Some Recent Stuff

These are some pictures I've taken recently. I have got a little into taking pictures in colour negative.

I've also got into manipulating pictures with a photo editor and these are some I've done (with apologies to the original subjects 😃😃😃)

One last colour negative photo of our cat George

Transports Of Delight ....... or maybe not all of them but some.

I thought I would post some pictures of different modes of transport, most of which I have taken, some might not be mine, I can't remember, but hopefully I won't be infringing any copyrights or whatever. Anyway, here they are.


Starting off with some motorsickles

 This is a picture of my bruvver Bob's bike from many moons ago.

 More Triumphs, which have long been my favourite bikes, from the community show in Ceder Park, Romford.

 A Triumph again, this time outside the dealership in Romford.

 Another picture of the Triumphs outside the dealership in Romford.

 Another Triumph that was parked outside Queens Hospital in Romford.

 Not sure exactly what this bike is, it was parked outside the Ace Cafe tent at the first High Voltage festival in Victoria Park, Hackney.

This is one I found on the internet somewhere but that I really like, would love to have one of these.

 I have no idea exactly why I took this picture of a "Black" cab in London but I did.

 My sister and brother-in-law's car outside our old house.

 A car in the rain, viewed from inside a caravan.

A Mini on a wall outside a shop in Westfield in Stratford.

 The Red Arrows doing a fly over in central London.

 The hovercrafts in the Isle Of Wight port.

 Rebuilt Steam Train on the Isle Of Wight.

 Another picture of the Steam Train on the Isle Of Wight.

 The Royal barge parked up in the Olympic Park in Stratford.

Again, this is one that I found on the internet, a Steam Tank. I'd love to have a go on this.

 Due to the LB's interest the last lot of pictures are buses, these are some on the Isle Of Wight.

 The 189 bus in London, taken on one of our many bus trips.

 The 38 to Clapton Pond, the first of the new Route Master buses that me and the LB traveled on when we were on one of our bus trips.

This is one I found on the internet of a 221 on Mill Hill Broadway, one of my childhood haunts.

Well, that's all for this post. Next time maybe some bands or something, we'll see.

Me, myself and I, plus some other people.

I thought I'd be a bit egocentric this time around and put some pictures of myself through the years, some on my own and some with other people, so here goes.
