Happy New Year to you. Good shots. The guy embracing the young lady looks like an actor from the past.
The two young ladies make me yearn to be young again.![]()
The guy in the last photo somehow reminds me of you in your site photo, my wife say no.

And a Happy New Year to you, WarRI1, and your good wife!
Have to say, I agree with her on the last pic, but I'm not complaining, given that he must be 20+ years younger!
I put other guy's pic into Google image search, and it threw up Patrick Swayze, Clint Eastwood

Once again thanks for the pictures. Is that an Incinerator in the photo of the smoke stacks? A most unusual building attached. I like the solar powered light.

Well spotted WarRI1, your eagle-eye hasn't deserted you . . . and the building is all part of the complex. It must have been working at peak capacity that day as I had never seen so much steam emanating from it, which is what caught my eye. And it contrasted nicely with the dark smoke in the background, which was emanating from a recycling depot in the distance which was on fire.

You know I had never, ever, noticed that before, but now that you point it out it's quite obvious . . .

The grid picture almost looks like iron or steel rails and must be very old and deteriorated from salt water by the condition. I wonder what they were used for? They almost look like a type of shipway for boats.

I have to confess my knowlege of WWII is very sketchy, so knew nothing of the Dieppe Raid. Thanks for that! Funnily enough, I did notice Canadian flags in various places around the town, so there's obviously a strong connection there still, which is nice.

The photo with the new and old architecture contrast, wondering where that is...
WarRI1 wrote:Braybuddy. I do not know how I missed this set of pictures. I am curious as to the make of the auto in the pictures. The large hood badge looks similar to the Cadillac badge from US. The grill has similarities to a model of Cadillac and Lincoln way back.

I noticed in picture 4, the girl at the wall also appears in picture 12..

And all the better for it too! Such a beautiful and stylish looking vehicle, and one I'd never come across before. It's a pity it's not in better condition, but it still looks magnificent.WarRI1 wrote:How long was the flight to Australia by the way?
Longer than expected! The Beast from the East brought the country to a standstill with snow, and we were flying out the morning it arrived, so with delays we missed our connection in Abu Dhabi. What should have been a 22-hour journey actually took 31. But we were lucky, had we booked to fly a day or more later the delays would have been much worse. We're not great at dealing with snow here . . .
