No - most definitely not American!

Was originally an Iconic British marque, but along with Land Rover it is now part of an Indian concern -  part of the Tata Motors conglomerate, since 2008 when it was off-loaded by Ford.

Nice grab of the Jaguar ornament, BTW.


Hi Juan. I don't know much about cars, but I think the car and the logo are authentic to the brand, probably American-made.

This is truly a beautifully captured sculpture created by the nature.

Fons, this image makes me feel kind of sea sick!  What a weird effect!

Thanks Akira, glad you like it. This picture shows the effect of what a weather report described as “Polar Vortex mayhem”. Last weekend we had sixteen inches of snow followed by unrelentingly cold temperatures, which kept the snowpack intact. It was the biggest snowfall in this part of Connecticut in ten years. Oh, did I mention we live on an approximate latitude with Barcelona and Rome?

They most certainly do look wild and dangerous!

John, what software are you using with your Coolscan 4000?

CANDILEJA. Arisarum vulgare

You've posted several close-ups over recent months Arturo
For me this is one of the best

The colour appeals to me more than your one of the issidae, and I like the waves of gentle blur alongside the small area of sharp detail
