Taken at 1:2 magnification on a full-frame sensor with 100mm macro lens. This is a gadget for opening new CD jewel cases. You slide the edge of the case along the flat edge of the gadget. This depresses the plastic tab at left, which seesaws the metal blade upward, slicing through the plastic wrapping. How long before this gadget goes the way of the dinosaurs? How long will there be jewel cases to open?
The Sultan Hassan Mosque is considered stylistically the most compact and unified of all Cairo monuments. It is one of the masterpieces of Mamluk architecture. The building was commissioned by Sultan Hassan bin Al-Nasir Muhammad bin Qalawun in 1356 AD as a mosque and religious school for all four juristic branches of Sunni Islam. It was designed so that each of the four schools of thought - Shafi, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali - has its own area while sharing the mosque.[1].
Construction started in 1356 AD and ended 7 years later in 1363 AD. Building materials used were harvested from the casing stones of the Giza Necropolis. One of the minarets collapsed during construction killing 300 people. The state was able to fund the massive structure through the properties that were left behind by the victims of the Black Death. The Sultan was assassinated before the mosque was completed and his body was never recovered. The magnificent burial chamber that was intended for him holds his two sons instead.
The facade is 76 meters long and 36 meters high. The cornices, the entrance portal, the burial chamber, and the monumental staircase are particularly noteworthy. Verses from the Quran in elegant Kufic and Thuluth scripts adorn the inner walls.

This shot shows the Petri Color 35 in my hand to give you an idea of it's compact size (though being all metal it weighs in at a fairly heavy 395 grams).
The Petri Color 35 has been described (most notably by Stephen Gandy of cameraquest.com fame) as the camera that Rollei should have made instead of their Rollei 35 series of cameras.
It certainly has a unique and extremely useable user interface, perhaps the best user interface of all the super compact 35mm cameras that became increasingly popular during the 60s, 70s and 80s.
All the main controls user controls (aperture, shutter speed and focus are located on the top plate and are easily operable with your eye to the viewfinder. The viewfinder itself has a match need system for the completely manual exposure and a focus scale.
The exposure meter is coupled to both shutter speed and aperture which makes it easy to set your exposure in either a shutter speed or aperture priority fashion.
Focusing is guesstimate scale focusing. The thing that always puts me off scale focusing cameras is that without any reminder to focus in the viewfinder I usually just forget! But the focusing scale in the viewfinder of the Petri make this far less likely to happen, and the depth of field of a 40mm f2.8 lens mean super accurate focusing isn't necessary.
There are lots of really stylish and/or thoughtful touches like the beautiful rewind crank and the four little metal 'feet' on the baseplate which makes it unlikely to get scratched.
There are a couple of things I don't like: the metering system is turned on when you wind on, and off when you take a picture. The is a bit of a problem if you habitually wind on after every exposure to make sure you're ready for the next shot, because if you shoot like this the exposure meter is always on! But this is just a matter of retraining your muscle memory so you habitually wind on just before taking a shot rather than after.
The focusing dial also extends the collapsable lens, which is a bit time consuming to extend, but this doesn't really matter: you just alway leave the lens extended most of the time... you only collapse the lens for storage while travelling (and even then only if you really want to.
I also don't like the fact that you have to open the camera back in order to change the battery... tough luck if the battery runs out with a film in the camera!
But despite these minor issues, this is a genuinely likeable and usable small camera.
This is the later "Petri Color 35 D" model... but the only different between this and the earlier "Petri Color 35" model is the very slightly faster top shutter speed (1/300th compared to 1/250th) which in practice make no difference.

Crews working for WSDOT are creating a new roadway on SR 203 between Stillwater Hill Road and NE 88th Street. Here you can see the asphalt roller flattening new pavement. This is part of making repairs to an unstable slope between Carnation and Duvall. All lanes of SR 203 are expected to reopen by Monday, Jan. 25.

Very simple camera, fixed focus, manual film transport, no exposure metering at all, even no underexposure warning. And there is probably only one shutter speed. The only comfort is a bright frame Albada finder (with parallax marks) and a flash-ready lamp.
I assume, that the camera provides only 3 apertures. The small one for the 400 ISO setting, the medium one for the 100/200 ISO setting. If you switch the flash on, the aperture opens fully, independent from the ISO setting. So at low light it could be a good idea to switch the flash on, even if there are no batteries for the flash in the camera.

An unserem letzten kompletten Tag haben wir faul am Strand gelegen und Abschied genommen. Zeitig haben wir uns dann am frühen Abend auf nach La Pared gemacht und uns die besten Sonnenuntergangsplätze gesichert. Hier war sie noch da. / On our last complete day we laid on the beach and said good-bye. In the early evening we drove to La Pared to watch the sunset. Here it still shines.

The AMC Eagle is a compact four-wheel drive passenger vehicle manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) model years 1980 to 1987 and Chrysler Corporation, following its acquisition of AMC in 1987, for the 1988 model year.
Introduced in August 1979 for the 1980 model year, the coupe, sedan, and station wagon body styles were based on the AMC Concord.
For 1988, its final model year, only a station wagon was offered, which was marketed as the "Eagle Wagon". However, the name continued to be used by Chrysler Corporation as the Eagle brand of cars through 1998.
The AMC Eagles were the only four-wheel drive passenger cars produced in the U.S. at the time. All models featured "passenger-car comfort, plus 4WD security for all-weather security."Although the description was not in use at the time, the AMC Eagle is recognized as one of the first crossover vehicles.
The objective was for affordable cars offering a comfortable ride and handling on the pavement together with superior traction in light off-road use through AMC's innovative engineering and packaging.
The 1980 Eagle's appearance differed from the Concord's in that the bodies were raised 3 in (76 mm) further off their suspension to afford better ground clearance. To fill in the increased visual space between the tires and wheel wells, AMC used durable Kraton (polymer) plastic wheel arch flares that flowed into rocker panel extensions.
