These vehicles have been in production with small variations since 1948, I belive that this one is not that old :-)
I really like these cars, I remeber as a kid back in Colombia and Argentina that most of the Land Rover there were made in Spain by Santana.
They might not be the pretiest but are some of the best all terrain vehicles ever made.
The famous Ampelmännchen of Berlin.
From Wikipedia:
he Ampelmännchen is a beloved symbol in Eastern Germany, enjoy[ing] the privileged status of being one of the few features of communist East Germany to have survived the end of the Iron Curtain with his popularity unscathed. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Ampelmännchen acquired cult status and became a popular souvenir item in the tourism business.

Metro Rail is the light rail transit for Los Angeles and this view is inside the Purple Line at the Wilshire & Western station. (Note the "WW" on the signal light). The Purple and Red Lines are the only subways. The other lines are all at street level although a short distance of the Blue Line, Gold Line and the Expo Line are subways, then they surface to street level.
The decorated Christmas trees seen through the windows were each placed and decorated by a different group for public display. This was taken during a foggy evening.
The Durand Union Station was built in 1903 by the Detroit firm of Spier and Rohns at the junction of two major rail lines. The station was almost destroyed by fire in 1905, but was quickly rebuilt. When it was built, the station is at the junction of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad and the Ann Arbor Railroad. Today, the station is a stop for the Amtrak train that connects Chicago, Illinois and Port Huron, Michigan.
The northbound signal at CPF-679, showing a clear indication at sunrise. This shot was taken from the Main St crossing in Dupont, PA. Milepost 679 on CP's Sunbury Subdivision. June 28, 2011. The signals were moved to this location from the old D&H signal tower, partially visible above the tracks.
In 2010 I've build this lighthouse. It's a scale model of the lighthouse that guards the harbor of my hometown Urk, The Netherlands.
The models stands over 70 cm tall (27.6 inch) and it uses 4.237 bricks. The lightning consists of two old 9V light bulbs. The light rotates with 10rpm, giving it the same light signature as the original. I've spend over 130 hours building it, not counting the time browsing on BrickLInk.
Some info on the original lighthouse: The current lighthouse is build in 1844. As early as 1617 a coal fire was burning on the hill of Urk. In 1837 a square tower was build. This was replaced in 1844 by the current lighthouse. In 1920 a electric light-bulb was installed. Since 1989 the lighthouse is fully automatic. Because of the use of radar, the importance of the lighthouse becomes smaller and smaller. That's why they took the fog signal out of use in 2001.

Aruba is an island in the southern Caribbean Sea, located about 1,600 kilometres west of the Lesser Antilles and 29 kilometres north of the coast of Venezuela. It measures 32 kilometres (20 mi) long from its northwestern to its southeastern end and 10 kilometres across at its widest point. Together with Bonaire and Curaçao, Aruba forms a group referred to as the ABC islands. Collectively, Aruba and the other Dutch islands in the Caribbean are often called the Netherlands Antilles or the Dutch Caribbean.
From 1499 Aruba was colonized by Spain for over a century. Simas, the Cacique or chief in Aruba, welcomed the first Catholic priests in Aruba, who gave him a wooden cross as a gift. In 1508, the Spanish Crown appointed Alonso de Ojeda as its first Governor of Aruba, as part of Nueva Andalucía.
Due to the hostile climate and lack of any material resources the Spanish eventually left and the Netherlands colonised it in 1629 and since 1636, Aruba has been under Dutch administration.The island was included under the Dutch West India Company (W.I.C.) administration, as "New Netherland and Curaçao," from 1648 to 1664. In 1667 the Dutch administration appointed an Irishman as "Commandeur" in Aruba.
The Dutch took control 135 years after the Spanish, leaving the Arawaks to farm and graze livestock, and used the island as a source of meat for other Dutch possessions in the Caribbean.
It now serves as a popular tourist destination.
From the WSCF meet up in Wheaton, IL. Train motion at Railroad crossing. I tried many shots (it was a long train!) at different shutter speeds. This one at 1/45th of a second seemed to show the motion I was trying to capture.
Two cops stopped and questioned me a couple of minutes after I shot this.
They wanted to know what I was doing. I showed them what I had shot, and one cop asked skeptically, and rather patronizingly, "Why would anyone take a picture of a blue light? That's a pretty weird thing to do."
"I guess you're not a photographer," I replied.

Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana is the main north/south street in the city. This is lookng north on meridian from the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in the heart of downtown. December 2011
Here is a little more about the history of North Meridian Street:
North Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana is a straight stretch of living history lined with mansions dating back to the early twentieth-century. Meridian Street takes its name from the basic meaning of the word meridian–the half of such circle divided between two poles: as it divides the Circle City in half. However, meridian’s alternate definition seems just as fitting–a period of highest development.
And North Meridian Street surely is representative of a high point in the developmental history of the city. As Indianapolis business boomed in the 1920s, North Meridian Street began to transform into a neighborhood for Indianapolis society’s most wealthy. Socially elite Indianapolis people spent thousands of dollars erecting monuments to their fortune. Simply driving through this strip reveals a rich sense of Indianapolis history.
From Tudor revival to Jacobean to colonial revival to Neo-classical to prairie style, the houses lining this upscale strip offer a crash course in American architecture from the roaring twenties on. The style of many of these houses reveals the sense of modernism that permeates Indianapolis art.
The street is on the National Register of Historic Places, leading its residents to focus on the preservation of this historic neighborhood. After the Meridian Street Preservation Act was passed in 1971, any landowners in the North Meridian Street Historic District must go through the proper channels to acquire permission to alter the use of the land that their property rests on. The Meridian Street Preservation Commission monitors and approves any changes within the neighborhood.
The Meridian Street Foundation is a neighborhood volunteer group that is dedicated to supporting its residents as they encounter the preservation process. They assist each other in the arduous paperwork that accompanies living in one of these historic mansions.
In addition the group organizes beautification projects throughout the neighborhood to keep their historic landmark looking fresh. In the past they have planted Spring bulbs and trees, and annually they are in charge of placing holiday decorations on street lamps. They also turned Alice Carter Park into a beautiful entrance into the district, a valuable contribution to Indianapolis parks. The group also has a By-Laws Committee, a Crime Watch/Traffic Safety Committee, and a Newsletter Committee, to name a few.
The members of this association as well as residents on Historic North Meridian Street truly do have reason to be proud of their home. Famed author Booth Tarkington lived there from 1923 until his death in 1946, calling 4270 North Meridian Street home during that time. Tarkington referred to the architecture of his home, which was influenced by Tudor and Craftsman styles, as having a “picture book house appearance.” Also nestled among the North Meridian Street mansion is the Governor’s Mansion at 46th Street and Meridian.
The street not only runs directly into downtown Indianapolis, but also passes near landmarks such as Butler University, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Broad Ripple Village, the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, and Indianapolis Public Library downtown. The houses on North Meridian Street are marveled at by all who pass them. Undoubtedly North Meridian Street is a prize for Indianapolis real estate and one of the greatest Indianapolis attractions.
