenge, had built 90% of the way there in bricks, had a few parts to go that weren't in my collection, and stopped. Unfortunately, the built model is still in this state.

Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
There are three days I know I will be blue
Three days Ill dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days to end
`cause the same three days start over again
Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
- Willie Nelson, sung by k. d. lang

The three wise monkeys (Japanese: 三猿, san'en or sanzaru, or 三匹の猿, sanbiki no saru, literally "three monkeys") are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Three young Texans who think they are the Cat's Meow before the ancient term became popular. Each man has a partially smoked cigarette in his hand. The man standing on the left with cane and uniform is a cadet in the Aggie Corps of cadets at Texas A&M college (now University) his cap bears the infantry bugle and the lettering A&M. The photo was taken around 1896. August to be precise. I know that because that date is written in old ink on the reverse. All three men are identified also. I'll have to do some research!
