Crossley 25/30

01 Jan 1988 51
Travel in style! I dug this out from a box of prints while I was looking for something else. Thought I'd donate the photo as an illustration to the Wikimedia Commons, but I couldn't work out exactly which model of Crossley this is. (The registration is no longer listed with the DVLA online, sadly, so that was no help.) Update: thanks to Malcolm Asquith of the Crossley Register, I now know that this is a 25/30 model from 1920. It wasn't destroyed (as the absence from the DVLA records threatened) but went off to enjoy its retirement in Ireland.

She thinks ahead, does the Norwegian.

Blurry (thanks to the tube train moving) but I love it. Doesn't the lad look young!? ;-)

Morning beading

26 Oct 2007 117
The (fabric) roof of my car has been doing fascinating things since I treated it with some waterproofing polymer spray. The rain beads on it when it falls, which is pretty in itself. But in the mornings at the moment, the dew is very close to freezing, and the visual effect is something I've never quite seen the like of before.

Colliding scope

A giant kaleidoscope in the cute "My space" display downstairs at the National Portrait Gallery in London. I didn't centre the camera in the kaleidoscope's window, because I wanted to still have a reflection of my face — hence the odd angle. Can you spot me? How many times? ;)

Differences

IrfanView's "enhance colours" tools now work on selected areas, and I've done something very unlike-me, in using it to pick out the juxtaposition here in the National Portrait Gallery's café. The photo, otherwise, was too bland to feel the way I'd wanted it to.

Tower?

The last few days have been so grey, you can barely tell which is canal and which is sky...

Turning point

1908

I liked the massiveness of the date, in beautiful early 20th Century lettering on what looks like the top of a drainpipe.

Powerful

Full of power, that is.

Mass grave

This made me stop in my tracks. 3000!

Random bit of old London

In a very grand portico belonging to a fairly modest-sized house (or so it appears to be), behind some large but not delicate gates, currently mostly concealed behind a tarpaulin. What?

Tin soldiers

Uploading some oldies as I do some archiving. This is some of Company:Collisions , for which I was / sometimes am Stage Manager, rehearsing for our open-air production of Hans Christian Andersen's The Tin Soldier , adapted to pertain to Iraq, and performed as part of The Streets of Brighton festival in 2003. With the help of Alan and the gang from ACA Scaffolding, we erected the entire theatre in the grounds of St. Peter's Church in the middle of Brighton. And I got to play with some excellent green fire thanks to the pyrotechnics involved! :)

Penny & Jim at Scotney

Uploading some oldies as I do some archiving. This is in the grounds of the delightful part-ruin, part-folly Scotney Castle, near where Penny & Jim used to live (by Goudhurst, Kent). I thiiiink the outing was partly to celebrate (and "test drive") Aid Convoy 's new Land Rover Discovery. :)
