Consegues ouvir a maré...
Na solidão a que te entregaram...
Silêncios...
Consegues ouvir...?
__________________________________________________________
Dei-te a solidão do dia inteiro.
Na praia deserta, brincando com a areia,
No silêncio que apenas quebrava a maré cheia
A gritar o seu eterno insulto,
Longamente esperei que o teu vulto
Rompesse o nevoeiro.

jsc2025e034457 (March 18, 2025) -- The official Artemis II mission crew patch. The Artemis II test flight begins when a mighty team launches the first crew of the Artemis generation. This patch designates the mission as “AII,” signifying not only the second major flight of the Artemis campaign, but also an endeavor of discovery that seeks to explore for all and by all. Framed in Apollo 8’s famous Earthrise photo, the scene of the Earth and the Moon represents the dual nature of human spaceflight, both equally compelling: The Moon represents our exploration destination, focused on discovery of the unknown. The Earth represents home, focused on the perspective we gain when we look back at our shared planet and learn what it is to be uniquely human. The orbit around Earth highlights the ongoing exploration missions that have enabled Artemis to set sights on a long-term presence on the Moon and soon, Mars. Credit: NASA

Prominent II is one of the best mechanically and optically design Rangefinder with interchangable lens system camera, the first of this type and has a unique appearance.
It was made by Voigtlander for the competition with Leicas and Contaxes.
It had a very special and unique reflex-housing part and turnit finder as accessories,
Voigtländer is one of the the world's oldest companies for optical instruments. Founded by Johann Christoph Voigtländer in the year 1756 in Vienna (Austria), it was the first factory for optical instruments and precision mechanics there.
1931 Voigtländer entered the mass market with the BESSA camera for 6x9 format.
1939 the VITO, their first camera for 35mm film, was well received by the customers.
1970 Voigtländer was merged with Zeiss-Ikon.

PEOPLE COME HERE for the serenity. They absorb the energy and react accordingly. There were very seldom times when I met bad spirited individuals here. God help them retrieve their inner peace!

Ho vissuto molto, e ora credo di aver trovato cosa occorra per essere felici: una vita tranquilla, appartata, in campagna. Con la possibilità di essere utile con le persone che si lasciano aiutare, e che non sono abituate a ricevere. E un lavoro che si spera possa essere di una qualche utilità; e poi riposo, natura, libri, musica, amore per il prossimo. Questa è la mia idea di felicità. E poi, al di sopra di tutto, tu per compagna, e dei figli forse. Cosa può desiderare di più il cuore di un uomo?

Second time I've seen this one out and about on a weekday.
Had done approaching 132k miles at its last MoT test in 2020, since when it has taken advantage of being exempt.

Bishop Creek Canyon, Eastern Sierras
After three days of camping and photographing as much of Bishop Creek as I could, I think I preferred the reflections at Intake II more than anywhere else. On the final morning, the air was brisk and clear and the water was calm over the pond. I walked the dirt road that runs around Intake II and looked for interesting compositions. Its harder than it seems to find an interesting angle. Something you don't see every season. ;) I used the branches of the aspens that lined the bank of the pond to frame the reflections and distant aspens and the evergreens. I think it worked well to encompass the whole scene.

There are various lens/shutter combinations of the Edinex II. Some cameras have hinged back for easy loading. Some cheaper versions have fixed lens.
Early Edinex was the same with Adox Adrette. Some models were sold in the USA as Midget Marvel, and Candid Midget altough not marked as such. Edinex cameras present some identification problems because most do not bear any model name on the camera, but only in catalogs and advertising.The issue is further muddied by the use of different model designations for the same camera by different advertisers. In addition the adds use various names for Edinex II, like Edinex, Edinex I, Edinex-S.
It is best to ID of your camera that searching the McKeown's 12.ed., 2005, pp.1001-1002.

We were able to sail on Queen Mary II on our return from the Isle of Bute instead of using the ferry. The weather had turned nasty but permitted a shot of the rainbow from the deck. 1/6/75.
I built something!
In the 1990’s and up to 2005 if I remember correctly, LEGO had a small KÖF II shunter locomotive in their German location in Hohenweststedt.
I always wanted to build it, had the stickers ready for years, and during the current craze of building trains, what ifs and so on for my kid, I simply got started with it, trying to build it like I’d build an official set again.
I failed miserably.
Turns out that if you want to keep this thing somewhat correct looking, there is no way building it as a (hypothetical) LEGO set. At least not motorized (but what’s a train without a motor?).
So I gave up and built it like I used to build before I started at LEGO, heavily inspired by how Michael Jasper built his Köf III loco (probably 15 years ago, when he found that perfect ballance between fanbuilds and playability for trains: brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=161474 ) and this is what I ended up with.
There are some things that I’ve seen before, like for example the cups for lighs were first used like that by Duq I think, and although I had an alternative idea for them, I decided that I want it hillarious instead of 100% accurate. There are so many LEGO Köfs out there that it’s difficult to reinvent the wheel anyway.
It’s not too crazy buildingwise, but it would be impossible to launch in it’s current state as it’s too fragile.
Looking at pics, I’m thinking that the lower edge of the cabin should be minislopes, but it looks wrong when built, so I ended up with these bows.
I decided that I’d rather have an engine compartment and the snout three wide than that slanted nose that starts too wide, and ends too narrow, and completley wrong engine bay covers, the handrails that run along the top edge of the snout kind of help to cheat the width there a bit. I made two grilles. The yellow uses a sticker though to mask off the black edge of the plates underneath. No idea which one is better.
I didn’t forget the doors, I simply didn’t build them, it would require some tweaks and loosing the minifig, and I find trains that don’t have the space for a dude pointless. These things were shunting at snail’s speeds anyway, I doubt the doors were closed much in summer anyway.
I also deliberatley lost the two hand rails on each side of the door opening, I had them, looked dumb, made the loco wider without adding much detail, the LEGO logo would have to be smaller... Meh.
I also decided to give the running boards a wooden look, some model manufacturers make them look like wood, some don’t, I seem to see wooden planks on some of the pictures of the original, but it might aswell be rust. I don’t know.
After visiting Auschwitz I in March 1941, it appears that Himmler ordered that the camp be expanded, although Peter Hayes notes that, on 10 January 1941, the Polish underground told the Polish government-in-exile in London: "the Auschwitz concentration camp ...can accommodate approximately 7,000 prisoners at present, and is to be rebuilt to hold approximately 30,000." Construction of Auschwitz II-Birkenau—called a Kriegsgefangenenlager (prisoner-of-war camp) on blueprints—began in October 1941 in Brzezinka, about three kilometers from Auschwitz I. The initial plan was that Auschwitz II would consist of four sectors (Bauabschnitte I–IV), each consisting of six subcamps (BIIa–BIIf) with their own gates and fences. The first two sectors were completed (sector BI was initially a quarantine camp), but the construction of BIII began in 1943 and stopped in April 1944, and the plan for BIV was abandoned.
SS-Sturmbannführer Karl Bischoff, an architect, was the chief of construction. Based on an initial budget of RM 8.9 million, his plans called for each barracks to hold 550 prisoners, but he later changed this to 744 per barracks, which meant the camp could hold 125,000, rather than 97,000. There were 174 barracks, each measuring 35.4 by 11.0 metres (116 by 36 ft), divided into 62 bays of 4 square metres (43 sq ft). The bays were divided into "roosts", initially for three inmates and later for four. With personal space of 1 square metre (11 sq ft) to sleep and place whatever belongings they had, inmates were deprived, Robert-Jan van Pelt wrote, "of the minimum space needed to exist".
The prisoners were forced to live in the barracks as they were building them; in addition to working, they faced long roll calls at night. As a result, most prisoners in BIb (the men's camp) in the early months died of hypothermia, starvation or exhaustion within a few weeks. Some 10,000 Soviet prisoners of war arrived at Auschwitz I between 7 and 25 October 1941, but by 1 March 1942 only 945 were still registered; they were transferred to Auschwitz II, where most of them had died by May.
The first gas chamber at Auschwitz II was operational by March 1942. On or around 20 March, a transport of Polish Jews sent by the Gestapo from Silesia and Zagłębie Dąbrowskie was taken straight from the Oświęcim freight station to the Auschwitz II gas chamber, then buried in a nearby meadow. The gas chamber was located in what prisoners called the "little red house" (known as bunker 1 by the SS), a brick cottage that had been turned into a gassing facility; the windows had been bricked up and its four rooms converted into two insulated rooms, the doors of which said "Zur Desinfektion" ("to disinfection"). A second brick cottage, the "little white house" or bunker 2, was converted and operational by June 1942. When Himmler visited the camp on 17 and 18 July 1942, he was given a demonstration of a selection of Dutch Jews, a mass killing in a gas chamber in bunker 2, and a tour of the building site of Auschwitz III, the new IG Farben plant being constructed at Monowitz.
Use of bunkers I and 2 stopped in spring 1943 when the new crematoria were built, although bunker 2 became operational again in May 1944 for the murder of the Hungarian Jews. Bunker I was demolished in 1943 and bunker 2 in November 1944. Piper writes that plans for crematoria II and III show that both had an oven room 30 by 11.24 metres (98.4 by 36.9 ft) on the ground floor, and an underground dressing room 49.43 by 7.93 metres (162.2 by 26.0 ft) and gas chamber 30 by 7 metres (98 by 23 ft). The dressing rooms had wooden benches along the walls and numbered pegs for clothing. Victims would be led from these rooms to a five-yard-long narrow corridor, which in turn led to a space from which the gas chamber door opened. The chambers were white inside, and nozzles were fixed to the ceiling to resemble showerheads. The daily capacity of the crematoria (how many bodies could be burned in a 24-hour period) was 340 corpses in crematorium I; 1,440 each in crematoria II and III; and 768 each in IV and V. By June 1943 all four crematoria were operational, but crematorium I was not used after July 1943. This made the total daily capacity 4,416, although by loading three to five corpses at a time, the Sonderkommando were able to burn some 8,000 bodies a day. This maximum capacity was rarely needed; the average between 1942 and 1944 was 1,000 bodies burned every day.
