Würzburg is een stad met overzichtelijke afmetingen en de trams die er tijdens mijn eerste bezoek in 1977 dienst deden, waren compact. Ook de grootte van het in 1954 opgeleverde stationsgebouw is afgestemd op de behoefte van een provinciestad. Het voor de jaren vijftig karakteristieke stationsgebouw is ontworpen door architect Hans Kern. De kraam met worstjes voor de uitgang van het station ontbreekt uiteraard niet.
De enkelgelede Düwag-tram heeft ook deuren aan de linker zijde. Op het achterbalkon is een hulpstuurstand aangebracht. De wagens konden zodoende bij behoefte in tweerichtingbedrijf gebruikt worden. Primair zijn de wagens echter voor eenrichtingbedrijf ingericht. Men sprak in dit geval ook wel van anderhalfrichtingwagens. Op de kopwand zien we de verschillende contactdozen voor bijwagenbedrijf. Destijds werd er op werkdagen nog met kleine tweeassige bijwagens achter deze gelede trams gereden.
Tram 233 maakt deel uit van een serie van tien enkelgelde zesassers die in 1967 en 1968 door Düwag werden geleverd. Vanwege het krappe profiel van vrij ruimte zijn de koppen sterk afgeschuind. In 1982 werden de wagens door het invoegen van een nieuwe tussenbak verlengd tot dubbelgelede achtassers.

The final to my future-auto exploration. This time, based on several retro-future compact-car designs (including by Syd Mead of course). Ironically, this is the only of the three that actually fits a full figure.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
Hi!
I made a remake of an old photo, but this time, with a stop motion clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5d9783-Ib4
Enjoy!

To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.
Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?

Late 70's shot of a load of used Chryslers. I have another view of this rig but I found this better pic on FB.
I didn't know drops of water have dents.
Shots with compact sony and mini tripod.
Too little sunlight and poor processing of jpg.
A cosy box, Crewe Steel Works still has a good number of working levers, with its crossover and access to and from the Electric Traction Depot.
It's a 1935 built LMS type.
To those collecting Fashion Royalty from the beginning....can anyone tell me the story of this compact?

The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.

What a moment!
Two at the same time. One on my front, one on my back.
Shots with compact sony manual mode.
My daughter and I ordered two sets of these Sailor Moon gashapon compacts back in October and they arrived yesterday! We love them!
The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE
