interesting marks, they look almost like angels..

 

 

Teneriffe Feb 2000.jpg (130305 bytes)

An almost conventional holiday picture and just about the whole

of Tenerife in one frame, Taken on a trip in Feb '00 (see previous

Madeira pics)  This is mount aieda or is it aidea, something like that...?

Q.  If you know what the big mountain in the middle of Tenerife is called

put your answer in an e-mail to the address below....

 

muira eyelashes.jpg (106780 bytes)

One for the chaps..  This was the first ever 'supercar', the one that started

it all, The Lambourghini Miura. Imagine the impact this car must have had 

in 1965 when we were all driving around in Morris Minors.

I've taken just the headlight because it has a subtle significance, the Miura was

a very powerful and aggressive car but to 'woo' hairy-chested male buyers even 

further Marcelo Gandini (the designer.. a nutcase) put those little 'eyelashes'

on the headlights, this had a sub-conscious effect on many.

This car is really very feminine (Freud would have a field day here) with

it's beautiful curves and 'doey eyes'.  It was sub-consciously meant to be a seductive

and powerful woman who said, 'tame me if you can.. big boy'  Supercars have been

on spotty youths posters ever since...   Or I could be talking bollocks.

 

mx5-hunt.jpg (342775 bytes)

Another picture intended to provoke a reaction,  I'm driving along a tiny lane on

the North Yorkshire moors when a hunt comes the other way,  what do you do?

 

Whitby Abbey.jpg (84983 bytes)

Whitby Abbey, an interesting place if you've never been.  Careful positioning at

the time and darkening of the picture when I got home made this pic work.

 

Righty ho then....
