Black-and-white photo of people walking near an ornate historic building in Szeged, Hungary, in the 1960s.
This is another photograph for which I have no notes. It was probably taken during the first half of the 1980s and the location I thought to be Newcastle but thanks to John Law I now know is York.

The lobby of Hotel Ludovice in Lisbon effortlessly channels the spirit of Portuguese sophistication and grandeur. Housed in a former 18th-century palace, this boutique hotel pays homage to its baroque roots while embracing modern luxury. A regal portrait of João Frederico Ludovice, the architect of nearby Palácio Nacional de Mafra, commands attention above a warm-lit cabinet of curated curios. Golden botanical chandeliers shimmer against textured stone walls, while lush greenery and elegant furnishings invite guests to relax. The ambiance is both intimate and opulent—perfectly reflecting the cultural richness and stylistic flair that define Hotel Ludovice and the city of Lisbon itself.

I have a new old beetle unlike this beauty seen in a Stevenage car park. I was like a groupie taking picture and if the owner had turned up I would have been tongue tied.
Been watching retro tv, and just love seeing these products from the 70's. The graphic design is out-a-site!!!

This charming two-story white building stands in the Presidio of San Francisco, a former military post with a long history dating back to the late 18th century. With its crisp wooden siding and symmetrical window placement, the structure reflects the simple yet refined design of late 19th and early 20th-century military architecture. Its red hipped roof complements the surrounding brick barracks, a reminder of the Presidio’s time as a U.S. Army base.
The surrounding landscape features towering palm trees and manicured hedges, lending a serene contrast to the regimented geometry of the built environment. In the background, the red brick structures, likely former barracks or administrative offices, hint at the Presidio’s transformation over the decades. Once a strategic military installation, the area now serves as a national park, blending preserved historic buildings with carefully planned adaptations for public use.
The Presidio’s architecture often reflects a mix of Spanish colonial influences and classic American military design. While this particular structure doesn’t bear the grandiosity of larger officers’ quarters or the Mission Revival style found elsewhere in the park, its well-proportioned form and understated detailing contribute to the district’s historic character. It may have served as an auxiliary office, residence, or storage facility during its operational years.
Today, the Presidio is known for repurposing its historic buildings into offices, museums, and cultural spaces. This structure’s fresh white paint and maintained landscaping suggest it continues to serve a useful function, blending history with present-day utility. Its location along a curving road highlights the thoughtful planning of the Presidio, where historic preservation meets evolving urban needs.
The Hyatt Regency San Francisco’s Embarcadero Atrium is a true architectural marvel, a space where cutting-edge design and the spirit of the 1970s meld seamlessly. Designed by renowned architect John Portman, this atrium boasts the title of the world’s largest when it first opened in 1973. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a towering, light-filled space that rises 17 stories, giving an unparalleled sense of scale and grandeur. The cascading floors and geometric lines draw the eye upwards, with glass elevators whisking guests to their rooms in full view of the vast atrium, adding to the dynamic experience.
What makes the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Atrium so unique is its daring use of concrete and glass, typical of Portman’s Brutalist-meets-futuristic style. The openness of the space gives it a modern, futuristic feel, yet it still remains welcoming thanks to its thoughtful design. You’ll find lush greenery and water features that soften the industrial elements, offering a serene oasis within bustling downtown San Francisco.
Strategically located along the Embarcadero waterfront, this hotel’s central atrium has hosted numerous high-profile events, even appearing in blockbuster films like High Anxiety and The Towering Inferno. It’s also perfectly situated for visitors wanting easy access to iconic San Francisco landmarks, from the Ferry Building just across the street to the nearby Financial District and North Beach.
Stay at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero and experience a legendary piece of San Francisco's architectural history firsthand, while enjoying all the luxury and convenience of a world-class hotel.

On 6th July 1985 an open day was held at Cardiff Canton Depot in conjunction with a similar event at Cardiff Cathays Works. A shuttle service was run between the two locations. I remember it was a warm, sunny day and a great day out.
Iron Duke was in steam at Cathays. This replica GWR broad gauge locomotive is now on display at Didcot
Summer 1980: Stingray Corvette on a campground in Finnland. I shot this foto when I was a kid. It's a bit schief, but egal!
GWR steam locomotive no 4079 Pendennis Castle thunders through Bewdley with a demonstration charter train recreating the Great Wester Railway during the golden age of rail travel in the 1920s & 1930s.
An interesting comparison of historic vernacular architecture on Castle Street, Reading, with the more postmodern, pastiche architecture of the housing estate visible through the arches.
1953 Volkswagen Beetle - KRY 724 - seen in the Great Court of the British Museum, London, England. The car is representing the exhibition, "Germany: memories of a nation - a 600-year history in objects".
Map of Province of Sindh, Pakistan. Made on clay and painted with hand.
Found at a workshop in Hala, a culturally rich city of Pakistan.
Sunday 9th April 2006 on the Bluebell Railway. There was a display of Scammell Scarabs which I thought of as Mechanical Horse vehicles. I remember when these were common sights at many BR station and especially so (in my memory) at Kings Cross. Caption updated thanks to information from Gnome Service.
I like the slightly later design of the Mustang, a bit more rounded edges - but still the classic style. I think it is a 1967 - though I am not sure.
performing Pride (In the Name of Love)... which he dedicated to the Shriver family, friends of Bono, recently estranged from Arnold Schwarzenegger....
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come here to justify
One man to overthrow
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?

Sangamo Weston light meter, selenium cell. Measures incident as well as reflected light. I used to drive past the factory on the Great Cambridge Road in the early 1970s; don't expect it's there now as this sort of British industry has withered away unfortunately (unlike the State). Still, we have lots of bankers...

During a short visit to Kimmswick I came across this beautiful old car for sale. It's a 1938 Buick Century,, offered for $18,500.
It stands as a very handsome reminder of times past. It would seem a grand thing to sit in command of this vessel. I can imagine it endowed with a modern engine and mechanicals, rolling along drawing all eyes,,,
These old designs still have their appeal,, so much so that it seems an auto manufacturer could capture at least a unique niche in the market by marrying classic design with modern technoology.
