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.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, England. The entire structure is 135 metres tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres.
The wheel's 32 sealed and air-conditioned ovoidal passenger capsules, designed and supplied by Poma, are attached to the external circumference of the wheel and rotated by electric motors. Each of the 10-tonne capsules represents one of the London Boroughs, and holds up to 25 people, who are free to walk around inside the capsule, though seating is provided. The wheel rotates at 26 cm per second (about 0.9 km/h) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes. It does not usually stop to take on passengers; the rotation rate is slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and off the moving capsules at ground level.

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

Click here to see the story an interesting coincidence that happened with this photo.
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.

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.
