Just North of Benavente on the side of Motorway A-6 there is a huge scrap yard complex, with thousands of trucks, vans, cars, sand trucks, cranes, agriculture machinery etc etc. I've never seen such a big area of inactive vehicles.

The Renault Siete/R7 was developed by FASA-Renault, Valladolid for the Spanish domestic market only. It was based on the 1972 R5 Hatchback, designed by Michel Boué.
The main difference was the extended boot which made the car a regular 4-door saloon. The chromed metal bumpers instead of plastic ones at the R5 were another typical R7 feature.
The R7 was slightly restyled in 1979.
1108 cc.

Production R7: 1974-1984.

The revolutionary DS/ID Berline was introduced in Oct. 1955.
The first estate version was presented in Oct. 1958 but available just one year later. The roof rack was not only functional but was also part of the stability of the body.
Designed by Flaminio Bertoni & ing. André Lefèbvre.
The new front with double headlights behind glass was introduced in Sept. 1967.
In Summer 1971 these door handles would be restyled.
Production DS/ID Series: 10/1955-4/1975.
Production Phase II: Sept. 1967-April 1975.
There's nothing written on the backside of this postcard. I belief this card was designed by Karel Suyling (1926-2014).
Between 1958 and 1971 he was responsible for the advertisement styling of Citroën Nederland and he had designed countless newspaper adverts, books, cards and the company style of Citroën Nederland.
He developed his own style in which the image played an important role.
From the same series I also have cards with a 2CV AK, 2cv AZU, Ami 6 Berline and Break, DS Berline and Dyane.

Seen on a 1958 SIMCA Vedette Beaulieu Limousine Phase II.
The basic design for the Vedette-Series came from Ford, Detroit, but the finishing off was done by Fabio Luigi Rapi (It, 1902-?). The Vedette had all luxury of those days incorporated.
In the first years the Vedette Series was also sold in the Netherlands and Germany as Ford Vedette.
For 1958 a restyle for the tail and front was done (2nd generation Vedette). Also received the body a new panoramic windscreen.
The Beaulieu was the cheapest of the Vedette Phase II range.
After 1961 production was continued in Brazil.

Airmen from the 23rd Civil Engineer Squadron simulate extinguishing a fire during an HC-130J Combat King II fire egress and personnel extrication during exercise FT 19-04, April 16, 2019, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. During the exercise, personnel were evaluated on how well they defended and recovered the base from ground-opposition forces, as well as mortar and missile attacks, while donning mission oriented protective gear, proving they can also protect themselves from any chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear agents.

In 1978 PSA, the company of Citroën and Peugeot, had taken over Talbot from Chrysler Europe.
Later on, in 1985, PSA decided to discontinue the Talbot brand but then the development of the successor of the Talbot Horizon was already far on scheme. Peugeot couldn't ignore the efforts and tried to incorporate this new car in their own model range along with the successful 205 and 305 mid-class range. Then not '306' but '309' was chosen to emphasize this new model as a being a Simca/Talbot inheritance.
In the UK these cars were quite popular, maybe also because the 309 was produced in the old Rootes Group plant in Ryton.

The first phase of South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project (SBSPRP) work in the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve (ELER) played out between the San Mateo Bridge approach to the north and the Old Alameda Creek Flood Control Channel to the south. After several years of remarkable Phase I progress, the SBSPRP is now starting a Phase II set of ELER projects. These will be largely sited south of the Old Alameda Creek Flood Control Channel and north of the Coyote Hills. I am expanding my photographic coverage of the area with the idea of capturing a set of “before” photographs taken before Phase II interventions. Last Sunday Claudia and I headed out to Salt Pond E6C, which proved to be an interesting subject.
The ExC ponds are a relatively compact group of salt evaporation ponds arranged along the eastern flank of Turk Island, the northernmost outlier of the Coyote Hills. Pond E3C has an intriguing salt work ruin in its center (Plummer Bros. Salt Works, c. 1869?) while E1C and E2C have a close relationship with Turk Island. My “Bush Past Prime” photographs were taken in E2C. However, the target of this session was Salt Pond E6C, which I have not visited before, and its neighboring ponds E4 and E5 to the north as well as E4C and E5C to the south.
This was a somewhat strange day for photography. What looked like an inversion layer kept a hazy atmosphere of water vapor near the ground. We started under dead calm conditions and then got the 7.5-foot Rokkaku aloft as a 5 mph breeze arrived. Once again I was thankful for the relatively light weight of my new Canon EOS-M rig. By the end of my 1-1/2 hour photo session the wind had freshened to 14 mph or so and the Rokkaku was straining under the load. It is always nice to get the gear back down on the ground under such circumstances.
The images from this session proved entertaining. Salt Pond E6C itself was near dry with colorful red water in its borrow ditches. I image that it had a lacy white crust of salt before our recent rains but during this session the levees and exposed pond plateau were earth colored and somewhat moist. Salt Ponds E4 and E5 to the north were green with shades that reminded me of a 1950s color palette while E4C and E5C to the south sported different and more vivid shades of green. In many of the oblique photographs there is a color gradient ramping from the color of pond water to sky blue as the viewing angle becomes more grazing. The gradient is particularly visible in this session because low winds kept the pond surfaces relatively still and mirror like. The entire landscape is dotted with duck hunter’s blinds
