A photo you took, today

I know that photo. It's a beauty. And to think that the great early C20th expedition photographers like Ponting, and Frank Hurley, used plate cameras, heavy large format kit and hand-crank movie cameras on heavy tripods to capture stunning images at down to minus 50 degrees. And then processed and developed the film themselves in a freezing hut! An amazing achievement.

The book ‘Endurance‘ about Shackleton's Incredible Voyage is a story that everybody should read.

Anyhoo back to the subject matter.

I enjoyed this cheeky little trail on my way home tonight....

And you didn't have to slay an elephant seal or boil up a skua once. Heroic riding.

I recently posted a photo of my Hornet uncleaned after 173000miles. Here's proof a good coating of oil and sh*t will preserve you stuff.
Removed this weekend to replace two header gaskets the pipes have come up proper minty !
