The fortress Grünwald is probably a hidden gem of Munich. It is located in the most expensive and luxurious district of Munich and surrounded by mansions and villas of footballs stars, millionaires, CEOs of several major German corporations and old aristocracy with some money :-)
The fortress got its current shape in 15th century. It was used as a country residence of Bavarian dukes, later as hunting lodge, powder magazine and VIP state prison (apparently not a very harsh one, though - all the prisoners either escaped or got their freedom back quite soon) Now the fortress belongs to the Free State of Bavaria and can be visited daily from 9 till 4 p.m.

The bridge below connects Grünwald with Pullach, the richest community in Germany :-)

I do not know how or why the bears got into the china cabinet but there is going to be lock put onto that quite quickly. Gerrie I can most surely trust, but his other pals? I am not so sure of them.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
Just a simple close-up shot of the corners of £20, £5 and £10 notes. I don’t love money but love the designs and colours on banknotes wherever I come across them around the world.
For a place that hasn't been used in a few months. Voluntary return to the office can begin next week.
Have a great Thursday.
This kind of love is getting expensive
We know how to live, baby
We're luxurious, like Egyptian cotton
We're so rich in love, we're rolling in cashmere
Got it in fifth gear, baby
Diamond in the rough is looking so sparkly
Working so hard every night and day
And now we get the pay back
Trying so hard, saving up the paper
Now we get to lay back
Working so hard every night and day
And now we get the pay back
The pay back, the pay back

Nice to look; but at these prices you could buy a car instead.
To be honest I have never understood the desire for jewellery so expensive you would be afraid to wear it.
Christmas shopping Taunton, Somerset, UK.
The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé that was sold by the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second generation (succeeding the 1939–1948 Lincoln Continental).
As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.
Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its flagship Continental division, with the division phased into Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental) was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunklid.
Intended as a successor to the Lincoln Continental, effectively making its predecessor a Mark I, the Continental Mark II made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955.The Mark II debuted in the United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. With a $9,966 base price (equivalent to $95,100 today), the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($5,700 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($9500 today) for every unit produced
To streamline production, powertrain components were adapted from the Lincoln model line and checked through the division's quality-control program during production. The 368 cubic-inch Lincoln Y-block V8 powered the Mark II, paired with the 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. For 1956, the engines produced 285 hp, increased to 300 hp for 1957
Total productions for the two years produced was 3005 units including about one half dozen preproduction and prototypes.
It was an expensive $10,000L weekend 'sale'! I will drink! lol.

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal-blue, Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long (Oh, oh)
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday
Of all my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us?
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don't have to run day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic Monday
Each winter I crave lettuce and tomatoes - the most difficult and expensive produce that you can buy in our tiny grocery store. Usually the lettuce is spoiled, to the point that half of it goes into the trash bin - and the tomatoes are hard and tasteless. Well this year I have solved that problem. This year I have two hydroponic gardens up and running. Just a few minutes ago I plucked a large sized cherry tomato, and enjoyed a homegrown tomato with good old fashioned taste.
In this image you see just a few of the tomatoes that are growing on one of my plants. I have been told these plants will keep me in a continuous supply for up to nine months - so I should be good until spring!
In another indoor garden, I have romaine lettuce, green onions, and herbs. Now I can garden in the darkest days of winter. :-)
Gold Standard. Hmmm. I am always suspicious of self promotion. Best Burger in town, best coffee, pizza, poutine in town. These are statements, which I do not put much faith in. I did not try. They may be the best, but sometimes GS is just BS. This store is selling $6 sandwiches. Not expensive for Toronto, but nothing special, nothing I could not make at home.

The Limmatquai is the street that runs along the right bank of the Limmat in Zurich's old town. It leads from Bellevue down to Central. At the Limmatquai lie the Grossmünster, the Wasserkirche, many guild houses and the Zurich Town Hall. Most of the houses on the Limmatquai are classified as worthy of protection, and the townscape of the Limmat region as a whole is protected.
King's Cross, London. A lovely old van selling ice cream but the prices are a bit eye watering. It reminded me of these two young ladies in Burnley, Lancashire.
Extremely expensive in 1938, and OMG expensive now, to keep it green and on the road.
1938 Bugatti 3rd Series Type 57C 3 Position Cabriolet, in that 3rd position crouching on the green at Pebble Beach. The 'C' designation comes from the French word for supercharger: Compresseur. The vicious rumor that occupants of the rear seat were consumed by the car has never been confirmed. However, it is hard to see back there.......
Unveiled in 1934, the Type 57 is widely regarded as a masterpiece from the hand of Etorre's son, Jean Bugatti. Designed to replace the Type 49, the new Bugatti was powered by a magnificent 3.3-liter twin-cam straight-eight engine and represented the ultimate in automotive performance and design. Bugatti continually refined the Type 57 throughout its production run resulting in three distinct series of chassis. The final third-series chassis –underpinning the car presented here – featured a number of improvements, as they were constantly tinkering with the engineering.
This car was originally equipped with striking three-position Cabriolet coachwork by Letourneur et Marchand.The company was founded by Jean-Marie Letourneur and Jean-Arthur Marchand in 1905, and by the 1930s was specialising in coachbuilt car bodies for fitting on chassis from luxury automakers such as Duesenberg, Hispano-Suiza, Rolls-Royce and Minerva.
In all, it is believed that only six Type 57s were originally outfitted as a Cabriolet by this prestigious French coachbuilder. Originally finished in green with a lighter, contrasting cove and green leather upholstery, the Cabriolet was delivered to its first owner, S. Jaspart, in November 1938 through Bugatti’s Paris showroom.
It retains it's original colors, and has been restored to an extremely high standard! If you need proof of your wealth and prefer to be conspicuous in your consumption then this is your car!

The top floor had terrified me, quite frankly. Even Michael didn't like it and he's as stoic and calm as they come. We quickly descended to the floor below and walked through the long corridors, lined by these rectangular spaces, each which would have been a room in someone's flat.
In another life.
I always imagine building sites and occasionally these derelict places having wall-to-wall glass when finished. That's never the case - glass is expensive and I guess people need wall space to put stuff against. But still, in my head I could see this as a finished room with the hole in front of me as one giant. It would be marvellous.
1936 Bugatti Atlantic Type 57SC
Most expensive car in the world, this Bugatti sold in 2010 for an estimated $38 - 40 million dollars to Peter Mullin of the Mullin Auto Museum, Oxnard, CA.
Only three Bugatti Atlantic's (a fourth is disputed) were produced. One was destroyed in a train wreck, the other is in the private collection of Ralph Lauren.

A gigantically expensive yacht in Monaco Harbour – how the other half lives… This is all about play on lines, angles and perspective, with some simple maritime colours.
I guess if you are going to spend 20 dollars on fuel to get a train picture you might as well get a pretty one. At least I didn't have to fly here I guess.
Unbeknownst to me, an extremely early 925 went through Oamaru at 5:30 pm today, but I managed to catch it in time to snap the train passing through this coastal vista at Shag Point.
With a short holiday-length train, only the lead loco was running, and the blue DC was a bonus. Managed another three pics before the clouds from the south encroached, but this one wins for me.

“Sewing is as addictive as a drug, twice as expensive, with no rehab, legal and gets you hooked in an instant” – anonymous.
Well, I don’t know about sewing, but I know that collecting Sylko cotton spools is! What started for me as a collection of about a dozen brightly coloured spools has quickly escalated into a collection of several hundred in a multitude of colours (both bright and pastel), and is still growing! In spite of my best intentions of not letting it get out of hand, the number of spools that arrive on a nearly daily basis at the moment is really rather ridiculous even for me, and my partner despairs, as I pursue some of the rarer coloured spools! However I cannot help myself. I just adore all the wide and varying shades and their wonderful names!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 13th of September is "multicoloured collection", and as you may well know, I am a collector of many things. This meant the hardest part of this theme for me was choosing a collection that was brightly coloured enough for this week! I ended up settling upon pieces from my vintage spool collection, choosing an array of brightly coloured cottons including “coral” “gay kingfisher” “yellow” “oriental poppy” and “radiant blue”. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.
The Anchor brand can trace its history back to 1866 when the Clark family adopted the Anchor brand for their embroidery threads manufactured in Paisley, Scotland. Embroidery threads came into being circa 1812 when supplies of silk became unobtainable in the UK due to a blockade by Napoleon. Two weavers, James and Patrick Clark, turned their attention to cotton and managed to produce yarn which was sufficiently fine, smooth and strong to be used instead of silk for weaving. Sewing thread was primarily silk or linen at the time and the Clark brothers developed their cotton yarn into the first cotton sewing thread.
20th June 2024. Built between 1925 and 1935, it was then the most expensive building in the world. It remains a significant London landmark, with its imposing Portland stone exterior and a palatial interior of inlaid marble floors and travertine walls.
Omotesando is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Tokyo. As a major luxury shopping destination, it’s also home to some of the most amazing examples of modern architecture.

Brighton Beach is famous for its 82 brightly coloured 'shacks'. In December this year, one of these shacks sold for well over $330,000.

A cloudy but lovely morning spent with the FFF plus.
When things don't go exactly as planned! I had hoped to use a star tracker for this shot, but, as I hadn't tried it before I wanted to use it i realised that i had left a vital part at home. So it was old school for this shot, lots of short exposures stacked in sequator. And I got a parking ticket at 1am in the morning
The photo challenge of week 38 was “SIGNS”. When I saw this sign at a petrol station along the highway, I thought: more than 2 euros for a liter of petrol (fuel). Ridiculous! So that's why I took this picture, of a really bad sign.

Title: Bad sign - too Expensive!
Face it. Rail fanning is expensive. Like most hobbies, if you try to pursue it for a profit, it's not going to happen. Gas, food, lodging, time, equipment, and vehicle wear and tear are all up front cost to take us to and from our hobby. No matter how many photos we sell to the magazines for "one time use", you'll always be in the red. Now, many of us like to include the drone. I would, too, but I haven't brought myself to that point, yet. However, four days after yesterday shot that I posted on Flickr, I returned to the Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Ohio River bridge with this shot in mind. It all came together with perfect lighting and timing for their train as it returned from Relief, Ohio. This "drone" shot came in the form of a top level parking space in an otherwise empty parking garage adjacent to the bridge in downtown Parkersburg, WV. A decent view to enjoy without looking into a screen. The EMD Geeps humming as they pull the grade with a long train, without hearing buzzing blades. The best part, pulling to the exit gate and sticking the ticket into the slot....."Cash Only" the hand written sign read. Oh, boy, I don't usually have cash on me, but when 50 cents popped up on the screen, I was able to scour that up and drop two quarters in the slot. Drone, bought, used, and paid for. End of story.
