Bar Harbor is a town on Mount Desert Island in Hancock County, Maine, United States. As of the 2010 census, its population is 5,235. Bar Harbor is a popular tourist destination in the Down East region of Maine and home to the College of the Atlantic, Jackson Laboratory, and MDI Biological Laboratory (Salisbury Cove village). Prior to a catastrophic 1947 fire the town was a famous summer colony for the super-affluent elite. Bar Harbor is home to the largest parts of Acadia National Park, including Cadillac Mountain, the highest point within twenty-five miles (40 km) of the coastline of the Eastern United States. The town of Bar Harbor was founded on the northeast shore of Mount Desert Island, which the Wabanaki Indians knew as Pemetic, meaning "range of mountains" or "mountains seen at a distance." The Wabanaki seasonally fished, hunted and gathered berries, clams, and other shellfish in the area. They spoke of Bar Harbor as Man-es-ayd'ik ("clam-gathering place") or Ah-bays'auk ("clambake place"), leaving great piles of shells as evidence of this abundance. In early September 1604, French explorer Samuel de Champlain ran aground on a rock ledge believed to be just off Otter Cliffs, and when he came ashore to repair his boat he met local natives. Champlain named the island Isles des Monts Deserts, meaning "island of barren mountains"—now called Mount Desert Island, the largest in Maine. Mount Desert Island (often abbreviated MDI), in Hancock County, Maine, is the largest island off the coast of Maine. With an area of 108 square miles (280 km2) it is the 6th largest island in the contiguous United States. It is the second-largest island on the Eastern seaboard, behind Long Island and ahead of Martha's Vineyard. According to the 2010 census, the island has a year-round population of 10,615, although it is estimated that two and a half million tourists a year visit Acadia National Park on the island. The island is home to numerous well-known summer colonies such as Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor.

c'est une "vieille photo" de famille, désolée pour la mauvaise qualité, bonne soirée à vous et à bientôt
A pour Automobile !
Remarkably, an automobile can serve as a mobile bird blind. Whereas a photographer in the open may spook a bird, a photographer inside an automobile will not. Thus, the whole point of the "Big Slough Auto Tour", Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, Brazoria County, Texas
My entire goal this weekend was to do a killer shot of my friend Matt's STi. Though not as epic as I imagined it would be, overall I'm happy with the result. Thanks for Explore #40, this one made it to 7!
La Bugatti Type 35 « Grand Prix » est une automobile sportive de la seconde moitié des années 1920 développée par le constructeur automobile français Bugatti. Forte d'un palmarès toujours inégalé, avec plus de deux mille victoires en compétition dont cinq succès consécutifs à la Targa Florio, elle est non seulement la Bugatti la plus célèbre mais compte également parmi les voitures ayant le plus marqué l’histoire de l’automobile
The Bugatti Type 35 "Grand Prix" is a sports car from the second half of the 1920s developed by the French car manufacturer Bugatti. With an unrivaled track record, with more than two thousand victories in competition including five consecutive successes at the Targa Florio, it is not only the most famous Bugatti but also one of the most important cars in the history of the automotive (Wikipedia)
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

1959 Rambler
1959 was THE apex year for tailfins. Virtually all American cars had them. This was a time when automobile designs were unabashedly ostentatious and proudly unique. Thus (it stands to reason) even the humble Rambler would get in on the act.
The Santa Special season has begun. Visiting from the KWVR is Taff Vale Tank No. 85 seen here double heading with Robert Stephenson 0-6-0 No. 35 'Norman' while hauling the 12:00 Santa Special from Bolton Abbey past Stoneacre Loop on Sunday 26th November 2017.
SOO 909 didn't often rate a pair of GP9's by late 1983 when I took this shot. 2408 and 404 are on the hill leaving Trout Lake with 4000 tons on October 18, 1983. With another 36 loads scheduled to be picked up between here and Gladstone the old geeps will be getting a workout before this day is over.
This truck used to operate in my area, I wish it still did. This was one of several Leach's that WM of Ormond Beach owned, and if I remember correctly, it was on the yard waste route
Panhard series 1 of 14
Panhard-Levassor a French made automobile. This 2.8 liter 1939 model put out 75 horsepower. Some models were available with the steering wheel centrally located inside the vehicle to accommodate countries that drove either on the left side or right side of the road. Top speed peaked at about 81 mph.
