An unexpected addition to the end of the show picking up the fading sunset through a break in the clouds.
"E rimarrà forse il vuoto di noi
A disarmare i rimpianti che so
Per ricordarci in un attimo che
Passerà
Sugli edifici e sui cieli di noi,
Sulle stagioni e sui nostri perchè
Nuvole rapide, e un attimo che
Passerà ."
Nuvole Rapide - Subsonica
I haven't taken interesting pics for a while! Sure, maybe this one's not interesting either... Nevermind.
It's just that sometimes the view of the sky from my balcony deserves being captured; here's an example, the colours are natural. Few post-processing.

McKeown reckons (without giving any evidence) this camera was made in France under licence by Tirany. I think he is mistaken here and that it was built in Birmingham, England by Coronet along with the very similar Coronet Clipper.
Fixed Focus.
Dates to the 1950s
It is so badly misnamed that it is comic. Despite being called the "Rapide" neither the shutter nor the lens are "fast". (the exact opposite actually)
There were more than three versions of the Rapide that I have seen; this is the one with the shutter button on the top housing. (The trigger next to the lens that could be mistaken for the shutter button actually cocks the shutter)
Eye level finder
No flash synch.
