Fuji X-E2 plus pancake lens. These are just a few of these charming 1930s semi-detached homes. Millions, I would think, had been built. And I once lived in one of them - and did enjoy it. Yes, they were mass-produced and standardised, in that respect they are repetitive and predictable. Not predictable is who is living in these homes. Neither can you know whether there will be more of these 1930s on the left or the right of the image. Predictability has its limits.
Created in Wombo-Dream with a prompt from the Classic car show I shot last August... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!
In der Nähe von Graupa, wo Richard Wagner während seiner Arbeit an der Oper Lohengrin wohnte, befindet sich im Liebethaler Grund das größte Richard-Wagner-Denkmal der Welt, ein Wallfahrtsort für viele Wagnerianer.
Das Denkmal stellt Wagner als Gralsritter dar. Zu seinen Füßen sind fünf Figuren dargestellt, die die Elemente seiner Musik verkörpern: das sphärische, das lyrische, das dramatische, das dionysische und das dämonische. Die Figuren aus Bronze sind über vier Meter hoch, zusammen mit dem Sandsteinsockel hat das Denkmal eine Höhe von 12,5 m.
Das Denkmal wurde 1911/12 vom Bildhauer und Maler Richard Guhr entworfen. Er war Professor für Monumentalkunst an der Akademie Dresden und leidenschaftlicher Wagnerianer. Ursprünglich sollte das Denkmal im Großen Garten in Dresden aufgestellt werden, der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges und die Wirtschaftskrise ließen es jedoch in Vergessenheit geraten.
Wagnerfreunde entdeckten das Denkmal in den 30er Jahren wieder und ließen es an seinem heutigen Standort an der Wesenitz errichten. Die Familie Staude, damals Besitzer der Lochmühle im Liebethaler Grund, wo Wagner 1846 Teile seiner Opern Lohengrin und Tannhäuser schrieb, stellte das Grundstück dafür kostenlos zur Verfügung, Richard Guhr finanzierte den Aufbau des Denkmals und den Sandsteinsockel. Am 21. Mai 1933, dem 50. Todestag Wagners, wurde das Denkmal enthüllt und war damit das erste Wagnerdenkmal in Sachsen.
Near Graupa, where Richard Wagner lived while working on the opera Lohengrin, the Liebethaler Grund is home to the largest Richard Wagner monument in the world, a place of pilgrimage for many Wagnerians.
The monument depicts Wagner as a Knight of the Grail. At his feet are five figures that embody the elements of his music: the spherical, the lyrical, the dramatic, the Dionysian and the demonic. The bronze figures are over four meters high, and together with the sandstone base, the monument is 12.5 m high.
The monument was designed in 1911/12 by the sculptor and painter Richard Guhr. He was a professor of monumental art at the Dresden Academy and a passionate Wagnerian. The monument was originally intended to be erected in the Great Garden in Dresden, but the outbreak of the First World War and the economic crisis caused it to be forgotten.
Wagner friends rediscovered the monument in the 1930s and had it erected at its current location on the Wesenitz. The Staude family, then owners of the Lochmühle in Liebethaler Grund, where Wagner wrote parts of his operas Lohengrin and Tannhäuser in 1846, made the property available free of charge, and Richard Guhr financed the construction of the monument and the sandstone base. The monument was unveiled on May 21, 1933, the 50th anniversary of Wagner's death, making it the first Wagner monument in Saxony.

I had a very enjoyable visit with my grandson to this amazing place, The Barker Comic and Cartoon Museum! From Vintage 1930s Mickey Mouse Toothpaste to a 1:1 Scale Replica of the Hulk, every toy you’ve ever played with (or dreamed of) is displayed amongst the 88,000+ antique toys and collectibles within the Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum. Official Museum for Celebriducks, California Raisins, and Gumby! I shot a bunch of shots, all with a cell phone (not like me, I know) and most were behind glass cabinets. What a trip with so many memories to enjoy! I hope you'll also enjoy seeing some of the shots I walked away with, and more will follow...no car shots today :))

Bought a leather camera case in an antique shop for $35.00. This rig came inside.The camera is a Contax II, a classic rangefinder camera produced by Zeiss Ikon in the late 1930s. It was known for its high-quality construction and innovative design, featuring a combined rangefinder and viewfinder system. The lens mounted on it is a Zeiss Tessar 1:2.8 f=5cm, a renowned lens known for its sharpness and clarity, with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and a focal length of 50mm. The Tessar design, developed by Paul Rudolph, uses four elements in three groups, offering excellent optical performance for its time. The camera's shutter speeds range from 1 second to 1/1250 second, and it includes a sync for flash photography. This combination was popular among photographers for its reliability and image quality during the mid-20th century.
A westbound Baltimore & Ohio freight led by 2-8-2 4428 knocks down the Clear signal at Halethorpe MD as it heads towards the Old Main Line sometime in the 1930s. This is a rather large 122 sized negative which is what Kodak referred to as "postcard size" roll film.

The house has been redecorated many times since 1937 but, behind the bath panel, a few flakes of original paintwork remain. Pastel shades clearly weren’t the fashion in 1937!
Thanks for looking.

A photo from a lot of 100 I bought in 2012 while on a visit with Betty. We were antiquing. Right now this looks so inviting.
From the 1930s or 1940s, going by the other photos in the lot.

I saw a photo about 1930s Manchester and I have attempted a digital painting of it.
I don't know:

What those papers she is carrying are
A mystery.
Did an Urbex trip into Detroit recently.
4 years and counting, since this #cocacola ghost sign was revealed when the building next to it was torn down. I figured the sign was from the 1930s. Slowly the building is falling apart with graffiti showing up inside the structuring. Not sure what those red painted areas are, since they did not exist four years ago. Maybe someone painted over some offensive tagging.

The interweb tells me that Burroughs added electric models to its line in the 1930s. But manual units, such as this one, still were available.
Became a patron and get new PDF building instructions every week!

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

I intended to build Gatsby's yellow sportscar from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" but then realized that I have only little parts available in yellow. So I went with white and dark red and built something else...
I think this may be a model 303, made in 1933 or 1934, but I am not sure.
