There is something about Susan Boyle that really endears me to her. I really love her voice. I have her album and it's beautiful. I highly recommend it.

Can`t wait for the pictures from your trip!

I didn`t know much about her before because in Hungary very few people know her I read an article about her about a year ago but from now it will change

I'll try to make them work tomorrow.

Haha, neither do I to be honest. I just remember that line from the movie Hot Fuzz.

Nice pics Claev, I like the close ups. The details revealed are fantastic.

Back to the aircraft, perhaps? My last batch was exclusively about SAAB aircraft, but there is more, of course:

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...w/IMG_4832.jpg
Hawker Hunter. An early jet, and a really beautiful aircraft.

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...w/IMG_4838.jpg
Spitfire PR Mk XIX. Popular among the pilots, as it was able to give the early jets a run for their money.
Interesting fact: The prop is in fact wooden! The reason was that the contraption was rather front heavy and tended to chew tarmac if brakes
were applied too heavily. The wooden prop bashed its tips off instead of ruining the engine when that happened.

Your pictures are amazing Claes, as usual but the first series those close-ups with raspberry and unknown flowers just are marvelous!

Excellent pictures Claes. Those old planes were beautiful.

Wonderful additions, everyone! :banana:

Oh yeas we do, we do!

We went to the Lake District for our summer holiday this year. We stayed in the village of Near Sawrey a couple of miles from Hawkeshead (where Wordsworth went to school) and Lake Windermere .

The cottage we stayed in (Anvil Cottage)

This cottage is opposite 'Hilltop Farm' where Beatrix Potter lived. The entrance to Anvil Cottage appeared on Potter's book 'The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan' (1905):
