I had to use that cockpit again!
A small mech, with shield on right arm and blade and flamethrower on the left arm.
In spite of its boxy design, this 1959 White 1500 Compact looked good dressed in the postal blue and white cab with red stripe. Notice the Civil Defense sticker on the door! This photo is one of many in the library of The Western Reserve Historical Society.

Can you guess what is the misterious object that is in this picture?

Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.
Watch out for this little fellow he's got some zing to his sting. You may have a reaction to his sting with itching, rash, welt or all three. When the're not curled up, they look like walking toothbrush's :-) This is a Tussock moth/caterpillar, or larvae stage.
Definitely the best film compact I have ever owned, and probably one of the best film compacts ever. Got mine from The Camera Workshop at Peninsula Plaza -- once I had it in my hands, it was clear just how well-built it was, and how well maintained it had been by its previous owner. A nice tight package with superb mechanical finishing.
Just got back my first roll of film from the developer, and I'm really impressed by the sharpness, colour rendition and exposure of the pics. The most annoying thing about this camera is the fact that you have to re-set the camera's flash settings every time you switch it on if you want to fire without the flash, but I found the flash really well implemented -- it seems to nail the exposure every time, and practically none of my shots suffered from that hard contrast look that typical on-body flashes give you.

The name says it all, This is trully a deluxe camera, very classical in design, but very high quality in terms of build and performance. Everything one needs to take high quality pictures is present: Fujinon lens, automatic parallax correction and a feature inherited from the V series, the focusing is done by means of a wheel, next to the viewfinder, very neat!
Shooting film in the old Compact 35. It’s not been the same since it got wet. (Don’t ask) which killed the light meter so I’m running a seperate light meter from AliExpress which works well. For a camera that’s over 50 years old it works
The most fashionable and widespread of all the camera types nowadays are compact digital cameras, which are now so affordable that almost every household has one. Designed to be stylish, with a moderate number of features they offer far more capacity than traditional, film-based models and give...

What a moment!
Two at the same time. One on my front, one on my back.
Shots with compact sony manual mode.
My collection of 1980's 35mm compact cameras. 2 of them are autofocus, one is a rangefinder and one uses zone focusing.
Compact is a relative term; as dictionaries go, this is pretty big, but compared to the full-size Oxford English Dictionary it's pretty small. This is the whole of the twenty-volume OED in one volume. The paper is very thin and the type is tiny – so small that a magnifying glass comes in the slipcase.

La playa de las ruinas de Tulum, Mexico. Oct/2016
Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan.
It was the site of a Mayan port which was supported by up to 1000 residents before the arrival of the Spanish. The ruin's tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea
Each Mayan city had a specific purpose, and Tulum was no exception. It was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade.
As well as being the only Mayan city built on a coast, Tulum was one of the few protected by a wall.
Made of limestone, the 784-metre wall encloses the site on three sides, is seven metres thick, and varies between three and five metres in height. No doubt this fortification helped preserve the seaport.
Like the questions which surround the decline of the Mayan world, there are several theories as to why a wall surrounds Tulum. One has a Mayan population of 600 on the inside, protected from invaders. Another suggests only priests and nobility were housed within the walls, while peasants were kept on the outside.
After entering the ruins through one of five doorways in the wall, visitors are greeted by a field of gently-rolling hills. Black and grey stone outcroppings, which were once buildings, dot the sun-baked landscape.

A península mexicana de Yucatan, onde ficam as cidades de Cancun e Playa del Carmen, é uma região que foi habitada séculos atrás pela civilização maia. As antigas cidades ocupadas por este povo agora são ruínas preservadas e tornaram-se atrações turísticas muito visitadas. Um dos sítios arqueológicos mais importantes é o de Tulum, a cidade murada que se encontra de frente para o mar do caribe mexicano.
Esta cidade era designada pelos maias pelo nome de Zamá, que significa cidade da aurora. Tulum é também uma palavra maia para barreira ou parede, o que se entende facilmente pois a cidade encontra-se rodeada de espessa muralha protectora.
O primeiro a identificar a cidade foi Juan Díaz, que em 1518 fazia parte da expedição de Juan de Grijalva. A sua descrição de Tulum é a de uma cidade rica e magnífica, à imagem de Sevilha na Espanha. No entanto, o primeiro estudo detalhado do sítio deveu-se aos famosos exploradores John Lloyd Stephens e Frederick Catherwood, que publicaram em 1843 o livro Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
Actualmente, milhares de turistas visitam as ruínas de Tulum diariamente, sobretudo em excursões organizadas. Tulum é o terceiro sítio arqueológico do México mais visitado atrás de Teotihuacan e Chichén Itzá e à frente de Monte Albán.
