1932 Chevrolet Confederate Series BA
General Motors marketed the Chevy Confederate as the 'Baby Cadillac' and shared many design similarities to its larger, more expensive, and more exclusive sibling. It wore a Cadillac-style integrated radiator shell, a longer hood, new deep crown front fenders encapsulating 18-inch wire wheels, and chrome-plated rectangular opening doors to cool the engine in the hood sides instead of louvers. Deluxe models, which added approximately $20 to the base price, added chrome-plated door louvers. The list of standard amenities included a tilting non-glare windshield, an adjustable seat, and a built-in sun visor. The six-cylinder engine displaced 194 cubic-inches, had 5.2:1 compression, overhead valves, solid valve lifters, and developed 60 horsepower. The one-barrel downdraft carburetor and counter-balanced crankshaft were new features for 1932, endowing the engine with ten additional horsepower over the previous year. The engine was backed by a three-speed manual synchromesh transmission with a single plate clutch and floor shift controls. This was the first year that synchromesh transmission was offered in all three forward gears. Mechanical features included the semi-floating rear axle, Selective Free-Wheeling (first offered in 1932), and an added frame cross-member to aid in ride comfort. Free wheeling allowed the car to coast when the driver took their foot off the accelerator pedal, offering greater fuel economy. Customers soon found the lack of downhill engine braking to be more harrowing than it was worth and the option soon fell out of favor.
The interiors had gas gauges located on the dashboard, plus additional gauges with a circular shape and dark-colored faces.
Factory literature claimed a top speed of 70-mph and period Chevrolet advertising stated 'Looming larger every day as the Great American Value.'
The 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Series BA rested on a comfortable 109-inch wheelbase and rode on 18x5.25 tires. Its wheelbase was slightly longer than the Ford Model 18 which measured 106-inches and both the Chevy and Ford price ranges were nearly identical. 1932 was the first year that Ford switched from the four-cylinder power to the flathead V8 offering 65 horsepower from its 221 cubic-inch displacement. The Fords had all-steel bodies, while the Chevrolets had the solid Fisher Body using wood and steel framing construction, plus a more rigid chassis structure and hard-rubber engine mounts affording the Chevy a smooth and refined ride at a reasonable cost. Closing a Chevy door framed in wood had a favorable and solid 'thunk' while the Ford and had a 'tiny clank.' Buyers preferred the solid nature, styling, affordability, and amenities of the Chevy, resulting in 306,716 examples built during the calendar year compared to Ford's production of 287,285 units.
Body styles and Price
The Fisher-built bodies included a roadster priced at $445, a sport roadster at $485, a coupe and five-window coupe at $490, a phaeton and coach at $495, and a sport coupe at $535. The Deluxe five-window coupe listed for $510 and the Deluxe coach was priced at $515. A five-passenger coupe was $575, the sedan at $590, and the convertible at $595. The most expensive body styles were the special sedan at $615 and the landau phaeton at $625. The special sedan was equipped with front and rear bumpers, dome light, silk assist cords, and a robe rail.
Production
The most popular body style was the two-door coach with seating for five, with 132,109 examples built. The second most popular body style was the special sedan with 52,446 units built, followed by 34,796 examples of the five-window coupe, 27,718 of the sedan, and 26,623 of the Deluxe five-window coupe. The most exclusive was the phaeton with 419 examples built, followed by 1,118 of the roadster, 1,602 of the landau phaeton, 2,226 of the sport coupe, 7,566 coupes, 8,552 of the sport roadster, and 8,874 of the sport roadster. 9,346 examples were Deluxe Coach.
Optional Equipment
The list of optional equipment was extensive, catering to popularity features that buyers preferred including single and dual side mount tires, a standard and deluxe tire cover plus metal tire covers, heater, outside mirror, pedestal mirror, trunk rack, dual horns, cowl lights, and fender well or rear tire lock. The list of Deluxe equipment that added comfort and a level of distinction included armrests, assist cords, curtains for the rear and rear quarter windows, a vanity case, chrome hood louvers, and two ashtrays.
The Confederate Series BA was Chevrolet's only model for 1932, albeit with 'Special and 'Deluxe' body styles. The company had used the single model theme since 1924, but for 1933 their lineup included the Standard Mercury (Series CC) and the Master Eagle (Series CA), both with six-cylinder power. The Standard had a 181 cubic-inch six with 60 horsepower and the Master had 194 CID with 5 additional horsepower. The Master rested on a 110-inch wheelbase while the Standard Mercury was three-inches shorter. Prices on the Master ranged from $485 to $565 and consisted of eight body styles, while the Standard prices ranged from $445 to $475 and included three body styles. The Master Eagle had an airplane-type dashboard and the Standard Mercury had safety plate glass. The Master Eagle proved to be far more popular with 450,530 examples built compared to the 35,848 of the Standard Mercury. The total production was 486,378 representing a significant increase from the 1932 model year. This trend would continue into the years that followed, with 556,666 (model year production; calendar year production: 620,726) examples built in 1934 and 544,457 (model year production; calendar year production of 793,437) in 1935.
Chevrolet would continue to use six-cylinder power, and two model lineup throughout the 1930s and into the 1940s, with wheelbase sizes that remained fairly consistent, growing to 116-inches by 1941.

The constellation of Orion needs no introduction. It's a rich area encapsulated by a molecular cloud and featuring some of the most destinct and most popular nebulae the night sky has to offer. These nebulae are popular targets for amateur visual observers with binoculars and small telescopes, particularly the great Orion Nebula (M42) and its immediate companion, the Running Man Nebula. But others are far fainter and benefit from large aperture telescopes or long exposure photography, such as the Horsehead, Flame and Witch Head Nebulae, and smaller, faint nebulae, many of which are represented in this field of view.
This is my first deep sky image produced with my new Nikon Z6ii. It's similar to a surprisingly good test image that I shared some weeks ago shot with my D750, only now with the constellation much higher, I didn't have horizon glow and treetops to crop out. And since the constllation is up much earlier, I didn't have to cut my night short. I would have actually gotten more exposure time but unfortunately the battery in my SkyGuider Pro died after 150 minutes, putting this session to an end. But overall, I'm very pleased to be able to share what I consider by far my best wide field image of this constellation to date.

This was one of the worst days and best days of my life concerning landscape photography. I ventured out eagerly to capture the fresh snow encapsulating the peaks of the beautiful San Juan Mountains after a fall storm was moving out of the area. The snow level was over 10k feet so I decided to make a run for one of my favorite overlooks high in the alpine above tree-line. The road only had about 2" of snow on it so I kept on going despite the steep terrain.
Only a mile from my destination I hit the steepest part and decided to make a run at it. This turned out to be a really stupid mistake as I got a few hundred feet up and my tires started to spin. I decided to back down near a pull off to put on some chains. As I was backing down I applied the brakes and immediately started to skid. I let the brakes off and my truck started slowly rolling again in low range. As I neared the pull off I gently applied the brakes again and once again I started to skid. I let the brakes off and realized that I only had 30 feet left before I would slide off a steep embankment which would surely destroy my truck.
I opened my truck door, grabbed my faithful dog by her harness and prepared to jump out of my truck. I gave the brakes one more try but just kept on sliding. Just when I was about to jump out, the truck finally came to a stop just in time. I set the park brake and jumped out with my dog in case it started to slide again. As I hit the ground, I fell flat on my face. I had no idea it was that slick?
I made my way over to a clearing where I tied my dog up to keep her out of harm's way and I spent the next 2 hours hooking my large tie-down straps to a tree and was finally able to winch my truck around without sliding off the hill and drove off exhausted and bruised up but thankfully relieved.
Though I didn't deserve it for being so careless, on my way back down, a crazy beautiful sunset broke out on the Grenadier and Needle Mountains that highlighted some of the most gorgeous peaks in the lower 48. I was able to catch a quick shot of Garfield Peak still in the golden stage of the sunset but quickly moved on to find a better position where I could capture a larger portion of the majestic range.
By the time I set up, the beautiful pinkish red highlights on the peaks began to fade but the color in the clouds began to intensify. As the picture depicts, it was extremely bright and a joy to look at. I only had time for a quick shot so I made the best of it. I was able to capture from left to right: Knife Point, Sunlight, Monitor, Animas, the tip of Eolus behind Animas, Peak Fifteen, and finally Turret Peak. Unfortunately, I had to leave out Garfield, Electric, Arrow and Vestal peaks but I felt very fortunate to come out of this adventure unharmed and I thanked God for helping me turn a bad situation in something so beautiful.

Tharros, an archaeological site on the west coast of Sardinia, encapsulates millenia of history, to fascinate and charm those who visit it. First documented in the 8th century BC as a Phoenician trading town, the oldest remains actually date back to the Nuragic civilisation. In later centuries it was also inhabited by Carthaginians and Romans.
The countless monuments include two necropolises - the southern and northern - in which thousands of artefacts, with grave goods rich in ceramics, jewellery and amulets, were found. The Temple of Demeter, named after a terracotta statuette depicting the goddess, the Tetrastyle Temple, which still retains some of its majestic columns, the K Temple and the Baths complex.
Finally, between the 16th and 17th centuries, several coastal towers were built along the coast at the behest of the Spanish Crown to signal pirate raids. Today, a breathtaking panorama overlooking the Mediterranean can be enjoyed from here.
Sito archeologico sulla costa occidentale della Sardegna, Tharros racchiude in sé una storia millenaria, capace di affascinare e ammaliare coloro che la visitano. Attestata per la prima volta nel VIII secolo a.C. come città commerciale fenicia, i resti più antichi risalgono in realtà alla civiltà nuragica. Nei secoli successivi, è stata abitata anche da cartaginesi e romani.
Tra gli innumerevoli monumenti ci sono le due necropoli - meridionale e settentrionale - da cui provengono migliaia di corredi funerari ricchi di ceramiche, gioielli e amuleti. Il Tempio di Demetra, chiamato così per una statuetta in terracotta che ritrae la dea, il tempio Tetrastilo, che conserva ancora alcune delle sue maestose colonne, il Tempietto K e il complesso delle Terme.
Tra il XVI e il XVII secolo, infine, per volere della Corona di Spagna furono costruite diverse torri costiere lungo tutto il litorale che avevano il compito di segnalare le incursioni dei pirati. Oggi, da qui è possibile godere di un panorama mozzafiato che si affaccia sul Mediterraneo.

In the lush surroundings of Hacienda Montecristo, not far from the cultural haven of Santa Rosa de Copán, I encountered the striking Lesson's Motmot, Momotus lessonii. The bird's distinct blue diadem, set against a contrasting black mask, offered a visual feast amidst the verdant backdrop. As it perched regally on a moss-covered branch, the motmot's tail, with its characteristic rackets, hung like an exquisite pendulum, adding to the elegance of the scene.
Capturing this image was a matter of patience and respect for the bird's space. Utilizing a telephoto lens, I waited for the perfect light to dance through the leaves, highlighting the motmot's vibrant plumage and the intricate textures of its environment. This photograph is a testament to the delicate balance of technical skill and a deep understanding of avian behavior, essential in wildlife photography. Sharing this moment encapsulates the essence of what we strive for as photographers: to portray the soul of nature's creations, encouraging preservation through our craft.

Thankful for another cycle that comes to a close, gratitude is the word to describe all that I've learned in this past year. The genuine friendships I've finally come to recognize, the art of cherishing my accomplishments within and sharing them only with those who truly deserve it. Thankful to the universe for another year of life and for all the lessons it has blessed me with throughout this journey. Congratulations to myself for staying strong, learning, and growing. Gratitude is the sentiment that encapsulates it all! Thank you for making this incredible year happen. I love you all ♥
A breathtaking photograph of a towering redwood tree in Muir Woods National Monument captures the majesty of nature in its purest form. The immense trunk, rich in deep reddish-brown hues, stands tall among its ancient companions, reaching toward the sky. The surrounding forest, bathed in soft, dappled light filtering through the canopy, creates a serene and almost mystical atmosphere. The towering trees create a cathedral-like effect, with their branches intertwining above, casting gentle shadows on the lush, green forest floor. This image beautifully encapsulates the timeless, awe-inspiring presence of these ancient redwoods, a living testament to the natural beauty of California’s coastal wilderness.
Victoriana encapsulated : Llandudno,the queen of North Wales coast,has this wonderful old structure currently on the market at £4.5 Million : a little beyond my means !! However,I have hopes that somebody will buy and lovingly preserve this iconic marvel...so evocative of a grander,less utilitarian age.
I originally took this photo because I spotted that fabulous,seagull shaped cloud...naturally occurring,better than anything I could have done in Photoshop etc. !!
Please, don't post any awards, banners, group images & graphics. I don't post in flickr to collect as much comments as possible, it's the personal words and notes I really appreciate and love!
Sunrise view from the balcony of our hotel in Nagarkot, Nepal.
Hotel Country Villa is strategically placed on the top of Nagarkot hill, thus offering the best view of the spectacular show upfront. It encapsulates all the elements that set Nagarkot apart. It showcases nature at her best, and thereby catapults its dwellers to the romantic self and promises of a splendid stay.
It is only 28 km from the international airport. The hotel area is vastly spacious; it is spread in 2.51 acre land. It is situated at 7,200 feet from the sea level. Here, you float with the clouds and can give audience to the drama unfolding the spectacle of the sunrise and the sunset from very close.
This shot encapsulates why I love the coast so much, there are at least five small caves in the headland in this picture, that provide wonderful places to shelter from the rain. They are like your own personal television room, with a wonderful ever changing seascape!! It was a wild windy day hence the sand patterns, but should a shower come I'd be straight into the caves!!! The birds often do the same!! This Radiohead classic sums up the experience perfectly!!
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, encapsulating the South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness.
Encapsulating carbon nanotubes with polymer as an alternative approach can be used to realise the surface modification. 4,5 A novel ultrasonically initiated in situ emulsion polymerisation approach was used to modify multiwalled carbon nanotubes MWCNTs) followed by their dispersion in a Nylon 6 matrix.6 Thickness of the prepared polymer encapsulated MWCNTs was studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy. Dispersion of the MWCNTs in the resin and interfacial adhesion was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy and testing mechanical properties. Heshing et al7 reported that pH value, the type of monomers, the type, content and surface properties of noparticles, and the type and concentration of surfactant significantly influence the ultrasonic induced encapsulating emulsion polymerisation and the resulting polymer stability. The focus of this project was to investigate the effect of the type of monomer and pH on the stable film encapsulated MWCNTs. SANS was used to investigate the surfactant-mediated growth of polymeric films at the solid-solution interface of carbon nanotubes. Conformation and the film thickness was studied using contrast variation methods (first part). Interface and the uniform dispersity of the encapsulated MWCNTs in the polymer matrices can be also probed by SANS.

The duality of life is often encapsulated by the contrasting narratives surrounding the red spider lily, a flower that embodies both darkness and healing. In folklore and literature, the red spider lily has been associated with ominous themes, symbolizing death, the afterlife, or ill omens. Its vibrant hues and striking appearance have inspired eerie tales and superstitions throughout history. Yet, this enigmatic flower also possesses a positive side, as it harbors potent medicinal properties. In traditional medicine, its bulbs are used to treat various ailments, from pain relief to gastrointestinal issues. The same flower that has been shrouded in stories of evil and demise also offers solace and relief to those in need, illustrating the intricate balance between darkness and light that permeates the tapestry of existence.
