Evening race. Swedish banker and industrialist Marcus Wallenberg´s 8 mR yacht Ilderim racing in the Sandhamn regatta in 1936. My restoration and digital hand colorization of the original BW image in the Swedish Maritime Museum archive (digitaltmuseum.se). The photographer is not known.
"Ilderim was built in 1936 for banker and industrialist Marcus Wallenberg to participate in the Berlin Olympics held in Kiel. The boat was designed by the famous Swedish yacht architect Tore Holm. Ilderim proved to be a fast boat during the Olympics, winning several races. However, to Wallenberg's great disappointment, Ilderim was disqualified in the seventh race following an incident with the Finnish yacht Cheerion. Film footage taken from a zeppelin airship was used as evidence in the situation, and historical accounts blame the political climate of Germany at the time for the treatment. In the final standings, Ilderim finished fourth, with Italy and Germany surpassing it for the podium positions. To Wallenberg's delight, Ilderim won the European Championship, the Coppa 'd Italia, in Geneva the following year. After the war years, Ilderim continued competing in England's Solent and the Riviera. Over the years, it has called ports in France, Portugal, Ireland, and Scotland its home before arriving in Finland in 2010."

Large lemon yellow flowers open in the evening and close at noon. The roots are edible and the seeds are important as bird seed. They are biennial.
The last month has been a busy birding time and I am trying to get some of the backlog sorted out. I had a great find with these Evening Grosbeaks in the Columbia Valley.
