tiabunna's photos with the keyword: electric

I've long been interested in historic cars and this one deserves far more recognition. It is "La Jamais Contente", which in 1899 became the world's fastest road vehicle and the first to exceed 100 km/hr. It also ran on an electric motor. I saw it in the museum at Le Bourget Airport in Paris (it is now in the National Car and Tourism Museum in Compiègne). I thought ot this when I visited an electric vehicle show in Sydney (the PiP shows just a tiny corner of the large building-wide display). .

I'm not able to do much photography lately, so this is from a dip into the archives - and my first digital camera. It shows a dam on our former rural property during what became known as the "Millenium Drought" which ran from about 1998 to 2009. The very minimal fence around the dam was needed to stop cattle entering and potentially becoming bogged. It worked well, helped by 10,000V and the cattle stayed out. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone. Explored.
