The Silver Dollar City groundskeepers keep things blooming throughout the year. These Compact Innocence (Nemesia fruticans) blossoms are used all through the park.

The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565

Agfa Compact, with Agfa Solinar 2.8/39. Introduced in 1980, it has a winder for film advance and the motor also moves the lens out and in, a very advanced feature in those days.
I bought this copy with jammed main switch, the shifter on the right side which also covers the viewer window. "Jammed main switch? Easy to repair!" I thougt. A complete misjudgement. This small camera (it is really compact) is jam-packed with tooth wheels, rods and levers, mostly unsecured, they just fall out if the camera is tilted at the wrong moment. You'll get a sophisticated puzzle.
Perhaps you know that some Agfa Sensors have a peculiarity: the rewinding is done with the advance lever. When you open the back, a part the bottom pops out and you can see the complicated mechanism. The coupling to the film cartridge also swings out, so the camera can be made more compact. Though the Agfa Compact has a winder for rewinding the film, it has that complex mechanism. No wonder, that most Compacts are out of order.
End of the story: I assembled the rest of the camera to take this picture, I have lots of small parts left ...
UPDATE: found a working copy and loaded it immediately with a roll of film. It's really a special model; it's nice, but I have to fight a little bit with the viewfinder and its brilliant frame, and every time the motor driven lens extended I thought, it could be the last time. The exposure meter is very sensitive to back light, only a small source of light in the picture causes underexposure, a button for back light compensation would be really appropriate. On the other hand, the lens itself can handle strong back light very confident.
The results were somewhat disappointing, colors were dull and the contrast low, but I blame the film for it, a Kodak Farbwelt 200 (although "Farbwelt" means "world of colors"). Sharpness is a mixed bag: some pictures taken under cloudy conditions are very sharp, some pictures at bright sunlight are not.
Examples:
For sharpness: you can easily read the "10" on the signs in the background.

Als diese Kamera 1981 erschien, war sie die kompakteste Kleinbildkamera der Welt mit Motor und Belichtungs-Vollautomatik. Auch das Gehäuse-Design war richtungsweisend und das Prinzip des motorisch versenkbaren Objektivs mit Schutzabdeckung bewährt sich auch im digitalen Zeitalter. Betätigt wird dieser Mechanismus durch einen vertikalen Schiebeschalter, der bei geschlossener Linse auch den Sucher verdeckt. Das Solinar ist ein Vierlinser mit der Lichtstärke 2,8 und der Brennweite 39 mm. Die Entfernung wird manuell eingestellt - Nahgrenze 1 m. Die Programmautomatik steuert den Verschluss von 1/45 bis 1/1250 Sekunde und die Blende von 2,8 bis 22.
Es gibt ein passendes Blitzgerät, das seitlich angeflanscht werden kann (wie bei der Olympus XA). Der Filmtransport-Motor schafft ungefähr 1 Bild pro Sekunde. Der Messbereich geht von 25 bis 400 ASA, im Sucher wird ausreichendes Licht durch ein grünes Signal angezeigt, sonst rot.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch zwei AAA-Batterien.
Offensichtlich war die Agfa compact als Fortführung der Optima sensor electronic-Reihe gedacht, denn man nannte sie zuerst "Optima 935 sensor". Weil sie aber doch auf einem völlig neuen Konzept beruhte, verzichtete Agfa auf die namentliche Integration in die ältere Reihe – sie hieß nun einfach "Agfa compact".
Dieses feine Gerät war übrigens die letzte in Deutschland entwickelte und hergestellte Agfa-Kamera.

This was a tiny nymph walking along a fence rail. Such funny proportions! Possibly Rhyparochromidae?
Watch out for this little fellow he's got some zing to his sting. You may have a reaction to his sting with itching, rash, welt or all three. When the're not curled up, they look like walking toothbrush's :-) This is a Tussock moth/caterpillar, or larvae stage.
I set the timer on my compact camera, balanced it on the arm rest of the bench, pressed the shutter button and sat down … too late. As this is daily selfie 3501 one would think that I'd have got it right by now.
(I did, of course, take several more – but I like this one best :)
Yet more interesting convergent evolution - a fern structure is useful for capturing distributed resources whilst investing the minimum in construction. Ferns do it on land, to capture sunlight, and hydroids do it in the sea, to capture tiny plankton prey. Interestingly, hydroids have a "sting" just like stinging nettles on land, but the purpose is to eat, rather than avoid being eaten. Bare Island
1998 BMW 316i Compact.
Scrapped.
Last MoT test expired on 12th June 2020 and, oddly, it has been granted an extension to 11th December 2020.
Here is a fairly young rubbish compactor station provided by Veolia to a homemakers shopping centre in Artarmon. The big blue Wastech hook lift container has been there for a while and receives cardboard recycling from a stationary auger compactor. On the other hand, the mini hook portable blade compactor had only just been delivered and installed for mixed waste, which I’m sure consists mostly of plastic packaging. The 1100L on the left was part of a small group of bins awaiting removal after being replaced by the mini packer, they would sit under that pair of grey chutes coming out of the wall. In this photo you also get a look at the independent power system which allows the mini packer to function, sitting just to the left of it. Usually the motor, pump and hydraulics are all integrated into portable packer units, but this mini packer (I guess due to its small size) has the drive system existing externally as a separate system. In most cases the collection worker disconnects a single electrical plug when removing portable units, but in this situation the driver has to disconnect the “packer in place” plug and also unhooks two hydraulic lines, seen sitting just above the red bucket which is there to catch any hydraulic fluid that drips out.
