This man was among a group of musicians playing on the street near The Prado Museum in Madrid. They were terrific musicians, but I got the idea that they were not exactly wild about photographers for some reason! Still I did manage to sneak a couple of shots!

Balboa Park, site of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, has many ornate buildings remaining and restored for a variety of other uses today. Casa Del Prado shows typical design features.
On December 21, 1977, the National Park Service certified Balboa Park as a national historic site, and assigned it the reference number 77000331.
Casa del Prado or Casa in Balbo Park is a reconstruction of a previous building that existed during the 1915 Pan American Exhibition. This Spanish Colonial building looks grand from the outside, is more ordinary in the interior setting, which is kind of a let down for those expecting the theme to continue to its inner space.
Who would know that something so lovely is a reproduction of an original building design? It doesn't really matter because, when you visit Balboa Park, the complex looks so beautiful and pristine, you just fall in love with the ambience of this huge community park that greets San Diegans and huge numbers of tourists with its many museums, gardens, art exhibits, cafes and restaurants. Del Prado is one of the shining glories of San Diego.
As you wander along a section of the massive Balboa Park building complexes, you come to this building near the Visitors Center.
Casa del Prado was known as the Varied Industries and Food Products Building in 1915. Then it became the Food and Beverage Building in 1935 and now it is called Casa del Prado. Costing just under $100K when first built, it was desingned by Ahitect Carleton M. Winslow and included north and south wings. A sumptuously decorated entrance with Spanish-Colonial baroque garland columns, a centrifugal quatrefoil window and a climatic gable on the east facade flanked on both sides by towers with open belfries and blue and yellow tiled domes gave the appearance of the entry way to a European church. The bishop in a medallion above the central door and a cross in a starburst medallion above the quatrefoil window further promoted the concept of a holy building. While the bishop was removed, the cross has remained along with the addition of fruits, vegetables, Neptune faces, cherubs and bunches of grapes and other items. "Citizen Kane," director Orson Welles used the east facade of the Varied Industries and Food Products Building to demonstrate Kane's passion for acquiring exotic objects.
San Diegans wanted to keep as many of the buildings as they could after the 1915 exhibit, but Varied Industries and Food Products and the Commerce and Industries Buildings were selected for removal from the space. But the war came along and most of Balboa Park was used to house soldiers. Varied Industries and Food Products Building fell into disrepair but found an injection of capital after WWII. In 1968 voters approved Proposition M calling for a bonded indebtedness of $3,500,000 to construct a replacement for the Food and Beverage Building and other facilities. Rechristened as Casa del Prado in 1971, it has served as a meetings space for Garden Foundation and the San Diego Floral Society groups that occupy permanent rooms. The general public can attend floral exhibits in the exhibit hall at the east end of the south building. They can also rent assembly rooms in the south building whenever designated groups are not using them. The outdoor patio is used for major park events. It was the site of a chess tournament during the "Treasures of the Soviet Union" festival in the summer of 1989. When wandering by on most days, as you wonder what's behind those doors of the palatial looking edifice but, you now know that it is just ordinary rooms by most standards, and quite unlike the outside decoration that entices guests to take pictures.

Thunderbird 2 is at a secret location to test the Robo Fighter 330 - a remote controlled fire fighting appliance from Japan.
Maybe some of the technology could be incorporated into a unique rescue vehicle for the Thunderbirds to use.
T2 is a large Soundtech plastic model.
Robo Fighter 330 is a diecast model. 1:43 Scale. Part of a Delprado collection.

The Range Rover is a Delprado model with a modified registration that now at least complies with the UK system even if I can't guarantee the authenticity!

A publicity stunt to show off the variety of vehicles available from Quicksilver Recovery Services. At the bottom is the Scania telescopic low-loader (Oxford Diecast) with the Scania overboom (Cararama/scratchbuilt) and Iveco slide-bed (Del Prado/Cararama hybrid) on its back. On top of the Iveco is our smallest recovery vehicle, the little Mercedes spec lift, which again has a Cararama back end, in this case grafted to a Majorette cab.
I already had a Del Prado Iveco Magirus turntable ladder but a second was included in this batch so there are now two near-identical vehicles with consecutive registrations YD03 HRO and HRP, which are rarely seen together as they are based at different stations. The new one has had its original wheels replaced with a set from an Oxford Diecast lorry but has a couple of other odd differences. There are no Iveco badges but they don't appear to have been removed, and most strangely this one is screwed together while the other is riveted.

Hazzard Range County sheriff’s office Sergeant Jeff Bartly assisted Deputy Clayton Butler and County volunteer Fire Station 7 EMS and extrication ( Eagle Lake ) with vehicle fire in Eagle lake on NM 168 and Bass Dr , Fire put out, Scene investigated and cleared ,Padilla Towing towed vehicle .
This is an unusual addition to the fairground fleet and is fictional as far as I know; no examples of the Renault Kerax have been used by showmen although a few Premiums with similar cabs are known. It started life as a fire brigade command unit by Del Prado, but as I already had one of those and didn't need another I decided to rebody it with the crane and flatbed from an Automaxx model.
Looks like a wheel change has taken place along with some regular maintenance.

The Iveco crew-cab recovery vehicle is now complete and resplendent in Quicksilver livery. The conversion actually proved easier than I thought and it has turned out very well. The light bar on the cab came from an Oxford Diecast Scania and on the back is a Daimler DS420 from my wedding car fleet. Note the registration 'LIFTA'.

THE HAZZARD RANGE HERALD
On Sunday March 26 ,2023 Hazzard Range County Sheriff’s office Deputy Clayton Butler, Eagle Lake State Park Ranger Nathen Baca assisted County volunteer Fire Station 7 EMS and extrication ( Eagle Lake ) with a structure fire on CCC rd in Oasis cove area . Station 7 Fire Chief Davis Hokrer told the Herald that the State fire marshal office is investigating the cause of the fire at one of the historic pavilions .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note not reported in the paper ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oasis cove area has 5 newer ( 1970 to 2005 ) building that are state park there is also 26 CCC ( Civilian Conservation Corps ) era buildings ,including 21 cabins that were built for tourists and still used for that today .The CCC buildings are managed by a local company who also operates all of Eagle lake marinas
Cattle Cove marina is on west side of lake next to community of Eagle lake
Oasis cove Marina is on east side of lake and is biggest of three
Narrow cove marina ,is the northern Eagle lake boat ramp and is closed because of the low lake levels ,but might open this year. The Marina has stay open just been move many times though .
CCC Rd is named after Civilian Conservation Corp .
I don't think any real-life brigade could justify this many aerial appliances but they seem popular with the model makers in 1/76 scale. On the back row are Iveco Tector YD03 HRP (Del Prado) and MAN/Angloco G972 CVY (Cararama with Corgi cab). In the foreground is VY 5022, the preserved Leyland TLM (Oxford Diecast), with Magirus-Deutz/Rosenbauer B955 EVY (another Del Prado) and Scania/Angloco Y736 PDN (Automaxx/Cararama hybrid) alongside.
Although this Del Prado model uses the same style of Renault Kerax cab as the command unit, strangely it is actually a different casting and is slightly larger at 1/72 scale. With its all-wheel drive, roof-mounted monitor and external rollcage over the cab, this Gicar-bodied foam tender is a big and imposing beast, perhaps more likely to be found at an airport or chemical plant than in a local authority fire brigade.
