Uno de mis sueños era fotografiar al tren Felipe II, por la estética que tiene y por lo que significa para los amantes del ferrocarril. El día 26/10/2019, pude cumplir ese sueño , pude capturar al famoso Felipe II en una de mis estaciones favoritas como es la estación Príncipe Pío de Madrid o conocida también como Estación del Norte, sin duda el escenario no podía ser mejor por la historia que tienen ambos.
Temple II was built shortly after 700 CE. It stands opposite Temple I in a twin pyramid arrangement. It is 38 meters (125 ft) high; it would be the same height as Temple I if its roof comb was still intact. It also is known as Temple of the Mask for the two eroded masks that flank the central stairway. In view is the back side of the pyramid--the wooden structure allows visitor to climb to the top for superb views of the Great Plaza.
Tikal is one of the grandest sites of the Maya civilization, located in Guatemala's northern rainforest lowlands. While some of the monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BCE, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period (about 200-900 CE). At its peak, the city covered an area greater than 16 square kilometers (6.2 sq miles), included about 3,000 structures, and may have had as many as 90,000 inhabitants. During this time, the city dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically, and militarily, while interacting with other states throughout Mesoamerica. Tikal gradually lost both population and influence after 850, and by 950 the city was mostly deserted.
Figures in these reliefs from King Ashur-nair-pal II's palace sometimes show headbands and wrist bands decorated with rosettes.When worn by genies they may identify them as personal attendants of the king/ The rosette may have been associated with the goddess Ishtar.
Brochure covering the introduction the new for '78 (or late '77) Corcel MK-II, or just Corcel II
I don't know why I like the Corcel so much. It's a four cylinder car, with a Renault-based machanical components, but I like it even tough. It's twice the car as any Opala, any day of the week, has great quality, and it's very relieble motoring. if you drive carefully, 15 or even 17 Kms can be covered with just one liter of gasoline. The suspension is very confortable, long lasting and trouble free. The Corcel was not fast, but was great motoring for the money.

1940s (East) German Peerflekta II
stuck/gummed-up shutter :(
This was my my step-mom's father's (my step-grandpa, if you will). He bought it just after World War II and used it into the '50s. Then boxed it away for decades. Unfortunately, it wasn't stored well and by the time it got to me, everything was stuck and it was filled with mold. So, i cleaned and exercised it and most everything started working ok.
The first mistake i made was attempting to clean the mirror, which pretty-much completely removed the mirrored coating and left me with a just a peice of glass and an extremely dim viewfinder. But it still worked.
The 2nd and fatal mistake was attempting to repair the shutter. All of it's spring-loaded timing shutters were stuck (which left me with just 1/25, 1/50, and 1/200 of a second to shoot with). So, i did some exploratory surgery to get a good look at the clockwork mechanisms. and everything seemed it order so i added a couple drops of electric-shaver oil and exercised the lower shutter speeds. For about 30 seconds it worked perfectly, then the oil oozed onto the shutter blades and gummed the whole damn thing up. now it doesn't function at all and i haven't messed with it since.
sad.

THE biggest live exercise of its kind ever held in Greater Manchester – Exercise Triton II – came to an end this morning (Friday, July 16, 2016) after months of intense planning.
Around 36 organisations across the region and nationally have been taking part in this major emergency planning exercise which saw dozens of emergency vehicles at sites across Greater Manchester and Chinook helicopters flying across the skies.
The complex scenario used was designed to test how local authorities, emergency services and other partners are equipped to tackle a major emergency working together.
Participating ‘players’ also included the military, government, health and utility companies, as well as voluntary agencies.
The exercise started on Monday, July 11, 2016, with ‘warnings’ from the Met Office regarding adverse weather and from the Environment Agency about the growing risk of regional flooding.
The emergency services, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and partners put procedures in place to ensure that where possible properties and critical infrastructure were protected and the public were warned. This theme was carried on through Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
To ensure that both players and plans were tested to their full, a dramatic scenario developed on Thursday, July 14, whereby the bank on the Dove Stone Reservoir in Oldham was breached and water cascaded through a number of boroughs within Greater Manchester.
This meant that evacuation procedures had to be put in place and rest centres set up. Later in the day, a coach ploughed into the River Tame in a mock crash and a full-scale search and rescue operation was carried out.
Paul Argyle, GMFRS’ Deputy County Fire Officer and Chair of Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, said: “Exercise Triton II was a hugely complex emergency planning exercise and I would like to thank all of the agencies that have taken part this week.
"This was a very detailed scenario which had impacts across every part of the region and necessitated a full range of partners taking part.
"The scale of the destruction and chaos in the exercise was deliberately designed to test the region at full stretch.
"We have to do this to ensure we are well prepared to deal with any future real-life event or disaster that might occur – and it is also invaluable that those taking part got the chance to practise essential response skills that would be used during a major incident like this.
"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who took part in this exercise. The patience and understanding of local residents and communities on Thursday (as response plans went into effect at 'live' sites) was also greatly appreciated.
“All players have now been 'stood down'. Our next task is to evaluate how the exercise went, step by step. We will want to find out what worked well and crucially to identify and learn any lessons that could help us in the future in real-life situations. I would like to point out that incidents as extreme as this are highly unlikely, but ensuring we practice our response means that we are ready to respond to a variety of scenarios."
