I had to return the entire Mamiya RB67 because of a defect in the film back (counter stuck at 'S'). I'm changing my strategy by shopping components.

#Recall
Chassisnumber: 1100B*311918*
There are many cars loved for one reason or another. Some recall specific aspects of our history. Few, like the Fiat 1100, tell so many stories of Italy, from the late 30s to the late 60s. The 1100 was born from an offshoot of the Fiat 508C, the Nuova Balilla 1100 and was nicknamed "musone" due to the imposing grille. The Fiat 508 C was first introduced in 1937, powered by a 1,089cc 4-cylinder engine, instead of the previous 1-liter Balilla. Power increased by a third, to 32 hp at 4,000 rpm. At the time, its comfort, handling and performance were prodigious, making it "the only car for the people that was also the car for a driver". Unusual for a low-priced car of the time was the independent front suspension. In 1939 the car underwent a makeover of the nose and became the Fiat 1100, sometimes known “retrospectively” as the 1100 A to distinguish it from the following models. The car had received a taller and more defined grille, which earned it the popular nickname of 1100 "musone": with horizontal chrome bars, the top three extending backwards on window-shaped openings on each side of the engine hood, redesigned. There were six body types available, all derived from the previous model: sedan, convertible sedan, convertible, sports sedan, long wheelbase and taxi. No significant changes were made to the mechanics of the car. After World War II, in 1948, the 1100 received some mechanical and interior updates and was renamed 1100 B. The revised 1100 B engine produced 35 hp at 4,400 rpm, thanks to larger intake and exhaust manifolds and to a larger carburetor. Inside, a new steering wheel and new instrumentation. The 1100 B was available as a sedan, long wheelbase and taxi. A total of 25,000 units were built between 1948 and 1949. The 1100 B only lasted a year, until 1949, when the car was reintroduced with a new trunk and a new name, 1100 E.
23 and 24 April 1950: at the Mille Miglia, no less than 204 of the registered starters were production cars. In that year, history meets legend: after thirteen hours of driving that led him to victory, with about seven minutes ahead of the crew that followed, Count Giannino Marzotto got out of his car wearing a double-breasted suit and a tie matching the color of his car, a Ferrari 195 S Berlinetta Touring in an unusual pastel blue livery. But other stories alternate that year during the race; one is the one that brings, with race number 114, the Fiat 1100 B with chassis no. 311918 to cover the 1500 km route without fail, with the crew Paolo Rossi - Alessandro Rossi, to rank 125th overall and 35th in the Turismo 1100 category, maintaining a respectable average speed of 86.24 kph on the course. The car has therefore obtained the certification of the 1000 Miglia Register and the proof of the time is evidenced by numerous photos that portray it both in Brescia and in the passage through Florence. The car also raced the Volante d’Argento, in September of the same year, ranking an honorable 3rd position in class. The car then seems to have had a quieter life in later years, mostly in Italy. The car was restored in its wonderful ash blue and wears the same livery with which it raced in 1950, with the same race numbers, the insignia of the “Squadra Garisenda” team, the third central headlight.
The Thunderbird recalled the early days of automobiling, when cars were more fun than functional. Thunderbirds and other small two-seaters were sold as "personal cars" -- often second cars -- in which motorists could enjoy driving for its own sake. This Thunderbird's owner, Ford engineer William Burnett, had a uniquely personal relationship with it -- he supervised the development of the first Thunderbird.
Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction opened in 2012, a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard in the city's Titanic Quarter where the RMS Titanic was built. It tells the stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank during her maiden voyage in 1912, and her sister ships RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic.
Eric Kuhne and Associates were commissioned as concept architects, with Todd Architects appointed as lead consultants. The building's design is intended to reflect Belfast's history of shipmaking and the industrial legacy bequeathed by Harland & Wolff. Its angular form recalls the shape of ships' prows, with its main "prow" angled down the middle of the Titanic and Olympic slipways towards the River Lagan.
Most of the building's façade is clad in 3,000 individual silver anodised aluminium shards. It stands 38 metresr high, the same height as Titanic's hull.
This is a LHD W123 import, first registered in November 1982 hence the 'Y' plate. Reminds me somewhat of old Berlin taxis, although they were slightly more 'yellow' if I recall.
I don't think it's European, given the different headlights. Any ideas where this could be originally from?
I seem to recall that Hendon Garage had quite a long brick frontage in what looked like several architectural styles and that the exit wasn`t an easy one onto a busy road. It was also one of several LT garages to have a war memorial to fallen colleagues in WW1 which, in pre-dating LT, originated from LGOC days. Closed in 1987, is the garage site now occupied by Middlesex University?
This Great Egret was quite animated as it checked out some of the small ponds at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. I don't recall ever seeing one shake so vigorously.
I have kept a diary on & off (mostly off) for many years but since January 2003 have written every day. Each morning, when I write what I did & thought the day before, I look back on the events of ten years ago.
The Flickr Friday group theme for this week is Recall.

I'm so far behind on posting... still have yet to finish my pictures from this shoot in April!
Edited in PSE with a little texture (sorry, I can't recall what I used!).
At the Butterfly Jungle at the Safari Park in Escondido, California, 4/10/12. This is a once a year event.
... You still recall, sometimes, the old barn on your
great-grandfather's farm, a place you visited once,
and went into, all alone, while the grownups sat and
talked in the house.
... It was empty, or almost. Wisps of hay covered the floor,
and some wasps sang at the windows, and maybe there was
a strange fluttering bird high above, disturbed, hoo-ing
a little and staring down from a messy ledge with wild,
binocular eyes.
... Mostly, though, it smelled of milk, and the patience of
animals; the give-offs of the body were still in the air,
a vague ammonia, not unpleasant.
... Mostly, though, it was restful and secret, the roof high
up and arched, the boards unpainted and plain.
... You could have stayed there forever, a small child in a corner,
on the last raft of hay, dazzled by so much space that seemed
empty, but wasn't.

Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before

From my one and only trip to New York City. I was living near Boston and drove down for a day to see my Dad who was an over the road semi driver for Northwestern Steel & Wire in Illinois. He had a steel delivery down near the Statue of Liberty as I recall. I had a few hours to kill before he arrived and I somehow ended up at this place where a bunch of NJ Transit stuff was happening.
Unusual to see anymore in the US. I don't recall seeing very many when they were new. By now, remaining ones have had enough time to have been thrashed by one owner or more.
The del Sol was available for model years 1993-1997. The 'Civic' tag was dropped starting for 1995 model year so this one would be an early model.
A page from a Rite in the Rain notebook in which I have recorded snow depths in my yard. Each column represents a day. The numbers in each column represent snow depth (in inches) at each of 15 pre-determined points. The official snow depth for each day is the median value. Once calculated the daily snow depths are transferred to the web site of the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (cororahs.org). In the previous 13 winters (2008-09 to 2020-21), I used this procedure on a total of 843 days with at least 1 inch of snow on the ground; that amounts to 12,645 individual measurements!

Early season autumn snow below Bear Creek Spire, Eastern Sierra Nevada
This little lake might be familiar to a number of viewers who hike in the eastern Sierra, as it is not too far up a popular trail to other east side access points for backpackers and day hikers. I have been there quite a few times over the years, though rarely with the lake itself as the objective. There is one exception. I recall one pack trip quite a few years ago, when a friend and I had arrived at the trailhead quite late in the day. We wanted to get a head start on the next day's hike, so we headed out and dusk and got just far enough up the trail to set up a crude camp (I was just using a bivy sack, if I recall correctly) after dark.
The story behind this photograph is a different one. As I often do in October, I headed to the eastern Sierra to photograph that annual fall aspen color show. My plans are usually quite general, and I prefer to sort of follow my hunches as I poke around in various east side locations looking for photographs. I had been working with a client who wanted a photograph of a peak that appears in this photograph, and when I saw the conditions (nice weather and new snow) it occurred to me that I might quickly find something that would work better for my client than the photos I had already proposed. So I drove up to the trailhead (which I often visit anyway), shouldered my camera pack, and headed to this quiet spot where the scene look at lot more like winter than early autumn!

Being in the right place at the right time pretty much sums up this view which was taken as JUP 98H was resting after returning to its base in Quarrington Hill, one of those many villages which had its own local operator in days gone by. Always smartly turned out, the Gillett Brothers small fleet covered a number of routes considered too small for the major operators principally across the east of County Durham. The chocolate and cream livery seems to suit this style of Plaxton bodywork and with a thrusting Reliance underneath good running was assured. Sadly G and B like a number of similar operators disappeared, however with views like this, they will always be recalled with pleasure.
The wonderful month of August, where soft breezes from the west carried the sounds of EMDs from 15 miles away, wightlifting outside all day and photographing Denny Spikberg bringing in the Oats with his Massey Ferguson
