This is the St. Joseph North Pier Inner Range Light on Saturday afternoon. I set the film plane parallel to the lighthouse front elevation and shifted the front standard to the left to bring the lighthouse into the image.

A short history of Pest Inner City:
Up to the first third of the eighteenth century the left-bank settlement, the historic centre of the former town of Pest, consisted only of the district lying between today's Liberty Bridge, Chain Bridge, Múzeum körút and Károly körút, that is to say, it extended only as far as today's Kiskörút (Little Boulevard). The town was completely rebuilt and it grew gradually; today, of the original town of Pest, there only remain some parts of the fifteenth-century town walls, and from the eighteenth century, only the churches, as well as a few monasteries and public buildings. In contrast to the Castle District of Buda, which is by-passed by the main traffic of the city, the Inner City, with its shops, offices and important traffic arteries, is part of the city's everyday life.
On the site of today's Inner City Parish Church, in the so-called "Barbarians' land" , a strong watchtower was erected in AD. 294 by the Romans; this they called Contra-Aquincum. At the time of the Magyar Conquest, around 900, the tower was used for defense and around it was built a town which, however, was completely destroyed by the Mongol invasion of 1241.
The new town was built on the Castle Hill in Buda, and Pest remained a kind of suburb, though owing to the Diets being held in the Field of Rákos, in the outskirts of the town, and to the national fairs held in Pest, traffic and commercial life remained busy. In the late fifteenth century Pest was surrounded by walls the site of which is revealed by the remains of some buildings originally built against them: some stones of the walls and of the town gates can still be seen.
In 1541 Pest was captured by the Turks, together with Buda, and its social and economic life declined during the 150 years of occupation. After its liberation, in the early eighteenth century, it received independent city rights and its development was greatly furthered by the rebirth of commerce.
In 1785 the Hungarian University of Nagyszombat (now Trnava, Slovakia) moved to Pest and thanks to this the city became in the next decade the centre of the country's intellectual life However, in 1838 the great Danube flood swept away almost all the old houses. Once reconstructed, the town began to develop by leaps and bounds, leaving Buda far behind. At the turn of the century, when the old Elizabeth Bridge was built, the new buildings along the main roads gave Pest a characteristic eclectic character.
The modern infrastructural development of the city was most impressive. Bridges were built over the Danube, and the first underground railway of the European continent was opened here in 1896. In 1873 electric lighting was brought to the streets. In 1887 trams appeared, followed in 1888 by the first suburban trains; in 1885 the first urban telephone exchange was installed; in 1896 the Post Office used battery-driven vans for delivering parcels; and in 1900 the Royal Hungarian Automobile Club was founded.

Mr. Horniman visited Egypt in 1896 to see the Egypt Exploration Fund that Howard Carter worked for. Mr. Horniman was shown around the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir-el-Bahri. Impressed by the Fund’s work, he made a donation, and was gifted this coffin.
The wooden inner lid features Egyptian icons such as the central winged scarab beetle and eye of Horus, which protect the deceased. The winged goddess below is possibly Isis. The two figures lower down are Osiris, right and Horus, left. The two kneeling women below are possibly Isis and Nephthys. Nephthys was sister to Isis and Osiris, and protected the soul. Often shown together, Egyptologists suggest that Nephthys was a mirror image of Isis; dark versus light.
Animals were important to Ancient Egyptians as they were connected to the gods, for example Horus is shown with a hawk’s head. Can you find more animals on the coffin?

On a May evening in 1977, the armed East German border guard is showing more than a passing interest in me, having parked up his motorcycle to examine what he perceived to be 'unusual and threatening' photographic activities across the opposite side of the border fence to the GDR!

Johannesburg Inner City is supposedly a dangerous place. I am not sure why, but I did conform with the directions of my black driver who took me around the place and kept the car windows closed. We didn't stop at all and all pictures taken within the Inner City limits were taken through the closed window of a car on the move.
I must say, though, I didn't see anything dangerous outside. I saw ruins of buildings and even some ruins of people, I saw poor people going here and there, but I did not feel threatened... It was a Sunday morning, lots of people were on the streets and on the sidewalks, but I saw no strange transaction, no drugs changing hands, no weapons flashed.
I may be wrong but I saw nothing that might have put my life at risk, if at some point I chose to get out of the car and take a walk around this place, as I so very much wanted to do!
Here's the inner backglass out of the machine. The mirror coating around the outside of the glass has done a good job of holding the paint on, but in the middle where there was no mirror (so that the light would shine through) the paint is completely gone.
By combining a medium-resolution picture that I found online with some high-res pictures I took of the parts of this backglass that are intact, plus a LOT of Photoshop, I've put together a 4000x4000 pixel reproduction of the original inner backglass, and will shop around later this week and see if I can find anyone who can print it for me.
At first we were not sure why the bus driver would stop the bus in the middle-of-nowhere, in the desert. Later, we came to know what "singing" in Mandarin meant!
