Transportation
Rumors abound. And now there are pictures. The US Gran Prix circuit in Austin TX.
A 1943 WLC (that’s a Harley-Davidson) has been sitting since 1950 waiting for some guy’s grandson. Now it’s out of the basement in the hands of James of Jamesville Customs. Hopefully for a straight forward minimal restoration. It’s so lovely just the way it is.
Yeah, really. Where is the CB1100? Now that’s a perfectly plain bike that I’d give house space.
Two dashing fellows and a trailer of bikes. Jack and Frank Chiswell raced speedways in Britain in the 1930’s. Googling will get you bits and pieces of their history.
Food
We all know it’s all about the drawings on They Draw, They Cook. Two nicely illustrated recipes for fall dishes. Lentils and sausage by Jonathan Hawker… and a mushroom and pea risotto by Weef.
Art, Images, and Design
Clichéd peasant girls. Hungarian painter Oszkar Glatz depicts idealized youngsters. His palette is wonderful.
Movable architecture, ritual buildings, and camping. From Saudi Aramco World, an essay on the tent cities of Central Asia. Most of the images are clickable for larger views.
I pointed you all to Maleonn’s circus-themed, fairytale images about a year ago. There’s another fine set of surreal photographs called Second Hand Tang Poem, reviewed by Wurzeltod. Also available in larger size in a flash gallery:
Animation
A little music to enhance your day. Make a Blues Song. A perfect use of Flash to drive a little browser-based app. Compose a blues song and hear it played just for you (or share your creation.)
until tomorrow then my dears,
