New phone means quick test photo - and what better to try it out on than a Duewag? Sheffield Supertram 113 pauses at Valley Centertainment working a Meadowhall bound yellow route service 13/07/2021.
This is what the Merz would have looked like if it had been a few years earlier. The W113 chassis consisted of the 230SL, 250SL and 280SL "Pagoda" roadsters made from 1963 through 1971.

We have had this little plant for more than a couple of years. It has only three little heart-shaped leaves and once a year (around Spring-time) this little flower appears. I can't remember what you call it - my wife is working and she would know (and that's why I am managing to get my photos done early) - but I know it is a plant!!
Have a wonderful day!

Capture Your 365 .....
I first saw Michelle with her children, one in a a stroller, the other holding her hand. They were waiting in line, and the trio appeared to be any other mother and kids out for the afternoon. Then I noticed Michelle's arm. I stopped. Each arm was tattooed, along with her neck and chest.
"I love your tattoos," I exclaimed.
"Thanks," she smiled shyly as her children squirmed.
"It is so neat to see a woman with a whole sleeve of old school ink. Would you mind if I took a picture of them?" I ventured.
"They're not finished," she replied.
"Doesn't matter to me," I said. "You're just too cool to pass up." Michelle blushed as she agreed. She stepped out of line and I asked her to place her hand on her shoulder to better display the ink. I shot several frames as she kept an eye on her youngsters. I thanked her and asked if she ever modeled. She laughed and said no. I gave her my card anyway and she returned to her waiting children.
As I later looked through the images, the background was cluttered and distracting. It did not show Michelle as I wanted, so I went directly to Gimp and began to layer and process the images. As I worked, I realized that these were not just photos of a woman with tattoos, but photos of a mother, and a damned cool mother at that. I changed my emphasis from the ink to the person. I think I captured that, and Michelle, if you find your photograph, I hope you like it.
So, how hip was Michelle? The line she was waiting in was for temporary tattoos for her children. Yeah, it pegged my coolometer too. Thank you Michelle, and if you ever change your mind about modeling, contact me. Michelle is the one hundred and thirteenth stranger in my 100 Strangers project.

Many of the tiles in Dubrovnik old town had to be replaced after the 1991/2 war but these are some of the old ones that survived.
