Bodie, CA. June 2015
.
I had some good and scary times in this little town named Bodie.
Pleasant walks in its desert streets made of dust.
Quiet moment feeling the warm air from the meadows around.
I really love this place. I mean really. But also, I have some mixed feelings about this place.
I shivered too in the streets of this nowhere town, thinking about the death blow that haunts this place... Or I'd rather say, The madness who crawls like a disease through the building of this old city.
From one day to another they came and they left for one thing gold...
Fools gold..
So many different names for it today...
But a same effect.
The one that turns masses into blind sheeps, the one that beats down the need for the celebration of the vain want.
They didn't know what they want but they knew how to get it.
Windows like mirrors...
But you don't see who you are.
Windows like screen..
BUt you won't see the truth.
Just ghosts on the both side of the same world...
Poor Bodie, Even your Curse sounds too material...
When you don't believe in Gold.
Anyway I love you Bodie...

I was flipping through some photos from a trip to Bordeaux last year and this distorted window reflection seemed to be looking at me!!
The wind kicked up the dust this afternoon before the storm. When the rain finally fell, it literally rained mud. I probably didn't do the dirty windows the justice they deserve. Time to wash the windows but I guess I'll wait for the SNOW to stop falling.

I got a chance to explore the University Club in Detroit this morning, and my favorite part from the outside also turned out to be my favorite part from the inside; the leaded glass windows which are surprisingly largely intact.
This is the bay at the East end of the building, with a little replication just for fun.
Week 2. 52 Weeks of Detroit.
At last - here we have the truly original (and definitely one-off) tri-axle Plaxton Elite !
In the beginning, it was a quite normal two-axle coach, delivered new to London operator Best & Sons, but as VUR 228J. There are pictures of it out there operating as that from July 1971, but in October 1971 it re-appeared as VUR 228K - make of that what you will ! Two years later, it moved north to Bolton, with Richard Shiel's operation Rick's Coaches, which morphed into Bolton Coachways in 1976. It passed to Ayton's of Nantwich in 1981, who sold it in 1985, when its PSV days ended, and it was acquired by stock-car racer Wayne Handley in Enderby, Leics., for conversion to what you see here.
It looks like a cross between a Plaxton Elite and an Irizar Urko, with the split-level roof line, but raising the roof was necessary, not to accommodate the stock-car, but to accommodate the engine, as Wayne ditched the AEC 760 in favour of a 14-litre Cummins truck engine, and had to raise the floor to enable it to fit - these racers know how to pimp up their transporters as well ! Obviously, doing a "cut-and-shut" operation on a Plaxton body of this age, and one whose rear end would be sagging anyway, meant that the third axle for extra support was crucial. I don't know what the overall length of the coach was after the conversion, but a bit more than 12 metres, I'm sure.
I caught up with it here at a meeting at High Edge raceway near Buxton in May 1992. My notes from the day show that the number of Reliances attending was still in double figures, even then !

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” ~ Dale Carnegie
Another from our fall trip to the Tetons...this was taken inside the old historic Cunningham cabin....how glorious it must have been to wake up to this sight every morning :-)
Have a great Wednesday....many thanks for all your visits!!!!
Wish I could remember where I found this half finished house. It might be near enough to go back to see it finished.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
