The Very Strange Chicken
Now, I know I’ve photographed some very strange chickens in my time but this really has to be the strangest…
PS…for the public good, some software programmes should be left well alone (i.e. Symmetry).

I can’t help thinking we don’t get enough moments in life like this…
How we used to browse before the Internet came along…
I’m not talking about Boris Johnson here. Here’s somebody with so much more and better to offer. For educators and trainers (I is one). Character Animator is such a gift.
Good to hear the next Wes Anderson film is due out this year. We have to wait until August though (in the UK at least). Wes Anderson – perhaps one of the greatest film makers ever…
They get just everywhere!
It’s a very windy day today here in Banff. Not a good day to be at sea! Storm Ciara certainly huffing and puffing…
We saw a new type of chicken today whilst we were walking the dog on the beach. We know it is a chicken but we’re wondering what kind of chicken it is…
Only the Brits could make a jet aircraft using wood (see image below). In these days of carbon fibre, I feel wood is much underrated as a building material. Bring back wood (and a few more trees). Don’t you just love the touch, smell and feel of wood?
The jet aircraft, by the way, is a de Havilland Vampire. The one in the image was being restored at the RAF Museum in Cosford, a few years ago.
Do they still do cakewalks? And why do they call them cakewalks?
In today’s plastic and electronic world, we often seem to lose sight of how important engineering skills are to us. And, we especially lose sight of how important solid engineering training is. We certainly don’t always seem to make things like we used to. Perhaps it is because our politicians mostly read PPE at Oxford or are former lawyers. They wouldn’t know a spanner if it hit them on the head! That leads me to ask the question…what exactly are our politicians good for? Answer (as in the song): ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The radiator grille must have been inspired by honeycomb made by bees?
One of the very brave and highly inspirational women who, during World War 2, flew newly built aircraft from the factories to airfields around the UK. They flew without radios or any armaments. They flew many types of different aircraft with minimal training. Exceptional pilots.
