The Studebaker Lark is a "compact car" which was produced by Studebaker from 1959 to 1966.
From its introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. In mid-1962, the company dropped "Packard" from its name and reverted to its pre-1954 name, the Studebaker Corporation. In addition to being built in Studebaker's South Bend, Indiana, home plant, the Lark and its descendants were also built in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, from 1959 to 1966 by Studebaker of Canada Limited. The cars were also exported to a number of countries around the world as completed units and completely knocked down (CKD) kits.

Der Studebaker Lark war ein „kompakter“ PKW, den die Studebaker-Packard Corporation von 1959 bis 1962 herstellte. In den Jahren 1963 und 1964 führte die wieder umbenannte Studebaker Corporation die Produktion fort. Darüber hinaus wurde das Modell in den Jahren 1959 bis 1966 auch von der kanadischen Niederlassung Studebaker of Canada Ltd. gebaut. Der Lark und seine Derivate waren die am häufigsten gefertigte Modellreihe von Studebaker, das 1952 seinen 100. Geburtstag feierte und 1966 die Produktion einstellte. Als der Lark entworfen wurde, kooperierte die Studebaker-Packard Corporation mit der Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Company.

My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
Remember when Gentle Giant made the 12 inch versions of the vintage 3 3/4 scale Star Wars figures ?
The one I wanted was this Monster !
It would be cool to suspend it from the ceiling, like it is flying in space ......Hey I can dream about it :)
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".
Shot for Macro Mondays theme "Favourite T.V. Shows"
I had a hard time deciding on what my favourite T.V. show was. I decided that Mad men was probably it. So this is a macro of my wife's very cool vintage style compact. A beauty aid that many of the women of mad men wouldn't have been caught dead without.
Shouting the classic compact 35. Since it got wet the light meter doesn’t work but the cheap AliExpress one seems to so we will give that a go

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames the Vitra Sofa Compact was originally a design intended for their own house in California, but finally went into series production. Unusually high and divided into two horizontal strips, the backrest lends the sofa an interesting profile and clearly sets it apart from the weightiness of traditional sofas. The sofa can be folded up, making it easy to transport. Made from a chromed tubular metal frame with polyurethane foam upholstery. --------- (PAR_0507_3339 - Image copyrighted).
The Ashmolean
The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology. Founded in 1683, it was the world's first university museum. It was built to house the collections given to the museum by Elias Ashmole in 1677.
The world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and time.
The Ashmolean’s collections are extraordinarily diverse, representing most of the world’s great civilisations, with objects dating from 8000 BC to the present day.
Among many riches there is the world’s greatest collection of Raphael drawings, the most important collection of Egyptian pre-Dynastic sculpture and ceramics outside Cairo, the only great Minoan collection in Britain, outstanding Anglo-Saxon treasures, and the foremost collection of modern Chinese painting in the Western world.

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.

My '95 E36 Compact.
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.
