AUTOMODELLISMO CHE PASSIONE !!!!

La famiglia di vetture W29 è nota maggiormente per la denominazione dei due modelli principali che l'hanno composta, ossia la 500K e la 540K. Si tratta di due autovetture di lusso che negli anni trenta del Novecento hanno rappresentato quasi il top di gamma, se si escludono le monumentali 770 W07 e W150.

Per prima è arrivata la 500K, che ha sostituito le Typ 380 e 380K e che a sua volta è stata rimpiazzata due anni più tardi dalla 540K. Nei progetti della Casa ed in particolare di Max Sailer, direttore tecnico della Casa dopo la morte per infarto di Hans Nibel, vi doveva essere anche un terzo modello, la 580K, che di fatto è stata realizzata, ma che alla fine non ha superato la fase sperimentale a causa dello scoppio della Seconda guerra mondiale. Comunque sia, anche durante il periodo bellico, alcune versioni particolari appartenenti alla famiglia W29 hanno continuato ad essere prodotte.

Oggigiorno le vetture della famiglia W29 rappresentano la quintessenza della produzione Mercedes-Benz degli anni trenta, in quanto coniugano alla perfezione eleganza, sportività e lusso. Sono molto ammirate ai concorsi di eleganza e spesso ottengono riconoscimenti particolari.

An emblem of Pacific Grove, Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continually operating lighthouse on the West Coast and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building, lenses, and prisms in this Pacific Grove lighthouse are all original, and it is still an active aid to navigation.

This is a photo I took during a business trip to St Louis last November. I posted an earlier version of this that was a single photo. I’ve revised it a bit and used several photos to blend in different times of day into one photo. Thanks for looking!

A pre-sunrise shot of the Albert Dock. Well worth the early start.

I am afraid to have previously described my photo as shot at sunset. I took it in fact at dawn & could remember it later on.

Checking the photo data, it says in fact as taken in August the 18 2016 at 06.34 CET

There is absolutely no retouching nor post-processing of any kind in this photo.

I'm calling this my "Best of 2021" image. I don't know if there was a clear standout from this past year, but I really like this view of the Columbus skyline (and at this time of day).

Vintage Kodak Ektachrome slide from 1969 -54 years ago.

The emulsion is chemically deteriorated and the color has gone off ,but yet I remember this summer trip when I was sixteen, armed with the family Agfa Colorflex 35mm camera with it's waist level viewfinder and excellent built in (manual) meter.

I am hopeful that I can restore nearly 600 slides left to my keeping by the family I grew up with.
