The control room, all aboard the CAF Urbos 3 Edinburgh tram 262 approaching Haymarket heading towards the city centre.
He's pushing all the right buttons & keeping everyone on track.
Saw some of these films in school in the 1970's. This is a 2 disc set put out by Kino Video. Pretty gory stuff at times, but the interviews and outtakes included are quite interesting.
Travus finally has his driver's permit!
Picture when he was one(1) in Tokyo, Japan; and now sixteen(16) in SoCal.
Both pictures taken in a BMW as I'm a bit biased towards the brand.
The driver looks a bit nervous, the girl is totally relaxed, while I am excited about the weird old train in the station. I'm happy about the shot in any case.
Apparently, this is actually an old train being towed away for scrap - thanks to R36 Coach!
The old Englewood High School was a brick Beaux Arts edifice nicknamed "The Castle".
It, along with the 63rd/Halsted shopping district, was the anchor of this community, and a quick glance through the back of Englewood's 1936 yearbook shows sponsor ads from businesses lined up along 63rd St. from Wentworth all the way to Halsted. And this was during the Great Depression!
On the driver's Ed Course out back by the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks was one of the places I learned to drive (unofficially, though -- my cousin Diane was an instructor, and she was teaching my 53-year-old mom to drive). Long story short -- mom learned well enough to drive for the next 28 years until she decided to turn in her license after a blood clot in her leg.
It was deemed outdated and dilapidated by the late 1970's, and was torn down to build this low brown-brick fortress. Eventually, even it closed as Englewood High School, and now, as Englewood Campus, it now houses the Urban Academy for Young Men, Englewood Campus, and TEAM Englewood High School.
And I can tell you from experience, it's a most unfriendly place to visit if you're not a student or staff.

Image from my online driver's ed course on what happens if you don't wear a seat belt... LOL
First attempts at a car shoot with multiple vehicles (eep), in the middle of winter (uh oh) for the electrified Chevrolet Bolt EV fleet of the local Young Drivers of Canada franchises operated by the Robar Family.
An old junked car in the virtually dead town of Ludlow, CA.
Ludlow is right on Route 66, but the businesses that served the traffic there have long been abandoned, leaving only the shells of decaying buildings and a few junk automobiles. About a mile away is Interstate 40, with lots of cars and trucks zipping by, almost oblivious to this gem of a forgotten time.
August 3rd (the day this was taken) was my second day of driver's ed. It's not fun, let me tell you. I have to sit for three hours in this teeny room and listen to this dumbass woman try to teach me how to drive - without actually being legally allowed to drive yet, of course. I mean, yeah, we get a 20-minute break to go walk around town, but still. At least I'm learning some stuff.
I can't wait until September 15th, when I turn fifteen and nine months and will finally be able to get my learner's permit. :)
This book I'm holding is the Maryland Driver's Handbook, which you're supposed to study before taking both the permit and license tests. Most kids don't, but I actually am. I tend to be an overachiever, and I want to be a good driver, anyway. :)
Currently listening to: This Ain't Goodbye - Train
^^I love Train. I think they're my favorite band right now.
P.S. Aw, hell. I've decided to have the print giveaway. I'll post a picture with that soon. If no one enters, whatever. I'm used to people not really paying much attention to my Flickr; after all, I'm 130 days into my 365 and I haven't gotten a photo Explored yet. It doesn't really disappoint me anymore, haha. :)
P.P.S. This "thought bubble" thing is something you'll probably see a few more times from me, haha. Sometimes I get home really late and don't have anything interesting to do, so the thought bubbles jazz it up and let you guys know what I was thinking about at the time I took the picture.
Circa 1995 - Minnesota: Teenage girl perpares for drivers education behind the wheel drivers ed with her instructor. Image is a vintage scan and may have imperfections
It's another Saturday (instead of Friday) photo. I knew this was the one I wanted to take this week.
The day has arrived for my oldest daughter's very first in car driving lesson. I took it as a good sign that the instructor did not try to make her back out of our driveway as her first experience. I have trouble backing out of that driveway and I've been driving for many, many years!
A few low opacity effects were added to this using Picnik including: HDR, Lomo & Cross Process
A weird one-- Spoken word and Folk-y Driver's Ed songs by Lou Adessa and Vince Benay-- Songs include "When The Wrong Thing Happens (Stopping Distances)," "Grown-Up Baby (Driving Psychology)," and "Nowhere Fast (Observance And Enforcement)"-- Rumor has it that Carly Simon is on this LP--

Monday -
After doing homework for three hours because it's stupid and ridiculous, I am less than amused. I literally had one minute to take this picture, as it was 11:59 when I looked at the clock. How pleasant.

Per Wikipedia, Parallel parking "is a method of parking a vehicle in line with other parked cars. Cars parked in parallel are in one line, parallel to the curb, with the front bumper of each car facing the back bumper of the adjacent one. Parallel parking requires initially driving the car in reverse gear into the parking space." Unfortunately for this young man, his father was playing the part of other parked cars and he wasn't quite 'adjacent' to the curb.
As the father of a 16 year old, this hit a little too close to home...
Saturday afternoon Flickr photo stroll. Visiting downtown Buford, Georgia.
