40 years ago when I was young and agile, and tourist attractions were
not surrounded by safety fencing.

For a millennium ships came to grieve on these rocks surrounding the
south west tip of England.

The light houses are a kilometre out to sea from here.

As the sun sinks slowly in the west and the waves ripple gently to the shore the romance of a Pacific Island floods the senses. This is the west coast of O’ahu, Hawaii and the Hawaiian feast and hula show is about to begin.

Odessa 1979, it was part of the USSR when we were there, it is now the Ukraine. Australians love the beach and are generally spoilt by balmy warm to hot days to enjoy the water. Other parts of the world are not so lucky.

4 28am, in the gloom before dawn, the first of the Australians who were to become known as the ANZACs, landed on Ari Burnu, now known as Anzac Cove, on 25 April 1915. Within a week 2,000 would be dead, within 8 months 8,141 would be dead and another 26,111 would be wounded. This was Gallipoli.

Below the barren landscape of central Morocco lies an amazing oasis, proving water is the source of life. This photo was taken in 1979 so there may be some changes in more recent times.

At 14,110 feet on Pikes Peek – the most challenging road I have even driven – no guard rail and 5,000 feet down.

The first land speed record set on these salt flats was in 1914 at 142.8mph.

That record now sits at 763.035mph – jet thrust driven.

This is the current wheel driven record holder at 458.440 mph-
a mile in 7.85 seconds. One pass was at over 470 mph

In May 1953 a Triumph TR2 achieved 124.9 mph
on the Jabbeke Highway in Belgium
This TR2 was trying to emulate that success in Belgium.
Driven by Mike McGee it finally achieved 115.482

The Suisse have become very good at developing railways that will climb the face of a mountain using a rack and cog system.

Elvis has left the building.

Down 8 flights of stairs the mop tops started their careers that would redefine modern music .

I will bring my bike over one day!!!

It is not near the eyesore that I thought it would be.

Big Boy loco 4004, one of the 25 the largest ever constructed

The most well known viewpoint at the Grand Canyon.

Would be outstanding in winter.
