Ma seule liberté est de rêver, alors je rêve de liberté.

1937 Delahaye Type 135MS Special Roadster
Six-cylinder in-line pushrod engine, two valves per cylinder, 3557 cc, 160 hp at 4200 rpm.
Ettore Bugatti is said to have encouraged Delahaye to enter the luxury car field, advice he may have rued. The Parisian automaker heretofore known for dependable, if lackluster, sedans proceeded to challenge Le Patron and other top-market European makers by producing some of the most glamorous cars on the Continent in the mid to late thirties.
A considerable assist was provided by Joseph Figoni, France’s most daring body designer, and Ovidio Falaschi, an Italian businessman who loved spectacular automobiles. Joining the coachbuilders was Figoni’s friend, and noted racing illustrator, Geo Ham, who provided valuable kibitzing in the realization of a new design theme in which wheel-enveloping fenders became the automobile’s dominant factor, while the passenger space became an unobtrusive capsule in between. Aerodynamics was the purported raison d’être of the design but sheer sensuality, which sold more cars than science among Europe’s elite, was a prominent motivation.
This new idea was first seen in a Delahaye roadster that Aly Khan bought off the floor of the 1936 Paris Salon and reached full flowering the following year in the car you see here: the most talked-about automobile at the 1937 Salon. Built on Delahaye’s short competition chassis, this special roadster has aluminum coachwork and a leather interior by Hermes. Most significant are four features that were patented by Figoni & Falaschi: the front fender design, the ultralight tubular seat, the disappearing soft top, and the windscreen that recedes into the body via a system Figoni devised on the principle of a funicular railway.
At the end of 1937, following the show season, the roadster was sold to a private customer who preferred remaining anonymous. The following year the customer brought the car back to Figoni & Falaschi. Bumpers were added front and rear, obviously useful protection in traffic. A new radiator grille was also installed eliminating the cyclops light that had been incorporated into its base, perhaps the one aspect of the show car that had not been a good idea.

This little pied-billed grebe starting revving its engines as I watched him the other day. I don't think I've ever actually seen a pied-billed grebe in flight so I suppose a systems check was warranted to ensure the engines were functional just in case a flight was necessary.
Dans cette chambre meublé d'un très beau lit a baldaquin une surprise m'attendait à l'ouverture d'une porte de placard. Derrière: l'abîme, plus de sol et un accès direct 5m plus bas a l'étage en dessous, rafraîchissant et inédit :)

C'était l'un de mes plus gros objectifs de photo ferroviaire !
La Marschbahn, reliant Elmshorn (Hamburg) à Westerland(Sylt), est célèbre pour tous les intéressés ferroviaires européens, pour ses scènes de "vieux ferroviaire", mêlant relais traction, signalisation mécanique, vieilles locomotives et auto-train !
Ici, on aura droit à 2 vieilles 218, quoique la première paraît sortie d'usine, un auto-train et de la signalisation mécanique !
Menant un auto-train bien chargé, la 218-321 fraîchement et magnifiquement repeinte, accompagnée de la 218-307, passent devant le signal mécanique d'entrée en gare de Klanxbüll, située en fond de photo.
Le train ne va pas tarder à quitter le continent pour passer l'Hindenburgdamm, digue séparant la presqu'île de Sylt, du continent européen.
