Just for something different, from our 2010 Las Vegas trip showing the stresses put on drag racing tyres.

Normal looking tyres.

Launch, wheel is trying to turn faster than the tyre, tyre is bolted to wheel to prevent this.

Full speed, tyres aren't always round!

Must admit I knew nothing about the Nek Chand Gardens (Chandigarh) before we visited in 2013







"One day in the early 1960s, Nek Chand, a humble transport official in the north Indian city of Chandigarh, began to clear a little patch of jungle to make himself a small garden area. He set stones around the little clearing and before long had sculpted a few figures recycled from materials he found at hand. Gradually Nek Chand's creation developed and grew; before long it covered several acres and comprised of hundreds of sculptures set in a series of interlinking courtyards. After his normal working day Chand worked at night, in total secrecy for fear of being discovered by the authorities. When they did discover Chand's garden, local government officials were thrown into turmoil. The creation was completely illegal - a development in a forbidden area which by rights should be demolished. The outcome, however, was the enlightened decision to give Nek Chand a salary so that he could concentrate full-time on his work, plus a workforce of fifty labourers. Nek Chand's great work received immediate recognition and was inaugurated as The Rock Garden of Chandigarh.
Now over twenty five acres of several thousand sculptures set in large mosaic courtyards linked by walled paths and deep gorges, Nek Chand's creation also combines huge buildings with a series of interlinking waterfalls. The Rock Garden is now acknowledged as one of the modern wonders of the world. Over 5000 visitors each day, some 12 million people so far, walk around this vast creation - the greatest artistic achievement seen in India since the Taj Mahal. "

I had an excellent lunch at Whistlers and I think if you came a bit earlier - 12 instead of 12.30 it was even cheaper (so of course we did)
Oh and thanks for continuing.

Yes, as one does. “We always try to have lunch at Whistler when we are in London.”
Just brilliant wine list at very reasonable prices for London and eclectic british food. I used to love wondering through the Turners after a few good glasses or bottles! Maybe again one day.
