Taken around Nishi-Koyama Station in Meguro-ku Tokyo, where three different portable shrines were being paraded during the local autumn festival. This young man is twirling an old Edo period style fire brigade standard, called a matoi.
Around the perimeter of parts of Brisbane's Botanic Gardens, planted every couple of metres, are the most wonderful displays of pink standard roses. Indeed, a very nice welcome for one arriving to do a spell of photography.
Well done to the gardeners that make this such a wonderful and peaceful place to visit.
Thanks everyone for the comments, awards and faves. They mean a lot to me.
Quebec Gatineau 502 in Côte Saint-Luc after having just left CPKC's St-Luc Yard. It is passing through the Meadowbrook Golf Course here with QGRY 4021, QGRY 3102, QGRY 3801 & QGRY 801 for power and a short train (40ish cars).
The first Standard model equipped with a 4-speed column-mounted shift, and the end of the line for the Standard brand (Triumph continued at that time, however).
It's probably been a few years since these old pumps dispensed go-juice, but it sure is nice to see them still out in front of this old Trenton, Florida filling station for all to see. I love stuff like this!
Still room for 2 more ... Zeiss Planars, f1.4 & f1.8...

According to Standard and Poors, since last week Brazil is an investment grade country.
Like Rosario, I can not understand how a country is upgraded while most of their population have no access to potable water, sewage, schools and food. I wouldn't smile, either.

Tonight's Net Flicks candidate is US Navy marked Lockheed
S-3A Viking BuAerNo.158873 on display at the 1974 Farnborough International Airshow
Nicknamed the 'Hoover' due to the noise of her two Fan-jet engines, Vikings were used for Anti-Submarine duties aboard the US Navy Super-Carriers
With the end of the Cold-War their role changed. Some were used to supply Air-to-Air re-fueling and others for Range Control duties
Potential overseas sale of a number of retired examples so far have come to naught and most of the fleet languish at AMARC with a few safely on display in Museum collections
Note the other two Aircraft in the frame - both Sub-Hunters too
On the left another Lockheed product in the form of the then latest Orion model - a P-3C 159327 and on the right - an RAF Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod MR.1 XV229
Both are now rapidly being replaced by the Boeing P-8 Poseidon, a 737 Airliner derivative

I felt like taking a 'standard' shot of Drax 60066 south of Willington (South Derbyshire) on 26/01/19, instead of trying anything different, as there was the promise of sun. This turned out to be just a promise however, as it was still dull when the 6M57 0717 Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Sdgs tanks powered through.
Here's the video of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcZ3gMGI8Rg

Between the mid 1930s and 1961, the colour scheme of Rochdale Corporation Transport buses was a rich blue and cream laid out in an elaborate 'streamlined' style' with plenty of detailed black lining out. Rochdale buses carried no exterior advertisements, as the town was rightly proud of its buses and didn't want to spoil them by having them used as mobile billboards.
But as passenger numbers fell in the 1950s and 1960s as car ownership grew, and people stayed at home to watch television instead of going to the cinema, the realities of economics bit hard. Rochdale had to simplify its paint scheme to save money on repaints and repairs, and also began to accept advertising on its buses. The new colour scheme - all-over cream with a single blue band - wasn't as nice as the old one but there simply wasn't the money to spend on luxuries any more.
To make matters worse, it was becoming more and more difficult to attract people to work on the buses at this time of full employment. Each year's annual report from the Rochdale General Manager bemoaned the high turnover of staff and the shortage of labour, both on the road and in the garage. So standards slipped, with buses being put into service with dents and scratches that would never have been allowed out in that state years earlier.
So SELNEC 6203, formerly Rochdale 303, looked thoroughly dull as it picked up passengers outside the town's Port Office. At least it wasn't badly dented, but it wasn't hard to find buses that were. Even in the cream livery 303 was a handsome bus, but similar 280 is restored to its original colour scheme and is in the care of the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester showing what a splendid colour scheme these buses wore when new.

Standing on the Events Field at Beamish Museum is this beautifully restored example of and early post-war British car, which must have looked very impressive at the time and continues to do so today.
The car is a 1952 2088cc Standard Vanguard Phase I saloon, UK registered MXW 781.
The Standard Vanguard was manufactured by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry (UK) from 1947 until 1963, with the model being upgraded to Phase II in 1953. Sadly the Phase II models dispensed with the iconic sweeping rear end of the car and replaced it with a more conventional boot (trunk).
