For 119 pictures in 2019, #58 "in your time capsule", These are some items representing particular times in my life: a box of Ektachrome slides from the late 1960s, a (still valid) passport for all the times I had to travel to Europe on business (over the last few years, before I retired), and a collection of guitar picks for the time I used to build and play guitars.

A well kept Ford Cortina provides the foreground at a time when buses in Malta were provided by a collective of private owners that resulted in a great deal of individuality on the island.
All this came to an end in July 2011, but at least these days islanders have a more comfortable and up-to-date experience, and there are more buses than there were. And on most routes since October 2022, buses have been free to locals.
Many of the old buses still survive - 90 were purchased by 'Heritage Malta' and were put in store pending restoration, whilst others have been bought privately, including a small number in the UK.
Here is some detail of the vehicles in the shot (buses left to right)

This is my second set from bf❤ What happened was that I sent my first set of capsule machines to the bf's house last year or so and asked him to bring them back to my house when he visited 3 weeks ago. Somehow he lost the mini sticker&small capsule of one of the machines and bought me a new set ^_____^ I like how these come in boxes 'cause my first set came in capsules instead. I'll take individual pictures of the machines later :P
A friend was ordering parts from a Polish BrickLink store and asked if there was anything I wanted while he was doing an international order. I noticed they had the a lot of the new (ish) 2x2 turntable pieces going cheap, so when the order arrived, I immediately set to work to build something with a few of them. Thus the Micropolis Capsule Hotel was born. Cheap and cheerful, it's a popular place to stay while visiting the tiny city. Ref: D1710-052

The iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower, in Shimbashi, is still hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Probably not much longer left to see this supreme example of Japanese Metabolism. It's already covered with netting and looks rather dilapidated. In all my years in Tokyo today was the first time I've been up close to it.
I wanted to do something unique with the canopy from the 75188 Resistance Bomber set, and this immediately came to mind. It's very much inspired by the old G.I. Joe space capsule which I had as a kid, minus the bright blue interior!

You've heard all about Japan's capsule hotels. Well, here's the very first capsule architecture which gave birth to the concept, still fully intact and operational as offices and residential space in Shimbashi. Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, the Nakagin Capsule Tower was built between 1970 and 1972. Each of these little concrete 'boxes' is a fully self-contained unit, equipped with bed, tv/radio console, bathroom, and closet. (See more info on the construction).

Nakagin Capsule Tower, March 2022. Scheduled to be demolished this year. Built in 70’s I think idea was each module unit is supposed to be replaceable. It never worked in real life, tho now in 2022 I think it could? Generic photo - I need to go back with tripod and shoot at night, maybe with Holga Panoramic.
