Lucerne, a compact city in Switzerland known for its preserved medieval architecture, sits amid snowcapped mountains on Lake Lucerne. Its colorful Altstadt (Old Town) is bordered on the north by 870m Museggmauer (Musegg Wall), a 14-century rampart. The covered Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), built in 1333, links the Aldstadt to the Reuss River's right bank.

My first thought was a soil compactor because of the wheels at the ends and in the middle. But I don't know what those things are that are where the wheels should go on a compactor. Maybe for breaking up the soil? Oh well, I just thought it looked kind of cool.

To conclude this short series of old Sydney photos, we'll take a look at the restaurant world.
Mr Wong's Cantonese Restaurant is a huge place, with dining facilities on multiple levels. It is designed to reflect two eras in a converted inner city warehouse: Shanghai prior of the invasion of the Japanese and the rise of Communists; and Prohibition era USA. You'll see some photos from the Prohibition Bar, accessible from Mr Wong's via a secret doorway (of course), in my uploaded collage today. merivale.com/venues/mrwong/
We were there for lunch and the food was as spectacular as the setting.
All these photographs today were taken with the natural lighting and handheld by the Panasonic DMC-FS7 compact camera. If you get a chance to purchase one of these lovely little 10MP pocket cameras, in good secondhand condition, I can tell you it will serve you well.
and arguments. In other words, I want to get married :-)

cercis, compact eastern redbud, 'Ace of Hearts', j c raulston arboretum, ncsu, Raleigh, north carolina
There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
Compact, deployable, autonomous combatant.
These tanks were fielded by a UN-type organisation, which used them as active protective systems in border conflicts. The tanks were air-dropped into a hot-zone, and simply awaited any interlopers.
Successful during their intended lifetimes, they ended up having many of the pitfalls of mines. Several misplaced remnants of long-passed conflicts were stirred to violence by the proximity of tribal bystanders completely unaware of their existence.

This is a funny looking car I saw while touring around Munich. It's a one seater that has four wheels.
This ‘compact-reflex’ SLR camera was manufactured from 1977 onwards by the Japanese company Cosina (named Cosina CSM) for Porst in Nuremberg. Its M42 lens is an outstanding, fast lens that still impresses today with its sharpness and optical performance. CdS light metering and an electromechanical focal-plane shutter were, along with other features, state of the art for their time. It also still works perfectly and is in good condition, having always been well looked after. A flash is also included!
Analogue photographers may not realise just how long Compact Cameras have been de riguer.

Plotosus lineatus subadults in Reunion Island
Striped catfish form compact "balls" such that most predator will be deterred by the innumerable venomous pectoral spines. They do so until they are fully grown, although most of the time the ball will lose many members along the way, and in the end only a few of them remain at adult age.
I love my Sony RX100. It has over 20 MP, can fit in my pocket, has a great lens, and has a killer watercolor feature. I often find myself taking it with me rather than my Canon 40D DSLR. Most reviews say it's the best pocket digital camera you can buy. But do these compact cameras have a future given the advances in phone cameras? Phone cameras today are able to add so much more functionality via software, it's hard to see how these won't be relics.
