En 1911, Sykes sculpta la célèbre statuette, une variation du « The Whisper ». Elle devait inspirer « l'esprit de la Rolls-Royce, précisément : la vitesse et le silence, l'absence de vibrations, une grande puissance mystérieusement couplée avec un bel organisme vivant d'une grâce superbe…».
La statuette, proposée en option jusqu'au début des années 1920 avant de devenir un élément « standard », était plaquée d'argent jusqu'en 1914. Elle sera ensuite faite d'acier inoxydable, mais on peut néanmoins la commander en argent ou même en or. De nombreuses variations ont existé, il y a même eu une Spirit of Ecstasy agenouillée. De nombreuses copies sont également en circulation.
This is what happens when I can't put a build down. I tinker with it far too much. Time to put this away.
I do feel this one might be the most R-Type-y of all, though.
As I was driving down into Yosemite Valley in the middle of the night, I decided to pull over for a long exposure of the valley and the night sky. I definitely could not see anything in the valley as it was almost pitch black out there. My camera was able to see much more apparently.
Candid visions of lives in motion,
Smoke engulfed mirrors, they make the decisions,
Reaching for glory with mistakes and omissions,
I know where you will be,
And we will march for rendition.

Narrow (narrow in the hundreds of kilometres wide sense of narrow) whisps of Aurora Borealis slowly wave across the night sky behind a lone cabin. Photographed on Cassidy Point, outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.

When the moon was full...Jet casted a tiny spell for all the gnomes to make their magical Spellbound Black hats! Hallow's Eve will soon be near she thought! The darkest of black, deep as the heart of night, with a whisp of lavendar hues softly reflect the silver ray of the moonlight's beam. These hats are sure to delight!

I like that the SDCC character gets to reappear in the I Heart Fashion line a year later, but I find this Whisp to be pretty weak in comparison to past IHF ghouls...the fit of her other outfits look gross in the package. :/
Sometimes our heads get overloaded with daydreams and our imagination goes too far. Or is there such a thing as too far? Sky's the limit.
“Whisp,” sighed Spectre, “why are you hiding behind a Buddha?”
“Cause a I went to a hootenanny last night,” replied Whisp.
“I see,” said Spectre, “what’s that? Like a knees up for owls?”
“That’s what I thought it was,” moaned Whisp, “turns it’s a pensioners strip club…”

So i spent a few hours at the lovely village of bubbenhall on Tuesday evening as the skies were relatively clear decided a trail was in order over their village church, I did have one or two whisps of cloud which caused some bother, you can still see the odd bit which i have missed during processing in the final image, setting for this was ISO 3200 F4 (although i did mean to stop down to 5.6) and im certain i did although my exif states otherwise (and it never lies) and a total of 214 stacked 15 second exposures
White Cosmos bloom from my garden, a variety called Psycho which has extra petals and resembles a daisy.
This is a lullaby I learned in a college music class:
"Fold your white wings, dear Angels, Fold your white wings;
Dew falls and nightingale softly now sings.
Across the lawn lie shadows, so still, so deep,
Dear loving Angels, pass not by, Hush me to sleep.
Night falls, and whisp'ring goes the wind Along the sea;
Fold your white wings, dear Angels, Fold them, dear Angels,
Fold them round me.'
-Evensong, Liza Lehmann

I took this shot on a family day trip to Barmouth. I must have taken about 100 shots to get this one, but I'm pleased with the end result so think it was worth it.
This past weekend I went on a small excursion to my buddy's cabin, about 120k outside of Hay River, NT. We took a walk down to the water and watched the aurora for a little while. While they weren't as bright as some nights, the near-full moon really lit up the rocky bank to add a little scenery to the skies above.
Geschichte von "Emily":
"Am 6. Februar 1911 wurde die erste Ausführung auf einen Rolls-Royce montiert. Es war zugleich die erste aus Metall gegossene Figur, die in England serienmäßig einer Automarke mitgegeben wurde. Geistiges Vorbild mag eine Statue der Göttin Nike von Samothrake gewesen sein. Die Figur zeigt eine Frau mit einem im Wind wehenden Kleid (und nicht – wie gelegentlich angenommen - eine Frau mit Flügeln). Schöpfer der ersten Figur war der Bildhauer Charles Robert Sykes. Als Modell stand ihm Eleanor Thornton, die Sekretärin und Geliebte des britischen Adligen John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. Irrtümlicherweise wird die Rolls-Royce-Kühlerfigur heute mitunter „Emily“ genannt.
Auf Wunsch des Lord Montagu gestaltete Charles Sykes für dessen privaten Rolls-Royce eine Kühlerfigur, die der Künstler The Whisper („Das Flüstern“) nannte. Die Idee des Lords wurde populär und setzte sich durch. Lord Montagu vermittelte daraufhin Sykes den Auftrag von Rolls-Royce, eine Kühlerfigur zu gestalten. Wiederum stand Eleanor Thornton dafür Modell, und dementsprechend ähnelte das Ergebnis The Whisper sehr. Ursprünglich sollte die Figur Spirit of Speed („Geist der Geschwindigkeit“) heißen, aber dieser Name erschien Rolls-Royce als unenglische Prahlerei. Daher nannte man die Kühlerfigur Spirit of Ecstasy („Geist der Verzückung“).
Henry Royce selbst mochte Kühlerfiguren nicht. Sie waren in seinen Augen modischer Schnick-Schnack, der die Linien seiner Autos störte. Der Auftrag zur Gestaltung war vergeben worden, als er krankheitshalber nicht in der Firma war. An seinem persönlichen Rolls-Royce war normalerweise keine Kühlerfigur montiert". [Wikipedia]
