I was very pleased to get a couple of images in this months Digital Photo.
Especially pleased to get my first cover shot. Its funny in both these shots I'd set out to capture colour images but for different reasons ended up with B&W shots. It just goes to show that you never know which images will end up getting used.
I shot an assignement for STERN magazine recently, read about it on my website: www.maciejdakowicz.com/news/stern-magazine-assignment-jul...
Published by Golden Books from 1961 to 1965, this is one of four books in a slip-cover set designed to excite families about the joys that awaited them in the World of Walt Disney.
The books included: Fantasyland, Nature, America, and Stories from Other Lands. I found this copy of the Fantasyland book for $4 at my Friends of the Library Bookstore. Boxed sets on eBay run about $30 on the lower end.
I like the old-school feel of the illustrations--this is the Disney I grew up with.

Meran, city in South Tyrol (Merano, Alto Adige, Italy), town charter in 1317, to 1475 mint (relocation to Hall/Tyrol), or until 1480 capital of Tyrol (relocation of the residence to Innsbruck, but formally remained Meran until 1848 capital).
In the Middle Ages, there was a relationship between Vienna and Meran and others by the person of Andre Hiltprant "von Meran", born in Vienna before 1385, who was traceable as a (long-distance) merchant (cloth merchant) and local politician (1442 mayor in Vienna) in both cities (1416 and 1430 in Merano, where the catastrophic Passer flood of 1419 may have contributed that Hiltprant can not be detected in Meran in the 1420s) and whose ancestors evidently came from there.
After Meran had acquired a new importance as a city of education, it came in the Biedermeier era, significantly influenced by the Viennese society, to a slow upswing as a spa and tourist town. In 1827, the Austrian diplomat Bartholomäus Stürmer came to the grape cure in Obermais (now part of Meran). In 1836 Mathilde princess Schwarzenberg and her family doctor Johann Nepomuk Huber stayed in Merano (who published his observations and researches in book form in 1837); Huber became aware of the spot advertised as a "health resort" because of its mild climate and its grape and whey cures (analogous to the ascent of Bad Ischl with the help of the Viennese physician Franz Wirer); the mild climate was suitable both for a "wintering" of healthy people as well as a residence for those who wanted to treat their lung disease. In 1844, Archduke Johann bought Schenna Castle near Meran and, through his enthusiasm, aroused Merano's reputation as a climatically favored mountain town.
As in the 1850s, the number of spa guests rose, was in 1855 founded a spa club. Meran 1864 after the five most important spas of the monarchy (Carlsbad, Marienbad, Baden near Vienna, Bad Ischl and Badgastein) with 1,604 guests in last place, it reached 1913 with 38,901 guests the second place. Three events had 1857, 1870-1872 and 1881 significantly promoted this development: the construction of the Brenner Railway to Bolzano, the two winters (1870/1871 and 1871/1872) of Empress Elisabeth (the first time in the castle Trauttmansdorff lodged and her monument today in a park named after her, which is connected to the castle since 2003 by the "Sisi Promenade") and the opening of the railway line from Bolzano to Merano (thus completing the connection to the Central European railway network).
In the first decade of the 20th century, Merano became the preferred residence of the Viennese nobility, whose relatives wanted to document their complete independence from working life through long stays. In its wake came (as in other resorts) literati (for example, 1882 and 1886 Arthur Schnitzler, 1897 Rainer Maria Rilke, 1906 and 1908 Stefan Zweig [including Palais Labers], from 1916 Herzmanovsky-Orlando and 1920 Franz Kafka) and artists (for example, between 1898 and 1902 Franz Defregger, 1908 Alfred Kubin or 1913 Albin Egger-Lienz) to Merano; in the 19th century we also meet a number of painters who were searching for motifs in Meran (for example Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender and Friedrich Gauermann). Of the often associated patronage (in the sense of invitations), both social circles may have benefited: the former in prestige, the latter in notoriety. Hotels were built in a central location (first near the train station as the no longer existing Grand Hotel Emma, later at the Passer (river) in the spa area (as the Hotel Meranerhof and built in 1904-1906 by Peter Delugan Palace Hotel [today Grand Hotel Palace] in which also Zweig once stayed, this hotel is probably the only one that not only maintained its rank to the present but steadily increased it.
The sanatoriums were built mainly in Obermais. 1900 the city theater was opened, 1907 the cure center house; when in the beginning mainly Bavarian architects had been engaged, was for the extension of the casino the widely known Art Nouveau architect Friedrich Ohmann from Vienna commissioned.
Among the composers who visited Meran include Béla Bartók 1900/1901, Egon Wellesz, Wilhelm Kienzl, who often conducted his "Evangelimann" in the Stadttheater in 1913 (and lived in Vienna from 1917) and Max Reger 1914 (sanatorium Martinsbrunn). Zweig lodged in Palais Labers, but also in the 1906 built palace hotel (now Grand Hotel Palace). In the 19th century we also meet a number of painters who were searching for motifs in Meran (for example Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender and Friedrich Gauermann). Famous writers (for example Roda Roda) gave readings here.
The number of Viennese people who came either from Merano to Vienna, and those who went to Merano and lived there until the end of their lives (for example Anton Ascher, the director of the Carl Theater, the school reformer Armand Dumreicher or the sculptor Josef Bilger), is big.
In the interwar period, especially politicians chose Merano as a residence, but also Richard Strauss, who stayed here for a long time in 1922 and from the 1930s, and Herzmanovsky-Orlando, who moved to Merano in 1916 and died here in 1954 at Rametz Castle.
Meran, Stadt in Südtirol (Merano, Alto Adige, Italien), Stadtrecht 1317, bis 1475 Münzstätte (Verlagerung nach Hall/Tirol), beziehungsweise bis 1480 Hauptstadt von Tirol (Verlagerung der Residenz nach Innsbruck, formal blieb Meran allerdings bis 1848 Hauptstadt).
Im Mittelalter ergab sich eine Beziehung zwischen Wien und Meran und anderen durch die Person des vor 1385 in Wien geborenen Andre Hiltprant "von Meran", der als (Fernhandels-)Kaufmann (Tuchhändler) und Kommunalpolitiker (1442 Bürgermeister in Wien) in beiden Städten nachweisbar ist (1416 und 1430 in Meran, wobei das katastrophale Passer-Hochwasser von 1419 möglicherweise dazu beigetragen hat, dass Hiltprant in den 1420er Jahren nicht in Meran nachgewiesen werden kann) und dessen Vorfahren offenkundig von dort stammten.
Nachdem Meran eine neue Bedeutung als Bildungsstadt erlangt hatte, kam es in der Biedermeierära, maßgeblich beeinflusst von der Wiener Gesellschaft, zu einem langsamen Aufschwung als Kur- und Tourismusstadt. 1827 kam der österreichische Diplomat Bartholomäus Stürmer zur Traubenkur nach Obermais (heute Teil von Meran), 1836 hielt sich Mathilde Fürstin Schwarzenberg mit ihrem Hausarzt Johann Nepomuk Huber in Meran auf (der seine Beobachtungen und Recherchen 1837 in Buchform veröffentlichte); durch Huber wurde man (analog zum Aufstieg von Bad Ischl mit Hilfe des Wiener Arztes Franz Wirer) auf den wegen seines milden Klimas als "Luftkurort" angepriesenen Ort und seine Trauben- und Molkekuren aufmerksam; das milde Klima eignete sich sowohl für eine "Überwinterung" Gesunder wie auch als Aufenthaltsort für jene, die ihr Lungenleiden behandeln wollten. 1844 kaufte Erzherzog Johann das nahe von Meran gelegene Schloss Schenna und weckte durch seine Schwärmerei den Ruf Merans als klimatisch begünstigte Gebirgsstadt.
Als in den 1850er Jahren die Zahl der Kurgäste stieg, begründete man 1855 einen Kurverein. Stand Meran 1864 nach den fünf bedeutendsten Kurorten der Monarchie (Karlsbad, Marienbad, Baden bei Wien, Bad Ischl und Badgastein) mit 1.604 Gästen an letzter Stelle, so erreichte es 1913 mit 38.901 Gästen den zweiten Rang. Drei Ereignisse hatten 1857, 1870-1872 und 1881 diese Entwicklung maßgeblich gefördert: der Bau der Brennerbahn bis Bozen, die zweimalige Überwinterung (1870/1871 und 1871/1872) von Kaiserin Elisabeth (die das erste Mal im Schloss Trauttmansdorff logierte und deren Denkmal heute in einem nach ihr benannten Park steht, der seit 2003 durch die "Sisi-Promenade" mit dem Schloss verbunden ist) sowie die Eröffnung der Bahnlinie von Bozen nach Meran (womit der Anschluss ans mitteleuropäische Bahnnetz vollendet war).
Im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich Meran zum bevorzugten Aufenthaltsort des Wiener Adels, dessen Angehörige durch lange Aufenthalte ihre völlige Unabhängigkeit vom Erwerbsleben dokumentieren wollten. In seinem Gefolge kamen (wie auch in anderen Kurorten) Literaten (beispielsweise 1882 und 1886 Arthur Schnitzler, 1897 Rainer Maria Rilke, 1906 und 1908 Stefan Zweig [unter anderem auf Schloss Labers], ab 1916 Herzmanovsky-Orlando und 1920 Franz Kafka) und Künstler (beispielsweise zwischen 1898 und 1902 Franz Defregger, 1908 Alfred Kubin oder 1913 Albin Egger-Lienz) nach Meran; im 19. Jahrhundert treffen wir auch auf eine Reihe von Malern, die sich zur Motivsuche in Meran aufhielten (beispielsweise Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender und Friedrich Gauermann). Von dem häufig damit verbundenen Mäzenatentum (im Sinne von Einladungen) dürften beide Gesellschaftskreise profitiert haben: erstere an Ansehen, letztere an Bekanntheitsgrad. Hotels entstanden in zentraler Lage (zunächst in der Nähe des Bahnhofs wie das nicht mehr bestehende Grand Hotel Emma, später an der Passer im Kurbereich (wie das Hotel Meranerhof und das 1904-1906 von Peter Delugan erbaute Palast-Hotel [heute Grand Hotel Palace], in dem auch Zweig einmal logierte; dieses Hotel ist wohl das einzige, das seinen Rang bis in die Gegenwart nicht nur behaupten, sondern stetig erhöhen konnte.
Die Sanatorien wurden hauptsächlich in Obermais errichtet. 1900 wurde das Stadttheater eröffnet, 1907 das Kurmittelhaus; hatte man anfangs überwiegend bayerische Architekten verpflichtet, beauftragte man für den Erweiterungsbau des Kurhauses den weithin bekannten Jugenstilarchitekten Friedrich Ohmann aus Wien.
Zu den Komponisten, die Meran besuchten, gehören Béla Bartók 1900/1901, Egon Wellesz, Wilhelm Kienzl, der 1913 im Stadttheater oftmals seinen "Evangelimann" dirigierte (und ab 1917 in Wien lebte) sowie Max Reger 1914 (Sanatorium Martinsbrunn). Zweig logierte in Schloss Labers, aber auch im 1906 erbauten Palast-Hotel (heute Grand Hotel Palace). Im 19. Jahrhundert treffen wir auch auf eine Reihe von Malern, die sich zur Motivsuche in Meran aufhielten (beispielsweise Jacob Alt, Thomas Ender und Friedrich Gauermann). Berühmte Schriftsteller (beispielsweise Roda Roda) hielten hier Lesungen.
Die Zahl von Wienern, die entweder aus Meran nach Wien kamen, und jener, die nach Meran gingen und dort bis an ihr Lebensende lebten (beispielsweise Anton Ascher, der Direktor des Carl-Theaters, der Schulreformer Armand Dumreicher oder der Bildhauer Josef Bilger), ist groß.
In der Zwischenkriegszeit wählten besonders Politiker Meran als Aufenthaltsort, aber auch Richard Strauss, der sich 1922 und ab den 1930er Jahren längere Zeit hier aufhielt, und Herzmanovsky-Orlando, der 1916 nach Meran übersiedelte und hier 1954 auf Schloss Rametz verstarb.
The Rail Atlas of Britain and Ireland (commonly known as Baker's Bible) and published from 1977 to the present day always had a smattering of stations on freight lines. Generally referred to as "Excursion stations" these often former public stations were spread across the network and some had an obvious purpose while others less so.
Here the station at Quainton Road on the former Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway fell into the obvious use category. The station had lost its public service on 4/3/1963 but was located at the heart of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre which occupied land and sidings on either side of what became the Aylesbury to Bletchley freight only line. It was used for occasional excursion trains and visiting railtours and for a period in the 1980's was served by a shuttle from Aylesbury on Bank Holidays for passengers visiting the railway centre.
In this view on a very grey summers day a 4-car class 115 DMU set is seen during a lunch break layover on the Fakenham & Dereham Railway Societies "Bucks & Oxon Freighter" railtour.

THE GORDON
by Tony Marshall (published in the Isetta Gazette September 1980)
In this article we travel back in time to the mid-fifties. Every enthusiast of British motor cycles must surely be familiar with the magnificent shaft driven Sunbeam machines, often described as the 'Rolls Royce' of the motor cycle world. how many of them are aware, though, that there was a three wheel car that was related, albeit in only a minor way, to those Sunbeams? The link that provides the connection between bike and car is the designer. Erling Poppe became well known for his design of the Sunbeam S7, but his attempt at making a three wheel car went almost unheralded. "And no wonder," you may exclaim when I tell you that the car was the Gordon.
Like many small cars of the period, the Gordon was manufactured by a company that had been hitherto completely unconnected with any aspect of vehicle manufacture. In this instance it was Vernons Industries of Liverpool, whose main claim to fame was, and still is, the football pools. The origin of the name 'Gordon' seems to have been forgotten in the mists of time that have elapsed since ten.
When the Gordon was announced at the beginning of 1954, it was to join the already established makes of Bond, Reliant, A.C.Petite, and, like them, it was of fairly conventional car shape, but with only one front wheel. The chassis was basically a two inch section tubular backbone, and on this was mounted an open body constructed of aluminium at the front and rear 'ends', with a centre section of 'Zintec' steel sheet. The front end, which looked as if it housed the engine, was empty apart from the steering assembly, batteries, petrol tank, and the enormous front wheel. There was only one door, and this on the left. It was not possible to fit a drivers door as the lower portion of the space normally allocated to such items was the mounting point for the engine. Fitted low down, it did not intrude much on interior space since it was placed partially outboard, and covered with a bulging metal panel. From here, the drive was by chain to the offside rear wheel.
Prototype models were two seaters, but by the time the car went on sale in April 1954, the body had been altered to accommodate two sideways facing hammock seats in the back for children, and the hood was extended to that it stretched from the windscreen right to the rear of the car, rather like a marquee!
The bodywork was of angular styling with flat panels and squared off corners. The size of the vehicle was quite considerable, being ten feet two inches in length and four feet nine and a half inches wide, though of course the engine and its cover contributed to much of the width.
The power for this 'incredible hulk' came from a Villiers 8E/R two stroke engine of only 197cc, with three forward gears and a reverse. There was an electric starter which turned the flywheel by belt, quite an unusual arrangement, but one which was shared by the Bond Minicar Mark 'C', which had the same engine.
Probably the most attractive feature of the Gordon was the price. It cost £269.17.9d including purchase tax. This made it considerable cheaper to buy than any other car on the market at that time.
Surprisingly, perhaps, it was reported in contemporary roadtests that the uneven weight distribution, even with only a driver in the car, did not really affect the handling, not that the single rear wheel drive was not a cause for concern. In fact, most testers seem to have been impressed by the comfort and performance of the Gordon.
The makers drove one from Lands End to John O' Groats as a publicity exercise, and claimed to have covered 1937 miles using only 31 gallons of petrol, approximately 62.5 mpg. One continuous run of 24 hours covered 546 miles, and another stretch produced a fuel consumption of 69 mpg.
Taken all in all, the Gordon was quite successful, and continued in production until 1957, by which time a deluxe model was on offer, boasting two tone paint, modified body trim, and white wall tyres!
Today, the Gordon is rare. One is in the Surrey Micro Car Collection. Only one other is known at the time of writing (1980).

Honk! The sound there of some self-trumpet blowing.
Last month the editor of What Digital Camera sent a Flickr mail asking if the magazine could use puddling about in a feature on bad weather photography (in exchange for a free mag and a bit of cash). I said yes, hoping he didn't mean bad weather photography.
A copy of this month's issue finally arrived today, making it a nice way to celebrate a year's D40 ownership.

Note: this photo was published in an May 26, 2011 issue of Everyblock NYC zipcodes blog titled "10025."
Note: I chose this photo, among that 10 that I uploaded to Flickr on the evening of May 26, 2011, as my "photo of the day." I thought the contrast between the skateboarder, and the woman watching him, was priceless. I actually took several different photos of the skateboarder, as he flew past, and one or two of them were a little more dramatic than this one. Still, they weren't as interesting as this one...
************************
This is a continuation of a Flickr set that I started in the summer of 2009, and continued in 2010 (in this Flickr set) . As I noted in that earlier collection of photos, I still have many parts of New York City left to explore -- but I've also realized that I don't always have to go looking elsewhere for interesting photographs. Some of it is available just outside my front door.
I live on a street corner on the Upper West Side of Manhattan where there's an express stop on the IRT subway line (with a new space-age subway station), as well as a crosstown bus stop, an entrance to the West Side Highway, and the usual range of banks, delis, grocery stores, fast-food shops, mobile-phone stores, drug-stores, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Subway, and other commercial enterprises. As a result, there are lots of interesting people moving past my apartment building, all day and all night long.
It's easy to find an unobtrusive spot on the edge of the median strip separating the east side of Broadway from the west side; nobody pays any attention to me as they cross the street from east to west, and nobody even looks in my direction as they cross from north to south (or vice versa). In rainy weather, sometimes I huddle under an awning of the T-Mobile phone store on the corner, so I can take pictures of people under their umbrellas, without getting my camera and myself soaking wet...
So, these are some of the people I thought were photo-worthy during the past few weeks and month; I'll add more to the collection as the year progresses ... unless, of course, other parts of New York City turn out to be more compelling from time to time.
This Green Violet-ear picked a beautiful golden perch for a few seconds in the Costa Rican highlands. So why am I back to more hummingbird pictures? Well, I just published my latest blog and some fun news. I was asked to write an article on hummingbird photography for a wildlife and nature photography magazine.
