Was he working for Hipgnosis?

This was the little paragraph I came across on the Darkside of the Moon Cover

Spoiler: show

from here https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the-grap ... pink-floyd

Album artwork, Darkside of the Moon, 1973. Designed by Storm Thorgerson / Aubrey Powell at Hipgnosis

"When Thorgerson and Powell visited Abbey Road during the final sessions for the album, Richard 'Rick' Wright suggested that they break with tradition on their next cover design – Darkside of the Moon. "Rick said, 'For God's sake, let's not have another one of your surreal ideas'", recalls Powell. "He also told us how much he liked the packaging on a box of Black Magic chocolates – just black and white. He considered that a great piece of simple product design. Storm and I left the studio rather depressed". Feeling starved of inspiration, Powell leafed through a physics textbook and stopped at a drawing of a glass paperweight on a piece of sheet music, with light streaming through a window to create a rainbow effect on the paper: "Storm saw it, clicked his fingers and said, 'that's it'".

Photo taken quite recently - hence the engine driver wearing a mask...

Just carelessness Jim. Must have had the M&S Clothing Brand Blue Harbour on my mind. Nicely skitted by Armstrong and Miller here

Talking of holidays this is where I should have been, on board Galicia, Brittany Ferries' new cruise ferry, on Thursday accompanying Ken back to Spain but due to Covid I am obviously not allowed in and he has to make the trip alone with his dog in the back seat!:

It appears another 99 posts have flown by since my last celebratory car picture so it is time to post possibly my all time favourite car that I will never be able to afford. It needs no introduction but in my humble opinion no collection of celebratory cars could possibly be considered complete without this one.

Own compilation from borrowed images.

I have one of these now, Victure HC100 Wildlife Camera. Very pleased with my first little video, capturing those little winter charmers the Robin and the Blackbird! I set it to capture 20 second videos, when the camera was activated by the birds movement feeding on the bench. It can take photos, or videos or a mix of both. This is a screenshot from one of the videos.
In camera mode can shoot up to 16MP, Video 1080P. Plenty good enough for my enjoyment. It is a surprisingly good value little camera of its type.

If you need to take a rest in Stagsden

Perfect for when I took a break during my bike ride today

Millennium Seat

Below 'STAGSDEN 2000' and written vertically is the legend 'TOADS'

I've not yet worked out exactly what it means but it seems that many residents of the village are members of it...
