Gilels in response to Richter said, Lazar Bergman is the best pianist amongst the three of them. Whether he really meant it is off the point, the point is this pianist is of the same league with them :

First lighthouse of the Kallo on the island was erected in 1884. First lighthouse fog signaling equipment was from 1901 from hand-to-use Hansen's sirens.
The current hardware elements assembled octagonal lighthouse tower and the splendor of wood on the side of the nurse home was built in 1903.
In 1906, the manual was replaced by a ball fog siren engines and compressors working with a siren, which was built in a separate machine protection. Fog horn was seven meters long and its jaw was three meters in diameter.
Lighthouse had two separate overlapping light device, which were identified by the differing red-white flashing lights. Light System was first amended on gas, and then an electric in the 1930s, and also the fog signal was replaced by electric equipment nautofonilla.
Cranial extension of the lighthouse and the red splendor of wooden housing is a Finnish nurse photographed lighthouses, the lighthouse Marjaniemi addition, it is the only lighthouse in which where you can drive a car."

The Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 01.10 was a series of express steam locomotives. Developed at the end of the 1930s it was part of the standard locomotive programme (Einheitsdampflokomotiven). Modernized in the 1950s, the class lasted almost until the end of steam operation at the West German Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB).

"According to The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in the UK we've lost some 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s and that saying nothing of the damage we've inflicted on our wildlife". We should be much more than ashamed of ourselves. These wild poppies visit my garden every year and I love having them as guests.

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.
Tram 28 Lisbon. Classic yellow trams retaining original 1930s features like brass dials & polished wood interiors
The number 28 tram in Lisbon connects Martim Moniz with Campo Ourique, and passes through the popular tourist districts of Graca, Alfama, Baixa and Estrela.
For visitors, this is the classic Lisbon tram journey, riding in a quaint yellow tram as it rattles and screeches through the narrow streets of the city.
Along the E28 route, delightful Remodelado trams trundle, and these retain many of their original 1930s features, including polished wood interiors, brass dials and cheery yellow paintwork. In any other city, these trams would be housed in a museum, but in Lisbon, they are an integral part of the public transport network.
These historic trams are still in use, as the number 28 tram route is completely unsuitable for modern trams, due to its numerous tight turns, narrow streets and steep gradients. The E28 tram follows a very scenic route, passing through many of Lisbon’s historic districts, and provides one of the best tours of the city.
The ride on the number 28 tram is one of the highlights of Lisbon, but its popularity means it frequently suffers from over-tourism. There are some very simple tips to get the most from the experience.
• Ride the tram early (or late) in the day, to avoid the mid-day crowds.
• Board the tram at Martim Moniz (or Campo Ourique), as there is a better chance of getting a seat.
• Always be wary of pickpockets
• Purchase the 24-hour public transport ticket from any metro station. This removes the hassle of buying a ticket on board and is exceptional value for money
• Ride the entire route, as there is so much to see.
• If standing, hold on tight, as the brakes are very sharp!
This is a shot of the wonderful colonial buildings in the historic township of Ross in the centre of Tasmania with many of the old buildings dating back to the mid 1800s. The car dates back to 1932 and is an old Ford V8 convertible sedan.

Urban Light (2008) is a large-scale assemblage sculpture by Chris Burden located at the Wilshire Boulevard entrance to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The 2008 installation consists of restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Urban Light is composed of 202 street lamps arranged in a neat grid. The lamps mostly came from the streets of Southern California, including Hollywood, Glendale, and Anaheim, with some from Portland, Oregon. Since its 2008 installation, Urban Light has become an extremely popular attraction, and it has become the most visited, photographed and well-known public artwork in Southern California.
RMS Strathnaver and tug James Paterson photographed in Australia by Allan C.Green (prob.) in the 1930s. My colorization of the original image in the State Library Victoria archive.
"RMS Strathnaver, later SS Strathnaver, was an ocean liner of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O). She was the first of five sister ships in what came to be called the "Strath" class. All previous P&O steamships had black-painted hulls and funnels but Strathnaver and her sisters were painted with white hulls and buff funnels, which earned them the nickname "The Beautiful White Sisters" or just "The White Sisters". Strathnaver and her sister ships RMS Strathaird and RMS Strathmore were Royal Mail Ships that worked P&O's regular liner route between Tilbury in Essex, England and Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. Strathnaver remained in service for just over 30 years, being scrapped in 1962." (Wikipedia)
The heyday of Potsdamer Platz was in the 1920s and 1930s. By this time it had developed into the busiest traffic center in all of Europe, and the heart of Berlin's nightlife. It had acquired an iconic status, on a par with Piccadilly Circus in London or Times Square in New York. It was a key location that helped to symbolise Berlin; it was known worldwide, and a legend grew up around it. It represented the geographical centre of the city, the meeting place of five of its busiest streets in a star-shaped intersection deemed the transport hub of the entire continent.

Steam Engine 131.060. Type: 1C1 h2t. Manufacturer: Resita Rumania. Construction year: 1942. Factory number: 611. Track: 1435 mm. Steam locomotives were first developed in Great Britain during the early 19th century and dominated railway transport until the middle of the 20th century. From the early 1900s they were gradually superseded by electric and diesel locomotives, with full conversions to electric and diesel power beginning from the 1930s.
Those of you who have known me since my early Flickr days know that I am a bit of a collector.
OKAY, I confess I am a BIG TIME collector of all things pretty.
I have quite an extensive collection of beaded evening bags, mostly from the 1920's and 1930's and they hang off anything they can be hung off.
Just in case they weren't sparkly enough, I had to add more of my vintage jewellery.
Honestly going into my bedroom on a sunny day, one has to wear sunglasses as there are prisms of light flashing every where!!!
LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS IN THE LARGER SIZES
My maternal grandmother. Arrived from the Faroe Islands and fell in love. (It lasted more than 70 years :-) Photo from ca. 1936. She was born April 4, 1916, and died last fall. She was all joy, kisses and hugs! Photo of a photo.....
Italy, Venice, "Marala", a classic 1930s luxury motor yacht, integrated with the latest in modern entertainment, safety & navigation systems. The home port is Piraeus, Greece, but official flagged in Panama. The accommodation capacity offering seven comfortable cabins for a maximum of 13 yacht guests spending the nights & under normal conditions she has room for approx. 18 expert crew members to operate the yacht. The Marala has been fife times renamed, delivered in 1931 & has had just three owners in almost 90 years.
The steel hull, aluminium & steel superstructure yacht is 58.8 mtr long, a beam of 8.08 mtr, a deep draught of almost 4 mtr, two 750 Horse Power main engines, reaching a high speed of 15 knots = 27.78 km built with a teak wood deck by Camper & Nicholsons ship building company in Southampton, United Kingdom
📌 ....if you still have some 10 million++€ lying around somewhere & don't need it, you can buy the Marala with it, …just for nice weekends, photo shootings or so. Of course you need also a bit of pocket money for the monthly costs, crew, gasoline, insurance, maintenance etc. etc.
📍....but you will find out you newer knew that you have so many good friends....... cheers... 🍸
The lagoon city hides many picturesque places offside the tourist roads. If the buildings would be straight, painted & well maintained, I think Venice without this patina, the gondolas & gondolieri, channels, little bridges & the at all-time busy Canal Grande; all these main ingredients altogether express the romantic charm of Venice.
👉 One World one Dream,
🙏...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over

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.
Comments are not necessary.
Millions of these houses were built in Britain from around 1930. They were "modern" (the bathroom was inside) and usually had two bedrooms upstairs and downstairs lounge, reception and a small kitchen. They also came with a piece of garden. Getting one of these was a dream for many people on modest income. They still are attractive, particularly when modernised, and much preferable to some of the newly built houses. Sony A7iii.
From Audubon:
Flocks of Glossy Ibises wade in the shallows of eastern marshes, probing for food with their sickle-shaped bills. Widespread in the Old World, the species is found in the Americas mainly in the West Indies and along the US Atlantic Coast, especially Florida, where it was quite scarce as recently as the 1930s. It may have invaded within the last few centuries, riding the trade winds across from West Africa to the Caribbean.
I saw a photo about 1930s Manchester and I have attempted a digital painting of it.
I don't know:
Who she is
Where she is going
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 garden at Sissinghurst Castle in the Weald of Kent, in England at Sissinghurst village, is owned and maintained by the National Trust. It is among the most famous gardens in England and is grade I listed.
Sissinghurst's garden was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. Sackville-West was a writer on the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group who found her greatest popularity in the weekly columns she contributed as gardening correspondent of The Observer, which incidentally—for she never touted it—made her own garden famous. The garden itself is designed as a series of 'rooms', each with a different character of colour and/or theme, the walls being high clipped hedges and many pink brick walls. The rooms and 'doors' are so arranged that, as one enjoys the beauty in a given room, one suddenly discovers a new vista into another part of the garden, making a walk a series of discoveries that keeps leading one into yet another area of the garden. Nicolson spent his efforts coming up with interesting new interconnections, while Sackville-West focused on making the flowers in the interior of each room exciting.
For Sackville-West, Sissinghurst and its garden rooms came to be a poignant and romantic substitute for Knole, reputedly the largest house in Britain, which as the only child of Lionel, the 3rd Lord Sackville she would have inherited had she been a male, but which had passed to her cousin as the male heir.
The site is ancient; "hurst" is the Saxon term for an enclosed wood. A manor house with a three-armed moat was built here in the Middle Ages. In 1305, King Edward I spent a night here. It was long thought that in 1490 Thomas Baker, a man from Cranbrook, purchased Sissinghurst, although there is no evidence for it. What is certain is that the house was given a new brick gatehouse in the 1530s by Sir John Baker, one of Henry VIII's Privy Councillors, and greatly enlarged in the 1560s by his son Sir Richard Baker, when it became the centre of a 700-acre (2.8 km2) deer park. In August 1573 Queen Elizabeth I spent three nights at Sissinghurst.
After the collapse of the Baker family in the late 17th century, the building had many uses: as a prisoner-of-war camp during the Seven Years' War; as the workhouse for the Cranbrook Union; after which it became homes for farm labourers.
Sackville-West and Nicolson found Sissinghurst in 1930 after concern that their property Long Barn, near Sevenoaks, Kent, was close to development over which they had no control. Although Sissinghurst was derelict, they purchased the ruins and the farm around it and began constructing the garden we know today. The layout by Nicolson and planting by Sackville-West were both strongly influenced by the gardens of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens; by the earlier Cothay Manor in Somerset, laid out by Nicolson's friend Reginald Cooper, and described by one garden writer as the "Sissinghurst of the West Country"; and by Hidcote Manor Garden, designed and owned by Lawrence Johnston, which Sackville-West helped to preserve. Sissinghurst was first opened to the public in 1938.
The National Trust took over the whole of Sissinghurst, its garden, farm and buildings, in 1967. The garden epitomises the English garden of the mid-20th century. It is now very popular and can be crowded in peak holiday periods. In 2009, BBC Four broadcast an eight-part television documentary series called Sissinghurst, describing the house and garden and the attempts by Adam Nicolson and his wife Sarah Raven, who are 'Resident Donors', to restore a form of traditional Wealden agriculture to the Castle Farm. Their plan is to use the land to grow ingredients for lunches in the Sissinghurst restaurant. A fuller version of the story can be found in Nicolson's book, Sissinghurst: An Unfinished History (2008).

Find me on:
The old Unilever soap factory at Lakeshore and Don River. Lever Brothers and later Unilever operated a factory on this site from 1890 until it was sold in 2002. The building pictured dates from the 1930s and has been empty since 2009. The site will be redeveloped in the next decade into a massive commercial hub called East Harbour.
I photographed this c. 1930s globe with some old Tri-X and lith printed it on paper that expired from that same decade.
Film: Kodak Tri-X 4x5 expired September 1963
Camera: Burke and James Orbit
Paper: Defender "Velour Black" expired 1938
The paper came in a in a badly deteriorated envelop which smelled like motor oil but I was able to coax an image out of it with some Moersch SE5 developer. I toned it briefly in Selenium to deepen the blacks.
