A Manhattan-bound (D) train descends the grade from Smith-9th Sts with the iconic Lower Manhattan skyline in the background.
(D) trains were routed via the 8th Avenue and Culver Lines to Church Ave and (F) trains via the 4th Avenue and West End Lines to Coney Island due to track work on the 53rd Street Line. The connection between the 8th Avenue and 6th Avenue Lines is only for the local tracks, thus (D) trains couldn't operate via 8th Avenue over the Manhattan Bridge.
The (D) service did used to run this way though, as shown by my 1948 Board of Transportation subway map.

▶ The last time a Washington, D.C. Major League baseball team won the World Series was, in fact, the only time: 1924, when the Washington Senators, of the American League, defeated the New York Giants.
In 1925 and 1933, the Senators would win the American League pennant, but lose in the World Series. Those would be the last two occasions of a postseason championship for a Washington D.C. baseball team (even though the Montreal Expos, who became the current Washington Nationals in 2005, did win the National League East, in 1981, before losing the NLCS to the Los Angeles Dodgers).
Will there be a new pennant in 2014?
**************
▶ UPDATE: No, there wouldn't be a pennant that year, but it did happen in 2019!
▶ UPDATE update:
On 23 July 2020, a World Championship banner was raised to honor the Nats' World Series Championship of 2019 over the Houston Astros. Unfortunately, Nationals Park was empty of fans, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Instruction manuals for camera, exposure meter and lenses with preset diaphragm.
Content of an inconspicuous Revue leatherette camera bag from the Seventies (besides a very incongruous Beroflex 2.8/35). The camera obviously has a standard problem. While all gears (long shutter speeds, self-timer) are working fine, the shutter curtains are traveling erraticly, especially the first one often stops 5 mm before its final position. I found advice on the net: when the curtains are renewed, all trouble will go away. Would be a nice challenge, to find a cloth for the curtains, or the correct tension for the spools without shutter speed tester. And though that camera from the early fifties with its built-in prism was the roll model for SLRs for decades, it is still charming. The viewer screen is just a ground glass without Fresnel rings, so it has a hot spot in the center. Nevertheless, you can focus correctly and colors are brilliant, if there is enough light. Meanwhile I think, that viewer screen in some AF-SLRs are *too* bright, and therefore manual focusing is more difficult. The image in the viewer is surrounded by a "bright frame", the instruction manual explains, that the frame has a size of 20 x 30 mm, so that everything of your subject will be on your photo for sure.
Prices in a West German catalog of the early Fifties: Pentacon with Schacht Travenar 2.8/50: 592,- Deutsche Mark, Exakta Varex with 2.8/50: 600,- DM.
When I removed the front ring in the filter thread of the Tessar for proper cleaning I was surprised to find a second one. I knew that there are "masked" lenses from Carl Zeiss Jena, but not that it is that simple. If you have an old CZJ lens with two slots in the front ring, you certainly have one of those. The reason for that was a lawsuit between Zeiss east and Zeiss west. Zeiss west demanded the ownership of names like Tessar and Sonnar, and won. So for the export to western countries the according lenses of Zeiss east were called "T" and "S", or like here, have other fanciful names. That lawsuit is also the reason, why that Contax was renamed with Pentacon.
BTW, the serial numbers of the two rings are different (shocking!).
Tessar lens:
SN: 3857298
SN of Abbe Ring: 3805127

The Meyer 2.8/100 is a classical triplet, designed by Stefan Roeschlein already in the 1930ies. It's a later version, without "V", and actually it can be very sharp when focused ;)

I saw I shot ... despite the wrong settings on my camera ... left over from a cloudy day interior shoot at Rutherford House. Thanks to CS5 and the guidance of my buddy Hugh I managed to save this gem.

Côte d’Ivoire, 2020: UNICEF staff and schoolchildren take part in Green School activities in Gonzagueville, a suburban of Abidjan. As part of the activities, children received environmental advice, planted and watered trees and seeds and learned how to wash their hands properly. Green School initiatives in the country have been implemented by UNICEF along with young champions, to ensure healthy environs for all. On this World Environment Day, UNICEF promotes the right, for every child, to a clean environment.

Boeing 757-225, LTU International Airways. Delivered to Eastern Air Lines as the 117th 757 off the line in December 1986, this aircraft initially went to LTE in Spain in February 1990 as EC-390, later EC-ETZ. It then passed to LTU Sud in October 1993 before consolidation with the main LTU company in April 1998. Here it sports LTU titles with LTU Sud colours, and unlike many LTU 757s is RR powered. It was sold to Atlasjet in May 2001 as TC-OGB, then was intended for Jet2 as G-LSAF in October 2006, but instead went to Varig Log as a freighter, PR-LGK, by July 2007, until March 08. Then to Arrow Air as N689GX from July 09 until June 10, when ferried to Marana, later Roswell for storage. Still stored in 2017.

Penyal d'Ifac is a massive limestone outcrop emerging from the sea in the town of Calpe, rising to 332 metres at the peak.
Of course I only discovered this view of the rock on the last day we were in Calpe, and there was a large bank of clouds which stopped the colours of sunrise from lighting up the clouds. but sometimes it's nice to get a more understated image!
Le cavallette sole
sorridono in mezzo alla gramigna gialla;
i moscerini danzano nel sole
trema uno stelo sotto una farfalla.
