The Silver Dollar City groundskeepers keep things blooming throughout the year. These Compact Innocence (Nemesia fruticans) blossoms are used all through the park.

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".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565

Locomotive History
Built at Crewe works it entered traffic in March 1964 as D1568, allocated to Tinsley. It would spend the next nine years wandering around the Eastern Region with spells at Immingham (1964, 1965, 1971), Finsbury Park (1964), March (1965), Norwich (1968) and Tinsley (1969) until transferred to the London Midland Region at Bescot in July 1973. Its stay at Bescot was brief and after a two month stay it transferred to Crewe where it would remain for the next seventeen years until its last transfer to Tinsley (its original depot) in July 1990. It was withdrawn from Tinsley in April 1991 and was broken up by CF Booth, Rotherham in February 1994.

Agfa Compact, with Agfa Solinar 2.8/39. Introduced in 1980, it has a winder for film advance and the motor also moves the lens out and in, a very advanced feature in those days.
I bought this copy with jammed main switch, the shifter on the right side which also covers the viewer window. "Jammed main switch? Easy to repair!" I thougt. A complete misjudgement. This small camera (it is really compact) is jam-packed with tooth wheels, rods and levers, mostly unsecured, they just fall out if the camera is tilted at the wrong moment. You'll get a sophisticated puzzle.
Perhaps you know that some Agfa Sensors have a peculiarity: the rewinding is done with the advance lever. When you open the back, a part the bottom pops out and you can see the complicated mechanism. The coupling to the film cartridge also swings out, so the camera can be made more compact. Though the Agfa Compact has a winder for rewinding the film, it has that complex mechanism. No wonder, that most Compacts are out of order.
End of the story: I assembled the rest of the camera to take this picture, I have lots of small parts left ...
UPDATE: found a working copy and loaded it immediately with a roll of film. It's really a special model; it's nice, but I have to fight a little bit with the viewfinder and its brilliant frame, and every time the motor driven lens extended I thought, it could be the last time. The exposure meter is very sensitive to back light, only a small source of light in the picture causes underexposure, a button for back light compensation would be really appropriate. On the other hand, the lens itself can handle strong back light very confident.
The results were somewhat disappointing, colors were dull and the contrast low, but I blame the film for it, a Kodak Farbwelt 200 (although "Farbwelt" means "world of colors"). Sharpness is a mixed bag: some pictures taken under cloudy conditions are very sharp, some pictures at bright sunlight are not.
Examples:
For sharpness: you can easily read the "10" on the signs in the background.

Double exposures project with Denise! June 2019.
I used a Pentax Espio and shot a whole roll of Kodak Gold 200 35mm film. Then I rewound it and sent it to Denise who took her photos over the top using a Canon AT-1. I was at home in Oxfordshire in the UK and Denise was in Wichita, Kansas USA!

Als diese Kamera 1981 erschien, war sie die kompakteste Kleinbildkamera der Welt mit Motor und Belichtungs-Vollautomatik. Auch das Gehäuse-Design war richtungsweisend und das Prinzip des motorisch versenkbaren Objektivs mit Schutzabdeckung bewährt sich auch im digitalen Zeitalter. Betätigt wird dieser Mechanismus durch einen vertikalen Schiebeschalter, der bei geschlossener Linse auch den Sucher verdeckt. Das Solinar ist ein Vierlinser mit der Lichtstärke 2,8 und der Brennweite 39 mm. Die Entfernung wird manuell eingestellt - Nahgrenze 1 m. Die Programmautomatik steuert den Verschluss von 1/45 bis 1/1250 Sekunde und die Blende von 2,8 bis 22.
Es gibt ein passendes Blitzgerät, das seitlich angeflanscht werden kann (wie bei der Olympus XA). Der Filmtransport-Motor schafft ungefähr 1 Bild pro Sekunde. Der Messbereich geht von 25 bis 400 ASA, im Sucher wird ausreichendes Licht durch ein grünes Signal angezeigt, sonst rot.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch zwei AAA-Batterien.
Offensichtlich war die Agfa compact als Fortführung der Optima sensor electronic-Reihe gedacht, denn man nannte sie zuerst "Optima 935 sensor". Weil sie aber doch auf einem völlig neuen Konzept beruhte, verzichtete Agfa auf die namentliche Integration in die ältere Reihe – sie hieß nun einfach "Agfa compact".
Dieses feine Gerät war übrigens die letzte in Deutschland entwickelte und hergestellte Agfa-Kamera.

This was a tiny nymph walking along a fence rail. Such funny proportions! Possibly Rhyparochromidae?
Going thru some old archive photos I came upon a photo of a Max Occupancy sign at one of the exhibition halls at Chicago's McCormick Place. With all the talk of Social Distancing, it is good to remember what we have to look forward to when this is all said and done, and the next Auto Show comes in 2021
Another M1911 pistol! This is the 'commando compact'. It is available in 10mm auto and 45 ACP
A bit rough on some points, but i think it is one of the best 1911 pistols i have ever made. Maybe the best.
This angled shot helps us better understand the type of snowflake known as the "capped column" . . . you are looking at two snow crystals connected by an axle (the column) . . . the lower flake is a stellar plate and the upper flake is a clear hexagonal plate . . . in the middle of the upper flake you'll notice a smaller hexagonal outline which is the joint between the upper flake and the columnar axle . . . notice also how the vertices of the upper flake line up in between the spokes of the lower flake . . . this is an attribute of capped columns . . . the two flakes have a 30 degree offset to each other . . . are snowflakes not amazing?
Flake Type: Capped Column, Hexagonal Plate over Stellar plate
Size: App 2mm and 5mm
Device: Canon A1000, LBS, SS1, slight crop
Settings: P Mode, ISO 200, EV -1/3
