That's really nice stuff, Mike; I particularly like the strength and simplicity of the tree in Lake Reflection. Pushing cellphones even further than I'd imagined possible! Great!

P.S. Were I able ever to see anything on mine before shooting, I'd definitely try to rip you off! ;-) or ;-(

Yesterday provided some small surprises, one of which was the sight of a Lamborghini covered in mud, driving slowly in front of me through the streets of Pollença. Try as I might, I couldn't pass the damned thing; so wide and so slow.

Funny how Lamborghini chose to name their car after a cow bull that was named after a bat; there's more to Latino than meets the eye. Anyway, here's my version.

Oh, the one I couldn't pass? A tractor.

Thanks, folks.

Doing my compulsory, postprandial walk the other day, my mind wandered ahead of me into the asteroid belt. Didn't much like what I saw there. Almost gave me indigestion, but that was because I'd segued into Major Tom.

Just as well I had my handy communicator with me.

Interstellar reach with a phone-cam is impressive Rob.

I worked with a more earth-bound stellar body on Saturday:

Yes, it's amazing what technology can do nowadays! Yet, somehow, I think I'd rather spend time with you on planet Earth; your heavenly bodies are sort of more, well, heavenly?

Wish I could apostrophize in PS, but until I can, have to do with long, lugubrious tiles.

But Walt's Wheels still shine!

From Walter's Wheels to exotic wheels.

More visual grief from walking the walk but not singing in tune nor being in step. Life is a tragedy; a comedy with a terrible sting in the tail. Just like the bumblebee, then; it can't even drive a little XKE, as the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean would have had us believe it's called. (The car, not the bumblebee.) Once, as a small, barefooted child, I did step, inadvertently, upon one such flying horror. They sting. No, let's not get into the world of Stingrays, of any type, or those Beach Boys would have to have their say again.

As I was saying, the horror of appetites beyond the size of wallets.

;-)

James Callaghan, eat your heart out.

Re: Without Prejudice - will what replaces it look better? I doubt it.

I am not sure if I have posted this right. I have put the image file as an attachment. When I click on the insert image button I just get some html in the text box rather than an invitation to upload an image file. Does this mean I have to link to an image file hosted elsewhere? And when I preview my post I don't see an image file. Advice appreciated.

Yes.

When you, alternatively, attach a file (as you did), you will not be able to see it in preview mode, but it will be displayed in the post.

Very typical urban view at this time Ken.

What locale were you shooting in?

Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia. Below and across the road and to the left of the "morrisett street" label here. The house has been like that for maybe 5 years. I used to tease my wife that it was my dream home. The fences and for sale signs went up recently.

Cheerio,





Don't think Jim has any need to eat it! At any rate, I'm sure he'd never use a cellphone to shoot his cars, and I don't think he digs distortion. ;-)

As I recall, when the original came out, it cost about 2100 quid... this one's a 4.2, so maybe it would have been a lot more in its day. They now fetch around a hundred grand or so, depending on condition and spec.

The car that I loved, within reasonable prices, was the Sunbeam Alpine, the little coupé that figures in Dr No. My wife (she would probably still have been my girlfriend in those days) and I gazed at one in a garage window for a long, long time and she hoped her Dad would buy it for her, but it never happened. Ahhhh... Discovered from the owners of that garage chain, who became close friends when we all moved to Mallorca decades later, that they bought it for themselves and that it was ruined on its frst day out on the street: the guys in the garage didn't fill the sump. Red faces. I wonder who bought a second-hand bargain? Had Ann's pop bought it, would it have fared the same way? No wonder I believe in divine providence! Another one that grabbed my fancy was the MGB GT, prior to the US bumpers that disfigured so many pretty cars. I was fortunate with my own X1/9 because I got it just before they too, had to stick on yards of ugly stuff up front. I often regret not having it here, now. Would be perfect had it been made of steel, and not recycled tin cans. Poor man's Ferrari.
