This was taken at the old München Olympiastadion station that served the Munich olympic park. There are excellent transport links on the other side of the park so this is not required anymore. If you ever go to Munich check it out, there is nothing to stop you getting in.

The Pest side of Budapest is flat with many pedestrian streets only. Its compact and walking around to the various sites is easy. If, however you would like a lift, this would be your typical ride for hire.
Street persons possessions and goods for sale in an alley off Gore Avenue on the edge of Chinatown. There are dozens of similar sites in Vancouver's Down Town East Side - DTES.
Gastown, enjoyed by tourists and locals (great restaurant choices) and Chinatown (on the way down and out - read TripAdvisor reviews and you will get the picture) are part of the DTES.
For decades DTES has played easy political foil to provide social housing without push back politicians would have to endure from more affluent neighbourhoods. As a result the community is full of customers with no cash with little political clout except for the myriad of do gooder groups, many preying on government funding.
This is a recipe for the drug trade to flourish and does it ever. The streets are rampant with drug buyers and sellers and home to street people who are hard to house or prefer to live on the street. In the 21 years I have lived in the neighbourhood, nothing has changed.
There are a couple of blocks I refuse to walk down during the day and never frequent the area after 10 PM.
My opinion, no supporting documentation to back it up.

A clean chrome BMX stands against a simple background, every line of its frame catching the light. Bold black tires, sharp geometry, and polished details give it a timeless presence — built for both the streets and the park. A bicycle not just for riding, but for style, freedom, and endless sessions of creativity on two wheels.
Historical re-enactment enthusiast, Mr Daegan Inward, riding a 1942 BSA airborne folding bicycle (sometimes called a "Parabike") which he personally restored. Designed to be folded up and strapped to a paratrooper for quick and portable mobility on landing. They were used by the paras/glider-borne infantry in Arnhem, but more commonly seen in the photos of the British & Canadian commandos landing on the Normandy beaches on D-day. Actually, they proved to be a bit unpopular - who really wants to ride up the road into battle on a bicycle? It was generally perceived to be better to be in the ditch instead!

Layered into the composition are the last two flying Lancasters, the MkX of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and the BBMF MkIII brought together to commemorate the aircrew of Bomber Command. A formation consisting of a Dakota, a Mustang P-51D, a Spitfire MkIXB and a Royal Netherlands Air Force B25 Mitchell are led by a Hawker Hurricane cross the airfield.
Perhaps the most famous of all Spitfires still flying today, MH434 was built in 1943 at Vickers, Castle Bromwich. This Spitfire is completely original, and has never been fully rebuilt. A delight to fly, the aircraft is beautifully responsive and extremely manoeuvrable.
At the beginning of August 1943, MH434 was air tested by Alex Henshaw - a record breaking pilot from pre-war days.
Within the month MH434 was scoring with 222 Squadron. It was flown in combat by South African pilot Flt Lt Henry Lardner-Burke, DFC (1916-1970), seven and a half kills, three damaged, retiring as a Wing Commander. On the 27 August in the St Omar area over France, Lardner-Burke shot down a Focke-Wulf FW-190 and damaged a second during a mission to escort USAAF B-17 bombers. On the 5 September 1943 Lardner-Burke and MH434 shot down another FW-190 in the Nieuport area, and on the 8 September 1943 claimed a half share in the downing of a Messerschmitt Bf-109G in Northern France.
In 1944 MH434 was transferred to 350 Sqn. Hornchurch, before being returned to 222 Sqn. After 79 operational sorties, MH434 was retired in March 1945.
MH434's guns were loaded again when bought by the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 1947. The Spitfire served with 322 Sqn. As H-105 - mainly ground strafing and light bombing missions - before crash-landing in Semarang, Java. After spending some time in storage, MH434 was repaired and flew again in Holland on the 10 March 1953.
The Belgian Air Force became the next owner of this Spitfire, and as SM-41 she served at the Advanced Pilot School at Koksijde and with 13 Wing at Brustem.
On the 26 March 1956 MH434 was put up for sale and bought and brought back to Britain by airline pilot Tim Davies. As G-ASJV the Spitfire was moved to Stansted then Elstree for a full overhaul. The aircraft was flown purely for pleasure and took part in it's first movie role, "Operation Crossbow".
November 1967 saw MH434 join the motion picture airforce of Spitfire Productions Ltd. Set up by Group Captain Hamish Mahaddie for the film "Battle of Britain". At the end of the movie in 1968 MH434 was sold again. The new owner, Sir Adrian Swire, Chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways, had the Spitfire painted in 1944 camouflage colour scheme with his initials AC-S, as squadron codes. There were several film and television appearances during this period, including "A Bridge Too Far".
In April 1983 MH434 was sold at auction to the present and illustrious owner, Ray Hanna and became one of OFMC's founding aircraft. The first major rebuild took place in the winter of 1994-95. MH434 has become a regular movie co-star and airshow performer and when not in make up for a role is flown in the authentic 222 Sqn. Codes ZD-B.
The OFMC Mustang was built at the North American Aviation Factory at Inglewood, California and accepted by the USAAF on 27/02/1945. One month later she was sent to the 8th Air Force, via Newark and Liverpool docks, serving at Leiston in Suffolk among other stations. She stayed in England for only 11 months and went back to Newark, New Jersey in January 1946. She was then kept in storage before moving to the Royal Canadian Air Force 9568 on 18/04/1947 and operated in Suffield, Alberta. In 1953 with only total 433 flying hours she was completely overhauled in Winnipeg. On 4/01/1954, after only 81 hours, she was put into outside storage in Carberry Manitoba, and sold in 1957 into private hands and registered as N6340T. The aircraft was bought for $5,400 in 1962 and had a total of 511 airframe hours. In 1974, she flew in the Unlimited race at Reno finishing second with an average speed of 384mph in what was effectively a stock (original) aeroplane.
In April 1980 the aircraft flew across the Atlantic to her new owners, The Fighter Collection. She was re-sprayed and known as Candyman / Moose from the name on one side of the fuselage and the Moose's head on the other. The Mustang was first displayed in the UK at Biggin Hill in 1981, flown by Ray Hanna, the OFMC's founder.
In 1989, after filming in "Memphis Belle", the aircraft was given a complete overhaul by The Fighter Collection at Duxford. The airframe was remarkably free of corrosion and damage, but a full strip down and component overhaul was undertaken. An overhauled original flying panel was installed. The rear fuel tank in the fuselage has been removed and a wartime style modification made to fit a "dickey" seat. This mod in 1944 allowed Eisenhower to survey the D-day beaches from the back of a Mustang. A special 1720hp Merlin engine now powers the aircraft.
OFMC acquired the aircraft early in 1999 and now carries the colours of Wallace E. Hopkins, "Ferocious Frankie", named in honour of his wife Frankie, coded B7 H of the 374th Fighter Squadron, 361st Fighter Group. Wallace Hopkins was born in Washington, Georgia and flew a total of 76 combat missions with the 361st where he flew as Operations Officer. He was an ACE credited with 8 victories and 1.5 damaged. His decorations include the Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross both with Oak Leaf Clusters and the French Croix de Guerre, one of four awarded to members of the 361st.
The OFMC Mustang played a major part in the Breitling Fighters Team and this year she will fly in many events throughout Europe.
Lancaster DV385 was built by Metropolitan-Vickers Ltd at Trafford Park, Manchester, at a stage of the war when the average build time for a Lancaster was 8 weeks. DV385 rolled off the production line in October 1943. It was delivered to No 617 Squadron at RAF Coningsby (by a quirk of fate now the home to the RAF BBMF Lancaster PA474) in November 1943 and given the squadron codes ‘KC-A’. The aircraft was retro-fitted with bulged bomb-bay doors enabling it to carry one of the huge 12,000-lb HC ‘thin-case’ ‘blockbuster’ blast bombs or a 12,000-lb ‘Tallboy’ bomb internally. DV385’s first bombing mission was flown on 16th December 1943; this was the first of four ‘ops’ it flew from Coningsby, three of them captained by Flight Lieutenant Tom O’Shaughnessy to drop 12,000-lb HC bombs against V-weapon sites in France. On 9th January 1944, 617 Squadron moved the few miles north to Woodhall Spa, taking DV385 with them.
“Thumper Mk III” (now coded ‘KC-V’) returned to operations on 3rd October, piloted by Flying Officer James Castagnola (later Flight Lieutenant Castagnola DSO DFC). On 28th October and 12th November 1944 he captained “Thumper” on the final raids against the powerful German battleship Tirpitz, mooredat Tromso. In common with all the Lancasters used on these missions “Thumper” was modified for long-range flying. The mid-upper turret was removed along with many other internal fittings, and ex-Vickers Wellington overload fuel tanks were fitted, along with a Mosquito long-range tank, increasing the fuel capacity from 2,154 to 2,406 gallons, giving a range of 2,250 miles. On the last of these missions, the Castagnola crew reported a direct hit with their ‘Tallboy’ against the battleship’s superstructure and the mighty ship capsized. For “Thumper Mk III” the war was almost but not quite over, and a swastika on the 32nd bomb symbol on the mission log indicated a German fighter shot down by its gunners – its luck was still holding. The heavy-hitting bomber flew its last successful ‘op’ dropping a ‘Tallboy’ against the Bielefeld viaduct on 22nd February 1945 and then, in March 1945, as the war approached its end, “Thumper” was retired. DV385 ended its life at No 46 Maintenance Unit, where it was eventually struck off charge and scrapped after the war had ended.
LF363 was built at the Hawker factory at Langley near Slough. It first flew in January 1944 and is believed to be the last Hurricane to enter service with the RAF. The aircraft served with No 63 Squadron at Turnhouse, No 309 (Polish) Squadron at Drem, where it was used on shipping protection patrols off the east coast of Scotland, and No 26 Squadron with whom it flew naval artillery spotting and reconnaissance sorties before the end of the War. LF363 was then stored in the open air at Langley, waiting to be scrapped. Fortunately, it was rescued in mid-1949, largely through the intervention of Air Commodore (later Air Vice Marshal) Stanley Vincent CB, DFC, AFC. After arranging for LF363 to be made airworthy, Stanley Vincent himself led the Battle of Britain flypast over London in the aircraft in September 1949.
Between 1949 and 1956, LF363 was held and maintained, rather unofficially, by a series of front-line squadrons and Station Flights, being flown on ceremonial occasions and appearing in various films. After a major re-fit at Hawkers, LF363 became a founding aircraft of the Historic Aircraft Flight, the forerunner of the BBMF, when it was formed in 1957.
Hurricane LF363 has been undergoing a ‘major’ servicing in the BBMF hangar during the winter of 2013/14, during which it has been stripped of its fabric and taken back to its ‘bare bones’. From the beginning of the 2014 display season, LF363 will be painted to represent Hurricane Mk 1 P3395 ‘JX-B’, the personal aircraft of Sergeant Pilot Arthur ‘Darkie’ Clowes DFM, of No 1 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. Clowes’ Hurricane had a fearsome looking wasp painted on both sides of the nose.
This C-47 Dakota was manufactured in the USA by Douglas in March 1942 and initially issued to the United States Army Air Force. In September that year the aircraft was transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and served in Canada during World War Two. It was subsequently deployed to Europe with the RCAF until declared surplus to requirements by the Canadians in 1971.
The Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough then purchased the aircraft, which was allocated the UK military serial number KG661, as it had carried the serial ‘661’ with the Canadians. During her time with the RAE, the Dakota was used for a variety of tasks and trials, including dropping sonabuoys through holes cut in the fuselage and for launching remotely piloted vehicles. Cleared for dropping paratroops, she often displayed in this role and occasionally appeared in the static park at air shows. For some time, however, there had been doubt about the allocated serial number. Research showed that the serial ‘KG661’ had previously belonged to a Dakota that had been destroyed in an accident. So the serial number was changed to a new one - ZA947. In 1992 the Defence Research Agency, the successor to the RAE, declared ZA947 surplus to requirements.
The aircraft was adopted by Strike Command and issued to the BBMF in March 1993. In 2004, an original and authentic floor and interior was re-fitted to the Dakota, returning the cabin to the original, wartime specification. As there are now no other multi-engine tail wheel aircraft in RAF service outside the BBMF, the Dakota is an important training asset used for initial training of aircrew for the BBMF multi-engine aircraft and for renewing the currency of the Flight’s Lancaster pilots each year. In addition to this role though, the Dakota is a sought-after display aircraft in her own right and, as such, she appears regularly on the air show circuit either on her own or as part of a BBMF formation. She continues to be capable of para-dropping and is used in that role for special commemorative events.
ZA947 is now painted to represent Dakota FZ692 of No 233 Squadron, around the D-Day period in 1944. This aircraft, which was named ‘Kwicherbichen’ by her crews, was involved in Para-dropping operations on the eve of D-Day and subsequently in re-supply and casualty evacuation missions into and out of forward airfields in the combat areas. The female nurses who escorted the casualties on these flights became known as ‘The Flying Nightingales’. By the end of 1944, 1,092 stretcher cases and 467 sitting wounded had been evacuated to England by the 233 Squadron Dakotas.
"The immaculate execution of this composite shot has to be applauded. It is brilliantly done and has a slightly surreal painterly / poster quality.
Again it stood out in the crowd and has a great quality and is very professionally produced. Photography is a wonderfully diverse medium and looking at this top 10, each shot has a completely different approach to the brief and way in which they were shot.
The desaturated tones add to the nostalgia of the shot and it has a good narrative." Janie Airey, Expert Review

Decided to take the KAT Bus downtown for the opening day of the Farmers Market on Market Square. Hopped on the bus just before 10am. It made a bunch of stops along the way, coming to our final destination at the Transit Station downtown just before 10:30am.
I walked through the Farmers Market in about 10 mins and decided to take a stroll through Strong Alley.
Afterwards, it was getting closer to lunch time, so I took a walk down Gay Street and popped into Potchke Deli. This visit, I ordered the Potato Blintz and got myself a Dr. Brown's Dark Cherry soda.
Once I was finished with lunch, I determined I needed to make my way down to Volunteer Landing Park to fly my drone. Took lots of iPhone pics along the way. Made it to Volunteer Landing Park and got the drone up in the air. Had to keep it at a low altitude because of the nearby Island airport. Once I had captured the images and video I was wanting, I made my way back to World's Fair Park.
By then, Beth was finished with work and scooped by and picked me up. I definitely got my steps in for the day!

It's not every day we get to roll out a new product, let alone one that we've been working to develop for months. We've been talking about it as a possibility for quite some time, but now it's for real: The Gaulzetti Inox is our stainless steel (KVA’s MS2 tubing)model and while it's a departure from every other stainless bike on the market, it is entirely in keeping with the Gaulzetti philosophy.
We will officially unveil the Inox this January 2012 and will be delivering our first production bikes shortly thereafter. We also plan to have at least one Inox at the handmade bicycle show in early March. More to come...
