Debonair plastic fantastic film camera
Always fun to experiment with new (and discontinued film). And trying out my new plastic camera, the Debonair. Don't know who made it but it came with a free roll of film!
I love those vertical (OK, they're horizontal, but they are on a vertical structure) stripes in the brickwork; note also the graffiti.

It’s objectively too late to restrain population and consumption growth so as to avert what ecologists of the 1970s called a “hard landing.”
It is the lie that human society can continue growing its population and consumption levels indefinitely on our finite planet, and never suffer consequences.
Perhaps Donald Trump succeeded because his promises spoke to what civilizations in decline tend to want to hear. It could be argued that the pluralistic, secular, cosmopolitan, tolerant, constitutional democratic nation state is a political arrangement appropriate for a growing economy buoyed by pervasive optimism. (On a scale much smaller than contemporary America, ancient Greece and Rome during their early expansionary periods provided examples of this kind of political-social arrangement). As societies contract, people turn fearful, angry, and pessimistic—and fear, anger, and pessimism fairly dripped from Trump’s inaugural address. In periods of decline, strongmen tend to arise promising to restore past glories and to defeat domestic and foreign enemies. Repressive kleptocracies are the rule rather than the exception.
Yes.. when world leaders like Trump & Erdogan visit our country, we stage protest marches.

The Mount Coolidge Lookout and Fire Tower was one of the last projects completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s. Built of local stone, the tower rests atop a 6,023-foot peak and is still used today as a fire lookout and dispatch center. As the highest point in central Custer State Park, it offers breathtaking 360-degree views from the top of the fire tower. On a clear day, you can see the Badlands nearly 60 miles away in the east.
You can find Mount Coolidge 3 miles south of 16A on your way to Blue Bell Lodge. The turnoff is located on SD 87 as Wildlife Loop turns back to the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway.

The Hofburg in Innsbruck is one of the Habsburgs built and inhabited residence. Originally a castle from the late Middle Ages, it was expanded in the early modern times to a castle and seat of the Tyrolean princes and residence of various members of the dynasty to the end. The present state of the building is based on the extensions under Empress Maria Theresia in Rococo style and is partially to visit.
History
The first hostel on this site used Duke Leopold III. These and other properties were acquired by his son Friedrich IV, whose son Archduke Sigmund the Rich in Coins (der Münzreiche), Count of Tyrol, built a medieval castle. His successor, the German king and later Emperor Maximilian I, expanded the complex. In 1534, the ceiling of the 1510 renewed giant hall was destroyed by fire and subsequently restored by King Ferdinand I. Because of earthquake damage to the walls in 1536, the castle facade was reinforced by semicircular towers.
Only Maria Theresia (ruled from 1740 to 1780) gave the order for the reconstruction in the style of the courtly Viennese Rococo. This is how the magnificent building presents itself today. Maria Theresia was only twice in Innsbruck, in transit in 1739 and in 1765 to the wedding of her son Leopold II with the Spanish princess Maria Ludovica, which is reminiscent of the Triumphal Arch at the end of the Maria-Theresien street. The wedding was overshadowed by the death of her husband Franz Stephan of Lorraine (as a result of a stroke) on 18 August 1765. The death chamber was transformed into a chapel on behalf of the Empress. At that time she also had the endowment for laidies of rank built. The canonesses had to pray for the deceased emperor. Members of the imperial family used the castle until the end of the monarchy in 1918, it was also the seat of the Tyrolean princes and is now owned by the Republic of Austria.
Building details
The Innsbruck Hofburg has a built-up area of about 5000 square meters, there are about 400 rooms, including more than 30 private apartments. The construction is four-storey, chapel and two larger halls are several storeys high.
The large castle courtyard is opened up by the southern castle gate, it continues with the lain to the west, smaller kitchen yard. To visit are also the state rooms, inter alia:
Giant Hall (Festival Hall) with portraits of Maria Theresa, her husband and her 16 children. The room is 31.5 meters long, 13 meters wide and 11 meters high. The name it bears not because of its size, but because of the depicted giants on paintings from the 16th century.

Die Hofburg in Innsbruck ist eine von den Habsburgern errichtete und bewohnte Residenz. Ursprünglich eine Burganlage aus dem Spätmittelalter, wurde sie in der Frühen Neuzeit zu einem Schloss ausgebaut und Sitz der Tiroler Landesfürsten sowie Wohnsitz verschiedener Angehöriger der Dynastie bis zu deren Ende. Der heutige Zustand beruht auf den Ausbauten unter Kaiserin Maria Theresia im Rokokostil und ist teilweise zu besichtigen.
Geschichte
Die erste Herberge auf diesem Areal benutzte Herzog Leopold III. Diese und weitere Grundstücke erwarb sein Sohn Friedrich IV., dessen Sohn Erzherzog Sigmund der Münzreiche, Graf von Tirol, eine mittelalterliche Burg erbauen ließ. Sein Nachfolger, der deutsche König und spätere Kaiser Maximilian I., baute die Anlage aus. 1534 wurde die Decke des 1510 erneuerten Riesensaales durch einen Brand zerstört und anschließend durch König Ferdinand I. wieder hergestellt. Wegen Erdbebenschäden an den Mauern wurde 1536 die Burgfassade durch halbrunde Türme verstärkt.
Erst Maria Theresia (regierte von 1740 bis 1780) gab den Auftrag zum Umbau im Stil des höfischen Wiener Rokoko. So präsentiert sich der Prachtbau noch heute. Maria Theresia war nur zweimal in Innsbruck, 1739 auf der Durchreise und 1765 zur Hochzeit ihres Sohnes Leopold II. mit der spanischen Prinzessin Maria Ludovica, woran die Triumphpforte am Ende der Maria-Theresien-Straße erinnert. Die Hochzeit wurde vom Tod ihres Gatten Franz Stephan von Lothringen (an den Folgen eines Schlaganfalles) am 18. August 1765 überschattet. Das Sterbezimmer wurde im Auftrag der Kaiserin zu einer Kapelle umgestaltet. Sie ließ damals auch das adlige Damenstift errichten. Die Stiftsdamen mussten für den verstorbenen Kaiser beten. Mitglieder der kaiserlichen Familie haben bis zum Ende der Monarchie 1918 die Burg benutzt, daneben war sie auch Sitz der Tiroler Landesfürsten und ist heute im Besitz der Republik Österreich.
Baudetails
Die Innsbrucker Hofburg hat eine verbaute Fläche von circa 5000 Quadratmetern, es gibt etwa 400 Räume, unter anderem noch über 30 Privatwohnungen. Der Bau ist viergeschossig, Kapelle und zwei größere Säle sind mehrere Geschosse hoch.
Der große Burghof wird durch das südliche Burgtor erschlossen, weiter geht es in den westlich gelegenen, kleineren Küchenhof. Zu besichtigen sind auch die Prunkräume, u. a.:
Riesensaal (Festsaal) mit Porträts Maria Theresias, ihres Gatten und ihrer 16 Kinder. Der Raum ist 31,5 Meter lang, 13 Meter breit und 11 Meter hoch. Den Namen trägt er nicht wegen seiner Größe, sondern wegen der dargestellten Riesen auf Gemälden aus dem 16. Jahrhundert.
Gardesaal (Empfangsraum für den Riesensaal)
Kaiserappartements (Lothringerzimmer, Kapitelzimmer, Ferdinandszimmer)
Hofburgkapelle mit Vorraum und Sakristei

Cascadia State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Oregon near Sweet Home along the South Santiam River at Cascadia. The park includes a day use area, campsites, hiking trails and 150 foot Lower Soda Creek Falls. In 1896, George Geisendorfer opened a resort to capitalize on what he called the "curative powers" of Soda Creek's mineral spring water. The resort included a hotel, tennis courts, croquet course, garden and bowling alley. The hotel later burned and the property was acquired by the state of Oregon in 1940.

*turns it out was carrying the Governer and others on a tour of historic flooding of Nashville and Western Tennessee*
Our tour guide used to be a guard for the penitentiary and would tell us stories about what he had seen and heard.... He also had a small collection of home made knives in his trunk made from the prisoners that he claims have killed someone.... I wonder how he explains this to the cops when and if he gets pulled over.......
Known as "The Walls" and "The Big House." MSP was also infamously referred to as the "bloodiest 47 acres in America...."
