As 48 cachoeiras de Akame são o local de nascimento do Ninja e o lar da salamandra gigante,

uma criatura pré-histórica viva fabulosa. Com suas águas límpidas e sua selva lustrosa, Akame

é o lugar perfeito para descobrir o Japão real, longe dos arranha-céus, em uma suave caminhada

pela história e pela natureza.

Not being great with heights, on a recent trip to Frankfurt, the office I have been working in offered the chance to walk around the Sky bar - too good an opportunity not to take my camera... opened a window and looked down - my knees they were a knocking!

Before the night there is a time

when one can watch the dark descend

it's everyday outside the door

plus every day a different bend

 

This time is when the darkness comes

gently in the western sky

each new day a unique scene

of beauty one cannot deny

1948 rear engined, rear drive Tucker sedan, sporting it's signature turning 3rd headlight, one of 50 or 51.......Trying to do too much that was either too new or incompletely understood, or under-engineered, or engineered too late.............Trying to introduce numerous clever innovations for style or safety exhausted the staff and the bank account, and the dream folded in March of 1949.

 

Swooping fenders and six exhaust pipes make the Tucker look like a rocket ship. But Preston Tucker's car mixes fantasy with practicality, just like numerous other car maker/dreamers over the last century, and as with the others, the clock ticked too fast to solve the numerous problems as he attempted too many revolutions in too little time with far too little cash.

 

The 48's original proposed price was said to be $1,000, but the actual selling price was closer to $4,000 at a time when the average cost of an American new auto was a little over $1200.

 

The story of the convoluted design changes, and the problems....some overcome, some not, but all generally very creative, is worth a read. Even the Wikipedia article will show the wild convoluted and desperate struggle to solve 50 problems at once, impossible as it turned out. But a few of them survive and they are major interesting!

Ein bisschen Wasser ist ja noch drin 😊
