Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
Compacted trash. Here is the problem. I thought that bag was the bag I needed. It was NOT. This was from earlier. The trash gets pushed I of the dumpster and the. Shoved as hard as possible. Older trash is not as destroyed as it’s moved up and falls over. The bag I am looking for is completely smushed and buried in trash. But I had to find it.
Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
(technically equivalent to Panasonic DMC-LC1)
A "compact" camera (roughly as large as a DSLR) with a fast zoom lens and a 2/3" sensor.
The lens diameter is such that the sensor uses only the area near the central axis, so the optical quality is very high.
The sensor quality does not appear to match the that of the glass, as far as I can tell.
Ergonomics are excellent. Zoom, manual focus and f-stop are operated by rings on the lens barrel. The focus ring notches into an AF and AF-Macro stop. The exposure time is set by a dial on the camera body. Mostly, and unusually for a compact camera, the photographer will not be choosing all settings in this way.
The flash can be used in either of two modes, either flashing directly forward (the fairly large distance from the lens should minimize the red-eye-occurrence, or tilted upwards and bouncing its light off the ceiling. I haven't tried the flash, so I don't know how well this works.

Citroën C4
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Citroën C4 is a compact car (C-segment in Europe) produced by French automaker Citroën since autumn 2004. It is currently in its second generation.
The C4 was designed to be the successor to the Citroën Xsara. It is mechanically similar to the Peugeot 308, which was launched in 2007. A revised version, with a new front end, reverse lights, and dashboard revisions, was launched for the 2008/2009 model year.
In January 2010, it was announced that the coupé version was not to be overhauled, but instead replaced with the Citroën DS4.
The C4 scored second place in the 2005 European Car of the Year awards."
First generation (2004–2010)
"To cope with the market, Citroën was dedicated and committed to building a new model that would appeal to many customers. At the Geneva Motor Show in 2004, a concept from the Citroën line's definitive made-bodied coupé revealed the willingness of the French company to employ it in competition. The car was finally unveiled at the Paris show. However, that version was a more domesticated hatchback coupé or five-door.
The C4's design was created by a team that included Donato Coco and Jean Pierre Ploué.
Building on the floor of its cousin, the Peugeot 307, the C4 was immediately made available in two body variants: five-door hatchback and three-door coupé.
The front is common to both versions, with the grille formed from virtual extensions of the central crest. The sedan is much more rounded and features softer shapes, so they can boast a Cd of just 0.28, while the coupe is more angular, with a rear split into two parts, including lights.
The rear window of the coupé is reminiscent of the older Honda CR-X from the early 1990s, as well as the last three-door Mazda 323C.
(...)
At the end of 2008, the C4 hatchback and coupé were subject to a slight cosmetic makeover that involved the front end, which now sported a "mouth" and larger trapezoid shape. The grille was redesigned, making it slightly curved. There were also minor updates in the queue."

Second generation (2010–present)
"The second generation Citroën C4 made its debut at the 2010 Paris Salon before it was launched in September.
The new model was slightly bigger than the last, and was only available with five doors.
A three-door version was omitted by the French company because of the low sales of the previous generation three-door, and to avoid the risk of "cannibalizing" the DS3 sales."

waste recycling compactor doing the business, everything is probably now taking up less space than it was in all the cupboards I had at home.
As fill is added to the trench around the new culvert under SR 532 near Stanwood, workers are continuously compacting it.
The new culvert will improve fish passage in Secret Creek. Right now salmon and steelhead in the creek have to first find and then swim through a 4-foot diameter pipe under the highway. The 18-foot wide and 10-foot tall wider will improve habitat for fish and other wildlife in the area.

Unfortunately, the EXIF is missing. Note that this is an 8s long exposure lit only by a street lantern.
I did some heavy post processing on this one: desaturated all but the coloured applications (I like the rim logos best), meddled with highlights and shadows and got rid of all noise to give it a smooth look.
