Why is it that motorhome manufacturers continue to foist their damned ugly examples of visual pollution, urban graffiti, environmental and ecological disasters on wheels, to the recreational vehicle consumers.
Well, possibly and at the risk of appearing rude to many, because the buyers are not very discerning, the makers don't care and consequently that's all the motorhomer can buy.
If an urban graffiti artist was to attack a static building with these sorts of artworks it would be considered an act of environmental vandalism and the perpetrator would be fined.
But the makers of these mass produced fifth wheelers, buses and vans continue to get away with presenting their ugly artworks to the world.
There is nothing environmentally respectful or friendly about these vehicles.
They don't fit in with the great outdoors they visit. They shout their demands to be noticed.
They're ecological disasters.
They're a blot on the landscape but they don't have to be. They're a designers worst nightmare but they don't have to be.
They're ugly misfits but with a right
to their place in the sun.
And I must show tolerance to the good taste
or otherwise of my fellow travelers...

The Romantic Age Of Steam...

And the wonderful days of steam trains in particular and yes, the wonderful days of cough wheeze gasp pollution.
But no, never ever visual pollution.
This was the age of a particular beauty that we'll never see the likes of again.
This is a beauty that can reduce grown men to tears. Or was it the smoke in their eyes.
But I digress. Welsh father and son photography duo Robin and Talieson Coombes share a passion for recording the romance of the steam locomotive. To them the steam locomotive has a particular appeal as it's almost a living breathing machine that inspires awe even in those who've never actually seen them running.
You can see more of their beautiful images of our glorious past here now...
