Somehow I missed posting this one when I was trying to post these Standard Federal Bank Building glass reflective shots in order, but anyway here's #14 in this series. This was while it was still owned by the bank and nothing had been changed in the front, so still standing sideways to the front doors, the best of reflections reflecting upon themselves could be caught. The brick is the brick from the 2 columns that are at the 2 ends of the front of this unique building that has a parabolic or inwardly curved front to it. It was once featured in National Geographic Magazine in the '70's when it was built. This is all reflection and no actual sky, taken in December 2001.

Embedded galleries within a gallery on various aspects of Photography:
We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

Toby ran into another Standard at the Farmer's Market yesterday who was just his age.
They played and played and played and played ...
so we had to invite Coby (and his parents) to our place today for more play.
Blackpool Standard tram 144, lower deck saloon, Highwood Carhouse, Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine, USA. Thursday 12 June 2025
A total of 42 Blackpool “Standard” trams were built 1923 – 1929. Many were withdrawn from service during early 1950’s resulting in over half of the class (23 trams) being scrapped in just four years 1951 – 1954. Thankfully 144 which was taken out of service circa September 1952 and due to meet the same fate was acquired by the Seashore Trolley Museum, in October 1954.
On Friday 11 March 1955 following a civic send off by the Mayor of Blackpool, Will Ogden on Blundell Street, 144 left Blackpool and was shipped via Liverpool Docks on the United States Line freighter ‘American Press’ to Boston. The tram arrived at the Seashore Trolley Museum on Saturday 02 April 1955. It was the first double deck tram to be imported in to the United States from Britain and the museums first foreign tram acquisition.
During 1957 – 1959, the roof was renewed and 144 was restored externally to its February 1930 – October 1933 condition carrying the red and white livery. For many years including the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s the tram was in regular use.
Extensive rewiring and rehabilitation took place 2000 – 2015. During the summer of 2006 the tram was repainted in to green and cream although at present it is still without fleet numerals, the Blackpool Corporation coat of arms and legal lettering. In due course the paint work which is now beginning to lose its shine will require a good cleaning and possibly touching up.
144 is on display inside the Highwood Carhouse. The trams interior is virtually intact although work appears to be ongoing inside the lower deck saloon where the lifeguards, dog gates and trolley base are currently stored. The lower deck longitudinal cushioned seats and the trolley arm are currently stored on the upper deck which has been completely restored.
It is unknown when the ongoing long-term restoration of 144 will be finished and when the tram will enter service again. An issue that has to be rectified before this can happen is that the overhead wires in some areas of the museum grounds are now too low for 144 (or any other double deck tram) to operate under.
Finally a total of seven Blackpool Standard trams are preserved with currently only three in use Nos. 40, 48 and 159 and it now appears that this may be the case for some time.
Three other British trams are also preserved at the Seashore Trolley Museum, they are: Glasgow Corporation Transport 1274, Liverpool Corporation Transport 293, and London Transport 2085 (later Leeds 526).
