Rode the E-bike down to World's Fair Park today to capture some slow shutter photos of the water features. Also wanted to fly the DJI drone as well. I got some photos and video from my drone flight. The stream and cascades were not running, so I concentrated on the Water fountains and the cascading steps on the other end of the park.

I rode in a 2cv for the first time at the age of 15 in Arcachon in South West France and fell in love with them. Between 1974 and 1997 I owned seven of and one Ami Super. I drove them all over the place including trips around France, Germany and the Netherlands and once down to Barcelona. There is nothing quite like a 2cv but for the truly authentic experience it really has to have been built before 1966. The ride in the later ones is rock hard by comparison. Yes, really!!!! But this is a really nice example of a late model that I spotted whilst on holiday in Dorset.

Blijft iets moois altijd, al die verschillende kleurtinten rood, oranje en geel in de herfst.

It always is something beautiful, all those different shades of red, orange and yellow in the autumn.

Deze Rode Ibis is neergestreken in Wateringen (Zuid-Holland)in een park en loopt daar rustig rond op zoek naar eten.Het is wel bijzonder om deze vogel niet in gevangenschap te zien .Niemand mist deze vogel tot nu toe ....zal die dan echt zover gevlogen zijn??
On April 23, 2006, I rode a Speeder from Cordele to Plains, Georgia on a trip sponsored by NARCOA (aka North American Rail Car Owners Association). Since I don't own a Motor Car (aka a Speeder), I rode with a friend who owns two Motor Cars. The Next Day, Monday April 24, 2006, I spent another Day (near Cordele) to get a more comprehensive look at the SAM Short Line Tourist Line and the surrounding area.
One of the places I visited was Veterans Park, where I found some Military Antiques to Photograph, such as this 155 mm Howitzer MA1918A3.
The Long Tom 155mm GUN M1 is mounted on a Carriage. It is a Superior Artillery Weapon with Excellent Long Range. Accuracy. It's apparently the only US ARMY Towed Artillery Weapon.
This LVT-3 Bushmaster was Manufactured by Borg-Warner Corp. and was modified to an LVT-3C by Continental Aviation & Engineering in 1950. This Landing Craft was Waterproof, withstood Heavy Surf. and had TREADS designed for Water & Sans rather than Land Travel. It was developed and had a Strong Stern Landing Ramp suited for Cargo Hauling rather than Troop Transportation with it's Twin Cadillac V-8 Model 42 Engines.
"2,992 LVT-3's were built for the United States Marine Corps. Production Issues delayed Combat Introduction at Okinawa until 1945.
In 1949, plans were implemented to Modernize LVT-3C's. In 1950, Overhead Armor was added to the protect the Troops. The Modified Version, named LVT-3C Bushmaster, were the Backbone of Marine amtrac units in the Korean War. They were prominent in Landings at Inchon, Attacks across the Han River and the Evacuation of Hungarian Harbor.

Villa Tugendhat Brno – the interiors
The inner furnishings of the house were designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe along with his colleagues Lilly Reich and Sergius Ruegenberg. The furniture was primarily from tubular and strip steel as well as from noble woods (rosewood, zebra wood and Macassar ebony). Three 'Tugendhat' armchairs stood in front of the onyx wall upholstered in silver-grey 'rodion' material, three 'Barcelona' armchairs and a stool in emerald green leather, a glass table and a white bench. A colour accent was provided by a reclining chair with ruby red velvet upholstering. 'Brno' chairs made from tubular steel and upholstered in white sheepskin were situated around the round dining table from black polished pear wood. Chairs were placed next to the glazed milk wall and in the library. Two 'MR 20' wicker armchairs faced one another next to the writing desk behind the onyx wall. The majority of the metal furniture was produced in Germany. The built-in furniture and part of the free-standing items were produced in the Brno firm Standard Flat Company which at the same time realized part of the interiors of the Müller Villa in Prague by Adolf Loos. Vaňek's firm apparently also installed the curved inner wall from Makassar ebony.
Villa Tugendhat - the materials
Not only due to his architectural vision, but also in light of the placement of the building on a slope, Mies finally elected the supporting structure of a steel skeleton with backing masonry. The delicate supporting columns of a cross-section with riveted angles are from German steel. The columns on the terraces have brass cladding with patina coating to a bronze in copper colour, the columns in the main living area have brass chromium plating with a bright lustre. All of the window frames and a number of the doors are made from steel. All of the plastering was carried out in the natural colour tone of sand (they did not have a white coating). The internal plaster had a velvet lustre thanks to the final layer (stucco lustro).
The Italian almost white travertine (Tivoli locality) ranks among the original stone elements. This was employed in the interiors on, for example, the floors of the entrance hall and the staircases, and in the exteriors on the parapet and the bases of the upper terrace and the garden terrace with the stairs (this was replaced during the restoration of the Villa over the years 1981-85 with Spiš travertine from Slovakia). The so-called onyx wall is a truly remarkable decorative and at the same time functional stone element in the interior of the Villa. The honey-coloured, yellow rock with white veins was mined from the Atlas Mountains in former French Morocco in North Africa and is actually aragonite sediment (calcium carbonate).
The exclusive exotic woods came from south-east Asia. The wall cladding in the entrance hall, doors and built-in closets in the parent's rooms were from veneered palissander. The children's rooms made use of zebra veneer. The main living area contained the impressive ebony veneer from the region of Makassar on the island of Celebes. The dark brown and yellow veined ebony wood for the half-cylinder in the dining room and for the built-in library (preserved up until the present in its original state) was apparently chosen by Mies in Paris where he found sufficiently long veneer which would reach from the floor all the way to the ceiling.
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.
The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.
All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn'd like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often thro' the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott
