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.

APOLOGIES
Apologies to all my contacts for not visiting and commenting. Work and weather are both very trying, first week back at work under a mega heat wave. Every day is over 40C heat, yesterday was 45C and today 46C. While it was pleasant to see my colleagues and be in a swish new office, my body is complaining about the lack of lying down and napping.

The flowers are succeeded by large, eggshaped seed capsules of a green colour, about the size of a large walnut and covered with numerous sharp spines, hence the name of the plant. When ripe, this seed-vessel opens at the top, throwing back four valve-like forms, leaving a long, central structure upon which are numerous rough, dark-brown seeds. The appearance of the plant when in flower and fruit is so peculiar that it cannot be mistaken for any other native herb.
The plant is smooth, except for a slight downiness on the younger parts, which are covered with short, curved hairs, which fall off as growth proceeds. It exhales a rank, very heavy and somewhat nauseating narcotic odour. This foetid odour arises from the leaves, especially when they are bruised, but the flowers are sweet-scented, though producing stupor if their exhalations are breathed for any length of time.
The plant is strongly narcotic, but has a peculiar action on the human frame which renders it very valuable as a medicine.
Discovered deep in the bowls of my hard drive, I present this image of a BNSF intermodal with no less than 4 SD40-2's. Taken somewhere near Shelby Montana, I still don't know why I didn't shoot this train more than once....
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.
The former Church of England school in Ironbridge (constructed 1859), which has lain empty for a number of years and is now in urgent need of much love.
Passing by recently, I chanced upon a gentleman with the keys who has been looking after the property until such time as it is sold, so naturally I had to ask if he could show me round for a nosey and a few photos.
Although there is an enormous amount of clutter, apparently most has already been removed in readiness for the upcoming sale (by auction). Prior to the clear out, access to the rooms was only available via a narrow passage between the mountains of clutter.

I will probably print waterslide decals for the physical build, and airbrush the bucket piece, since it's not available in white.
I do not like much red. But I emphasized red today.

Flickrでスルー気味だった写真がどこかで紹介されたようで写真単品で100,000viewsを突破してました。晒され元をご存知の方教えてください!!
🌠 Après quelques journées (intenses 😅) j'ai enfin pu voir des photos de notre retour sur Terre et ça avait l’air d’être un spectacle sympa. Ce n'était pas mal non plus à vivre depuis l'intérieur, avec le plasma chauffé à 1900°C qui illuminait l'intérieur du Dragon de sa lumière rose, avant que les hublots ne deviennent complètement carbonisés et opaques. On en a presque oublié les 4,54g 🐘
.
I finally saw a few images of our return and it didn’t look bad from outside! From the inside, the plasma at 1900°C lighted up the capsule in pink through the window, before it was charred. A good distraction from the 4,54g which were no one’s favorite part 🌠
