These tiny leaves are sort of peculiar. I don't know if the plant is dehydrated or if it's just a part of the physiology of the plant, but the stem of the leaf looks rather flat, doesn't it? Plants are such bizarre creatures in the first place when you compare them to animals.
Almost exclusively do they not rely on other animals for direct nutrition. Almost all of them are rooted in one way or another to a substrate. Their gross anatomy is so unlike ours.
Then again. Earth teems with plants. Maybe we're the odd ones.
A view down the side of one of the open atriums within Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ. Bell Works is the two million-square-foot building formerly known as "Bell Labs," where Bell employees did foundational research that led to discoveries and advancements in transistors, lasers, the Unix operating system, the C programming language, and CCD technologies. Several noble prizes were awarded to the teams who worked here back in the day.
Today, Bell Works is a re-imagined workspace, nicknamed the "Metroburb", featuring floors of private offices that overlook a giant atrium area full of specialty shops, restaurants, a basketball court, both Dental and Medical offices, an indoor virtual driving range, art gallery space, escape rooms, the Axelrod Performing Arts Academy, and the Holmdel branch of the Monmouth County Public Library. They are open to the public from 6:00 AM to Midnight each day, and it's a great place to walk some laps in bad weather in a safe, secure environment.

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.

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.
I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
This particular truck is the king of all rear loaders in Australia. I don’t think there are any other semi-trailer versions of a rear loader elsewhere, or any with a compactor featuring an apparent 38m body volume. This mammoth unit belongs to G&S Waste which has been using this giant to remove loads of kerbside clean-up from the Hornsby area in bulk, twice what the average truck can pull, or even 3 times the amount of some other 6x4 models. I understand this was produced in 1999 for WM to use for their hard waste collection contracts in Melbourne, but it came up for sale around 2015 and was quickly scooped up by this Sydney operator. Given the heavy duty fleet already used by G&S, this beast was the perfect addition. It’s basically an extended Compaction Systems rear loader, with the hydraulics powered by an auxiliary engine at the front of the trailer, and the whole unit pulled by this tidy 2008 model Western Star.
The interconnected steering/suspension I designed for my Volvo Wolfhound LMVs (pictured configuration), and other smaller vehicles like my MB G-Wagon on the right (using a four studs wide base). Works best for display purposes, but it also rolls and articulates quite well and it can be scaled up or down using different lengths of the old technic plates and clips/tiles connecting the wheel mounts.

One of my very early photographic efforts taken with a Hanimex Compact non SLR camera with a 40mm lens of dubious quality, using black and white film sees Holbeck allocated allocated 45001 standing in platform 1 at Derby with 1E24 on a wet and murky day sometime in 1974.
Locomotive History
45001 was originally D13 and it was the third of the uprated BR/Sulzer Type 4's. It was released from Derby Works and entered traffic in November 1960, allocated to Derby MPD. The first five class 45's were built with nose-end gangway doors similar to the class 44's, however this feature was quickly discontinued from the rest of the class and the doors were removed from D11 – D15 when they made works visits for classified repairs, as were the original split headcode boxes. At the beginning of February 1961 D13 moved to Sheffield Darnall for two months before moving on to Leeds Neville Hill. Whilst at Darnall D13 was used in a series of tests on the East Coast Main Line and Lincolnshire to establish load classification for freight train working for the new diesel locomotives. In July 1962 it transferred to Derby followed by a transfer to Cricklewood two months later. It was back allocated to Derby in March 1963 moving to Toton in November 1964 where it would remain for just under a year before migrating to Leeds Holbeck for a two year stay. At the beginning of 1968 it transferred back to Toton returning in October 1971 to Holbeck. May 1978 would see 45001 transferred to York followed by a transfer to Tinsley a year later. Its final transfer was in January 1982 to Toton from where it was withdrawn four years later in January 1986. 45001 was broken up by MC Metals, Glasgow during November 1988.

When I featured the Fujica Compact this time, I also introduced the Compact S and Compact D. I mentioned that since both the S and D I own are in perfect working condition, I wouldn’t be modifying them. However, to my (perhaps happy?) surprise, the D turned out to have a faulty shutter. So, I immediately took out the lens. Since it’s equipped with a large-aperture Fujinon 45mm f/1.8, I just couldn’t resist getting my hands on it.
Fujica’s rangefinder/leafshutter cameras with large-aperture lenses include the following:
Fujica 35 SE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 EE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 VⅡ ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
And now, this one:
Fujica Compact D ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
All of these lenses are truly outstanding performers — that’s Fujinon for you!!!

Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views. More information can be found here
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.

ODC Jan 22, 2023; 'ACT' or 'ACK' WORDS. A compact camera on compact tripod. The Rollei 35 is the most compact camera I own; it's quirky and it takes a bit to get used to zone focusing, but it's the easiest camera for me to carry on rides because it fits wonderfully in the pockets of my cycling jersey. I included my reading glasses and film containers as a reference for size comparison. All in all, a pretty awesome camera with a f/2.8 Sonnar lens!
Bought a used TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 online. Condition was described as "excellent" and they were right on, couldn't even tell it was used. I read that the TTArtisan lens was just as good as a Summilux for 10 times less. I'll try shooting with this for a while to see how much I like it, so far, so good. Summilux is on my dream list to own someday though.
