"The train is a small world moving through a larger world."
Quote - Elisha Cooper
This is also a 3D train, and stand by itself, but is rather flat ;-))
I folded both parts from a 21x21cm double colored kami-paper. Trains can have a fancy color too, right?, especially in Origami-land ;-))
Happy a joyful start of your weekend!!
Final size:
Locomotive: height 8cm, width 9cm
Passenger car: height 5cm, width 12cm, but it includes the coupling part.
Length of the whole train once connected is about 18cm.
Model: origami Locomotive and Passenger Car
Design: Katsuhia Tamada

Lens took from vintage Dacora Digna 6X6 medium format film camera - rarely comes up for sale.
Initial test results looks promising; can't differentiate the bokeh character from Trioplan. Looking forward to use this lens in 2017.
Time for one more panning shot from last years Goodwood Revival, this time of the 1934 Maserati Tipo 8CM (S/N 3011).
Bought originally by Whitney Straight in 1934 (one of three cars he bought) and raced extensively in the 1934 season before passing to Harry Rose, the car was recorded at 135.49 mph over a flying mile at the Brooklands Speed Trial on the 23rd June 1934.
In 1936 the car was bought by Prince B. Bira, who campaigned the 8CM over the next 11 years (with a gap from 1939 to 1946).
In 1949, Kenneth McAlpine took on the car and painted it black, and fitted the engine from S/N 3013. It then competed in a number of UK events, including the hill climbs at Shelsley Walsh and Prescott, and the Brighton Speed Trials.
In 1951 the car was repainted again, this time in red, and its racing history goes quiet. At some point the car then went through a restoration and was returned back to its 1949 configuration with black paint, before being resprayed to the blue seen here in this photo.

la grenouille agile
DESCRIPTION :
Taille : La grenouille agile mesure environ 8cm pour la femelle.
Forme, allure : La grenouille agile (Rana dalmatina) est l’une de nos grenouilles « rousses ». A l’opposé des « grenouilles vertes » qui sont bruyantes et aquatiques, les grenouilles rousses sont plus discrètes et terrestres. Deux espèces sont assez courantes, la grenouille rousse à proprement parler (Rana temporaria) et la grenouille agile. Cette dernière possède une grosse callosité à l’extérieur du pied (le tubercule métatarsal) qui est petite chez Rana temporaria. Mais surtout, la grenouille agile à de plus longues pattes postérieures, d’où son nom. Le talon dépasse le bout du museau. Elle a le corps élancé, le museau pointu, de grands tympans juste en arrière des yeux et une large tâche brun sombre qui part de l’extrémité du museau et qui marque les cotés de la tête jusqu’en arrière des tympans.
Coloration : La coloration générale est brune, grisâtre ou bistre plus ou moins foncé selon les individus. Une ligne plus ou moins nette parcourt la colonne vertébrale, et on voit souvent une marque en forme de ^ entre les épaules. Si le dos présente des tâches irrégulières, la face ventrale n’est jamais tachetée, à la différence de la grenouille rousse. Les pattes sont rayées.
Comportement : Lorsqu’elle est surprise, elle peut faire un bond de plus de 2 m, et lorsqu’on la saisit, elle émet souvent un jet d’urine d’où son autre appellation de grenouille pisseuse.
Corteza de pino canario tras el incendio. Este árbol, endémico de las islas Canarias, tiene la característica de quemarse el tronco solo en superficie por lo que tras el incendio es capaz de rebrotar y seguir viviendo. Esto es debido al grosor de su corteza (8cm)
The canary Island pine is an endemic species This tree is especially resistant to wildfires. After one of them, it is capable of re-sprouting, even if it has lost the leaves and the branches.

For several years, Elisa Liddell has posted her impossibly tiny Swarovski® crystal beads.
Finally I had to find and purchase some sparkly .8cm/ 0.31 inch crystal beads, also.
(The Laowa lens magnifies by two.)
Thanks, dear virtual Scottish friend!
Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 5.8cm f2
老鏡頭總是會呈現出令人驚艷的散景畫面，
尤其是以大光圈拍攝時，
都以獲得很滿意又喜歡的散景，
今天又以這支老鏡頭Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 5.8cm f2Jena 來拍拍，
因為不是在花園拍攝，而且是在人家的門前，
要構圖不是那麼容易。
不過，還是盡量拍出我想要的散景，雖不完美，
尚可接受！我很喜歡老鏡頭拍出來的效果…
以後還是會繼續玩老鏡頭，
將它的優點盡情的挖掘出來！。。^0^
Only 18 Maserati 8CM's were produced, this one being chassis 3011. Known as the "The Whitney Straight Special" after its first owner, American driver Whitney Straight, the car features a 3ltr eight-cylinder supercharged engine.
The car was raced using the US national racing team colour of white, and the car also saw service in the UK with British driver Richard Seaman using the Maserati to great effect at Brooklands, winning the 1936 Empire Trophy.
The car changed hands at the start of 1937, when Prince Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh (Prince Bira) took ownership. Prince Biratook managed to finish the 1937 Donington Grand Prix in fifth place, a race that was dominated by the Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz cars.
The car went on to spend 20 years in the USA, and was raced with black paintwork for much of that time with then owner Peter Giddins. In 2008 the car returned to the UK when Chris Jaques purchased the car, who restored the car back to the livery it had when it was under the ownership of Prince Bira.
If you ever need to identify chassis 3011, just look at the front grill and its distinctive heart shape, built for Whitney Straight in the 1930's as a special commission. No other 8CM have this feature.
