On the Road

I’m used to seeing vintage cars, particularly really old ones like this one, at museums or possibly car shows, so I was startled when I saw this one nonchalantly pulling up at a petrol station and being filled up with normal petrol or possibly diesel. BTW: The H, the last letter on the car license plate, stands for “historic” and is reserved for vintage cars (provided they are maintained more or less like the original ) and it has advantages regarding insurance and tax purposes and I also think exemptions regarding emissions.

A Giant Curl

A typical fern, you might think. A close-up or even a macro, you might think.

It’s not so, this is an angiopteris pruinosa bootfarn – and this is not a macro. Unfortunately I couldn’t use anything for a scale in the greenhouse of the botanical garden but this farn curl about to be unfurled is as big as plate.
