One of the best Flickr contacts you will ever have! A gentleman! After every comment, if he leaves one, he say's "thanks", because you allowed him to view your work.
How about that!? On Flickr?
I'm just off a plane. I had no intention of posting tonight - I will not view or comment, I'm going to bed - - BUT I opened Flickr, and there was his comment, on a crappy pic, and a comment as honest and as cheeky as ever, but it makes you feel glad you posted.
Another friend is having a low. I had drinks with him a while back. and went to the toilet in his local bar after a few beers. This photo was taken from it.
And I thought . . holy crap, he is not going round the best of establishments. He could not even afford to go round the normal of establishments.
I took the photo. The feet are mine, the yellow bucket seems to have been a metaphor for how I hoped his life would change; future sunshine. I helped how I could. We'll see what happens.
Back to Trader Doc. No easy lead-ins here - find him yourself, make the effort, and find a friend. He's from the school of hard knocks as most of us are, he respects no fools, but he respects everyone.
AND - he has nothing to do with this image - except, I know he is a friend when I might be down. We all need honest "trader's".

I didn't get pictures of this, but the train at the front of the float was able to rise 35 feet into the air.
At the border town of Ollague, one of the first persons travellers encounter as they enter Chile from Bolivia is this young lady and her fast-food stall selling soft drinks and deep fried pastry things that promised more than they delivered.
On the day of my visit, it seemed she’d turned up for work in her underwear. She was quite keen to be photographed and I should have stuck with the full frontal approach, but wanted to include the FCAB locos shunting back and forth.
So here we are, squashed up in a hot tin hut under the desert sun, testing (and failing) with my very rudimentary Spanish, and with my reputation fast disappearing down the track along with the locos.

The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. At one end, the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago. Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.

The Ca' da Mosto is a thirteenth-century palace in Venice, northern Italy, the oldest building on the Grand Canal. It is in the Veneto-Byzantine style, with high narrow arches and distinctive capitals. The features of the palace show its beginnings as a casa-fondaco, the home and workplace of its original merchant owner. A second floor was added at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a third in the nineteenth. The palace takes its name from the Venetian explorer Alvise da Ca' da Mosto, who was born in the palace in 1432. It stayed in the da Mosto family until 1603, when Chiara da Mosto left her entire estate to Leonardo Donà dalle Rose, a nephew of her second husband, rather than her da Mosto relatives, with whom she had fallen out. Between the 16th and the 18th centuries the Ca' da Mosto housed the well-known Albergo Leon Bianco (the White Lion Hotel). In 1769 and 1775 the Holy Roman Emperor and son of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, lived here during his stay in Venice.

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli di Cristo (English: Church of the Holy Apostles of Christ), commonly called San Apostoli, is a 7th-century Roman Catholic church located in the Cannaregio sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It is one of the oldest churches in the city and has undergone numerous changes since its foundation. The present building is the result of a major reconstruction project which was undertaken in 1575. The church is notable particularly for the Cornaro Chapel, an important example of Early Renaissance architecture, added by Mauro Codussi during the 1490s. The chapel is the burial place of several members of the powerful Cornaro family, including Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus. The church houses several works of art including pieces by Giambattista Tiepolo and Paolo Veronese.

Palazzo dei Camerlenghi is a Renaissance palace in Venice, northern Italy, located in the sestiere (quarter) of San Polo. It faces the Canal Grande, near the Rialto Bridge. The palace was built from 1525 to 1528 under design by Guglielmo dei Grigi, who was inspired by the style of Mauro Codussi and Pietro Lombardo. It was the seat of several financial magistrates, including the Camerlenghi whom it takes its name from, the Consuls of the Traders and the Supra-Consuls of the Traders. Due to this function, the lower floor was used as a jail for the insolvents: the location nearby the crowded Rialto Bridge served as an admonition for the people passing there. The palace currently houses the regional seat of the Italian Comptroller and Auditor General. The palace has a pentagonal plan which follows the shore of the Canal Grande, with three floors. It has tall windows with centrings, divided by false columns and decorated with friezes. There were once polyhcrome marble and porphyry slabs, now lost. Due to the Venetian tradition that, when leaving the position, a magistrate would leave a religious-themed painting and a portrait in his former seat, the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi housed numerous artworks. These were dispersed during the French occupation; some returned to Venice, but are now in other locations.
Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.
All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.
- Well, Admiral Motti... I must say I'm pleased, considering you opened your account today and managed to collect all white Imperial cards within one hour.
- Thank you, my Lord! I was trading away all rebel cards to achieve this as soon as possible!
- Good.

Not too sure about this one myself, but hey... I'm always looking to mix things up with different styles... :)

Sibsey Trader Windmill was built in 1877 to replace an earlier post mill. In its day it was the ‘Rolls Royce’ of windmills, and one of the very last to be built in Lincolnshire. It has been described as “one of the finest mills in the country, with its slender tower and elaborate wrought iron balcony.”
It is one of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England. The mill was built in 1877 by local millwrights Saundersons of Louth, in a typical Lincolnshire style, to replace a small post mill. It is not exceptionally tall, containing only six floors above ground, and the height to the top of the cap is 74 feet 3 inches. The slenderness of the tower, and the flat landscape in which it stands, together create the impression that it is bigger than it actually is, and make the sails, already admittedly large, look enormous.
The first mill on the site, a post mill, was replaced in 1877 by the present six sailed tower mill. The tower mill was built by Saundersons of Louth, a firm of millwrights notable for their fine six sailed mills.
After the First World War, the mill was taken over by Tommy Ward, who ran the mill until his death in 1953. For most of his tenure at the mill, Tommy concentrated on producing animal feed as there was no profit in producing flour. An attempt to keep the business going failed two years later and the mill ceased to work. By then it had only four sails.
In the 1960’s it was earmarked by the then Ministry of Works as one of twelve windmills of national importance. In the early seventies, it and two other mills on the list were taken into the care of the Department of the Environment (successor to the Ministry of Works) and later that decade the restoration began.
Sibsey Trader Windmill is currently under the care of the English Heritage although the site is independently managed and run by Ian Ansell.
