Another image from the early 1980s in Rota, Spain shot on Tri-X film. The original, damaged negative was scanned and I applied a vintage look to mask the negative damage and still convey a story. (This is a re-release with the watermark and frame removed for free download)
Santa Fe U36C leads three cowl units east as they are about bang across the SP diamond at Colton. I used to frequent this area to watch and photograph trains of the three main railroad in SoCal, UP, Santa Fe and of course the mighty SP. Mid 80s.

the Western Firecraft (left) and the Cairns 660 Metro (right) fire helmets were widely used by US Army FDs in the 1980s throughout Bavaria. Nice looking helmets also depicted in my books on US Military FDs
Western Firecraft (links) und Cairns 660 Metro (rechts) waren die am meisten genutzten Helme der U.S. Army Feuerwehren in Bayern in den 1980ern, die zur Genüge auch in meinen aktuellen Büchern vorkommen. Direkt im Onlineshop des Verlegers erhältlich: www.mietoldtimer.de/oldtimer-enthusiasten-shop/
Well it's actually the spa and gym at the front of the cruise ship Celebrity Apex. However, it reminded me of the sun visors we might have worn as kids in the early 80s. Picture taken at sunrise in the port of Funchal.
Another one i've snapped before, its on the way to my Dad's house and look a lot rougher than it did in 2017, sad to see it slowly rusting away.....
I completely forgot i had snapped this earlier in the year from long range when it was at the front of the compound, no plates, its now moved and is more difficult to snap, such a rare car to see in the UK now.

Listening to synthwave on a Friday night will do this.
Mail sent by the Regional Parks Foundation in 1988 in celebration of the Tilden carousel. The stamps are regular US issue stamps (not specific to Tilden).
Though it was the 1980s this photo looks like it could have been taken in the 50s or 60s. Scanned from an old print.
So tired after a long night of cocktails, flirting and dancing. You may have to carry me to the bedroom, undress me and put me to bed. And behave yourself.
I love the 80s look of a nice blouse with shoulder pads,pencil skirt and big hair!! I have to own up and admit this isn't a recent picture!!
Not enough clothing, oodles of hair and gorgeous metallic blue eyeshadow. The eighties, what a time.
Back then I found myself seriously attracted to this kind of woman. Now? Still attracted to her kind of woman :-)
Probably one of the roughest cars I came across, unbelievable how much was rammed inside of it, hence the massive suspension sag.
The southern parts of the city seemed a bit denser with old cars, I'd have made much more effort exploring given the time.
This afternoon I've had the "privilege" of looking through a collection of photos some of which go back to the turn of the last century (yes, around 1900!) with a view to keeping some and binning others. What a job it turned out to be. A mammoth task which I only just scratched the surface of. But I have a plan and it goes something like this. If it has a person on it - then it gets kept. If there is no person in the shot, then if it is a building - or a place - and I could go back now and take a comparison shot showing differences, then it stays. If there are features that mark it as a particular era - like 1980s cars - then it stays. If its just a landscape or building that probably looks the same now or I could jump on the motorcycle, in the car or any other type of transport and go and take a similar shot today, then it goes in the bin (aka trash can). Brutal - but there is just soooooo much of it, the cull has to start somewhere.
I did like this shot because definitely it can only be one period in time - i.e. the 1980s and I'm guessing its around 1986 or 1987 because of the "D" registration numbers on the Vauxhall Astra and the Ford Orion. (Update March 2023 - it was 1988).
I can't identify all of the cars so if you can please help that would be cool - maybe add a "note" or comment if you like. The yellow car on the right is a real mystery.
So why was this shot taken? My guess is to illustrate a parking "problem". There are double yellow lines, a "yellow box" and "keep clear" signs which everyone is ignoring completely. The idea if I recall is that area shown was supposed to be kept clear for emergency services in case there was an accident or illness on the precinct or indeed a fire in the tower block to the right. It also slightly disproves the theory that society has degenerated in the last few years - and that there were plenty of selfish and ignorant twats around the area then, too.
The tower block is Southway in Eccles, Manchester, England and in the distance is The Duke Of York public house where, it is true to say, I've sunk a fair few pints of Timothy Taylor's Landlord over the years but it is a long time since I last went inside. So going back to the criteria - could I go back and take a comparison shot now? Yes indeed. I might just do that sometime but as far as I know this area is cordoned off or maybe built on now.
🐍 Un des nids de câbles qu’il a fallu démêler pour mettre à jour tout le réseau de la Station la semaine dernière. Un peu comme changer sa box sur Terre…. mais avec des centaines et centaines de gros câbles à gérer et des centaines de connexions à faire… ! Une tâche qui, dans un bel élan d’optimisme, devait à l’origine se boucler en quelques heures. Au final Mark et moi on y a passé quasiment toute la journée ! On s’en souviendra… Le fil vert sur le bouton vert, le fil rouge sur le bouton rouge... #CableManagement
Mark and myself worked on upgrading the entire Space Station network last week. It sounds like we just swapped a new internet box? Not really… it was a very labour-intensive task that took all day, with hundreds of meters of unwieldy cables, and hundreds of connections to make. And no pressure: if you don’t reconnect all of them properly, the Station won’t work… 😉

A few dodgy areas on the body I think! I had been hoping to see one of these so was happy this one popped up, I then saw an incredibly rough one a few hours later.
Interesting lean on that rear wheel too.
A trio of Lufthansa 737-200's at London Heathrow, nearest the camera is D-ABFX, along with D-ABHU and D-ABFC. At one time the Lufthansa 737-200 fleet stood at 47 aircraft. Overall the airline operated 155 Boeing 737's of all marks.
Two of the above later went on to join Ryanair, D_ABFX became EI-CNV, and D-ABFC went on to become EI-CNT.

The world needs more photos of Joanna Gleason from the 1980s. Thanks to AI, we are able to get more photos of Joanna Gleason from the 1980s.
For some reason, this look feels like a headshot done to apply for the job of Dr. Crusher on STNG.
