Expensive architecture around the famous lake
and a desired place for sailing. Not far to the boats!

Gediegene Architektur am See entlang
und ein begehrter Ort zum Segeln. Nicht weit zu den Booten!
Just a simple close-up shot of the corners of £20, £5 and £10 notes. I don’t love money but love the designs and colours on banknotes wherever I come across them around the world.
This kind of love is getting expensive
We know how to live, baby
We're luxurious, like Egyptian cotton
We're so rich in love, we're rolling in cashmere
Got it in fifth gear, baby
Diamond in the rough is looking so sparkly
Working so hard every night and day
And now we get the pay back
Trying so hard, saving up the paper
Now we get to lay back
Working so hard every night and day
And now we get the pay back
The pay back, the pay back

Deià vist des del seu cementiri, al costat de l'església.
=====================
Deià has been for a long time a prefered (and expensive) spot for artists, like Robert Graves, Adrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Douglas, Mick Jagger, etc.
An expensive car is buried in the large snow bank. It spent some time under the thick layer of snow, enjoying the music. The radio antenna is the only part of the car free and, presumably, workable. It's the end of March now. The car will be finally free of snow in a week or so, and the owner will get it to the service station or maybe to the scrap-yard. If there still is the owner. Black and white version. I don't know whether it is an example of surreality, a pattern of urban horror or just a case of I-don't-give-a-hoot?
The Limmatquai is the street that runs along the right bank of the Limmat in Zurich's old town. It leads from Bellevue down to Central. At the Limmatquai lie the Grossmünster, the Wasserkirche, many guild houses and the Zurich Town Hall. Most of the houses on the Limmatquai are classified as worthy of protection, and the townscape of the Limmat region as a whole is protected.
This metal thingi is on a bag.. i mirrored it so that's why it looks kinda weird and a lil bit like a heart ^.^ tehee ~!
E’ l’ultima delle 10 Nart Spider prodotte e la terzultima della serie 275.
E’ l’unica Nart venduta in Europa, certificata da Ferrari Classica.
Nata grigia, anzi esattamente grigio scuro, ora è rossa.
Ps: Nart sta per North American Racing Team (NART) che era la scuderia creata nel 1958 da Luigi Chinetti.
E’ una Ferrari da film. Una 275 Gts/4 Nart Spider ha infatti recitato in The Thomas Crown affair accanto a Steve McQueen,uno che le auto (e non solo) le ha sempre amate. Anche se nel film la definisce “one of those red italian things“. Una di quelle cose rosse italiane…. Una di quelle cose rosse e italiane che gli hanno fatto perdere la testa (un po’ come Fay Dunaway nel film) tanto che proprio durante le riprese, ordinò la prima Ferrari della sua collezione.
Hollywood a parte, la 275 Gts/4 Nart comincia la sua storia grazie a Luigi Chinetti, l’importatore americano delle vetture di Maranello.E’ stato lui a convincere Ferrari a produrre la versione spider da affiancare alla 33o Gts e alla 275 GTB/4 per soddisfare la sofisticata clientela statunitense. Un modello con una rispettabile storia sportiva: seconda di classe (17° posto totale) alla 12 ore di Sebring del 1967.
L’esemplare che va all’asta a Monaco fu venduta in Spagna, a Madrid nel 1968 a un colonnello della Legione Straniera che le mise targhe Sahariane (Spanish Sahara per la precisione) senza mai esportarla in Nord Africa però. Qualche anno più tardi cambiò di mano, restando in Spagna (con targa di Madrid) ed entrando a far parte della collezione di José Segimon che la testò a fondo anche in pista a Jarama. Nel 1982 emigrò in Inghilterra dove fu ridipinta di rosso e nel 1983 è entrata a far parte della scuderia di Albert Obrist, uno dei collezionisti svizzeri più famosi. Nel 1995 la famiglia Obrist la vendette però negli Stati Uniti dove il suo proprietario Terry Hoyle la sfoggiò spesso facendola arrivare anche sulla cover di Octane nel 2005. Nel 2009 la Nart cambio ancora proprietario finendo nel garage di Lord Laidlaw nel West Sussex. la moglie di Lord Laidlaw la guidò personalmente in un raduno riservato alle signore in Toscana… Una storia fatta di una decina di proprietari che fanno parte di una ristretta schiera di grandi cxollezionisti Ferrari (in 5 hanno avuto anche delle Gto in garage).
E’ una Ferrari gioiello, insomma.

One of the rarest roadsters in the world, the 1968 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider was first seen on the big screen in the The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen—a model the actor himself subsequently owned. Built at the behest of Luigi Chinetti, the first Ferrari dealer in the United States, Enzo Ferrari and Sergio Scaglietti produced only 10 examples—and each was given an acronym that referenced the marque’s North American Racing Team. Chinetti believed the American market desired the power of Ferrari’s GTB/4 coupe but in a convertible configuration, and that is exactly what the 300 hp, drop-top tourer provided. Still a competitor at heart, the first NART Spider took second in class at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, driven by wonder women Marianne “Pinkie” Rollo and Denise McCluggage.
Fit with a V-12 engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes, Chassis No. 11057 stands out in significance as it was the last NART Spider produced and the only one that was sold new in Europe. Bought by a Spanish colonel in the Foreign Legion, the car later travelled through several owners and became a prominent addition to the collections of both Chris Cox and Carlo Monteverde before eventually parking in the possession of Lord Irvine Laidlaw. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, the exceptional example is estimated to fetch up to $26.3 million, but who knows? If the bidding exceeds $38,115,000 (the price paid for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta through Bonhams in 2014), this Prancing Horse could take the prize as the most expensive car to ever sell at auction.

Grazie antonè per collaborazione!
Extremely expensive in 1938, and OMG expensive now, to keep it green and on the road.
1938 Bugatti 3rd Series Type 57C 3 Position Cabriolet, in that 3rd position crouching on the green at Pebble Beach. The 'C' designation comes from the French word for supercharger: Compresseur. The vicious rumor that occupants of the rear seat were consumed by the car has never been confirmed. However, it is hard to see back there.......
Unveiled in 1934, the Type 57 is widely regarded as a masterpiece from the hand of Etorre's son, Jean Bugatti. Designed to replace the Type 49, the new Bugatti was powered by a magnificent 3.3-liter twin-cam straight-eight engine and represented the ultimate in automotive performance and design. Bugatti continually refined the Type 57 throughout its production run resulting in three distinct series of chassis. The final third-series chassis –underpinning the car presented here – featured a number of improvements, as they were constantly tinkering with the engineering.
This car was originally equipped with striking three-position Cabriolet coachwork by Letourneur et Marchand.The company was founded by Jean-Marie Letourneur and Jean-Arthur Marchand in 1905, and by the 1930s was specialising in coachbuilt car bodies for fitting on chassis from luxury automakers such as Duesenberg, Hispano-Suiza, Rolls-Royce and Minerva.
In all, it is believed that only six Type 57s were originally outfitted as a Cabriolet by this prestigious French coachbuilder. Originally finished in green with a lighter, contrasting cove and green leather upholstery, the Cabriolet was delivered to its first owner, S. Jaspart, in November 1938 through Bugatti’s Paris showroom.
It retains it's original colors, and has been restored to an extremely high standard! If you need proof of your wealth and prefer to be conspicuous in your consumption then this is your car!

King's Cross, London. A lovely old van selling ice cream but the prices are a bit eye watering. It reminded me of these two young ladies in Burnley, Lancashire.
Ego Alley is a narrow waterway that spills out into Spa Creek. The name comes from the procession of expensive boats that parade through the waterway on evenings and weekends. Annapolis, settled in 1649 is the capital of the state of Maryland and is situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River. It was the temporary US national capital in 1783–1784.

I guess if you are going to spend 20 dollars on fuel to get a train picture you might as well get a pretty one. At least I didn't have to fly here I guess.
Unbeknownst to me, an extremely early 925 went through Oamaru at 5:30 pm today, but I managed to catch it in time to snap the train passing through this coastal vista at Shag Point.
With a short holiday-length train, only the lead loco was running, and the blue DC was a bonus. Managed another three pics before the clouds from the south encroached, but this one wins for me.

It's mainly very expensive clothes for people who spend summer holidays on boats. With summer over, I don't think there will be many customers. There was only one boat left in the harbour after I saw the last three sailboats leave. The canal will now be closed until next summer.

1936 Bugatti Atlantic Type 57SC
Most expensive car in the world, this Bugatti sold in 2010 for an estimated $38 - 40 million dollars to Peter Mullin of the Mullin Auto Museum, Oxnard, CA.
Only three Bugatti Atlantic's (a fourth is disputed) were produced. One was destroyed in a train wreck, the other is in the private collection of Ralph Lauren.
If you had an expensive car in the 30s, and wanted to also flaunt your good taste, you might approach France's premier glass sculptor Lalique, and choose a mascot for your radiator that emphasizes both your wealth and taste. If you also wanted to take it to the next level, you would have it wired so that you can light it internally, at night. Most place Chrysis, the high priest of Hera's Temple in Argos, Greese, as the most striking of Laliques creations.
Though you can still purchase some of his 30s designs today, to purchase a genuine mascot with provenance from a....oh....Hispano Suiza limo, it would cost you what you paid for your last car.
Chrysis was one of the last of the high priestess' from the Temple of Hera, the Sister and Wife of Zeus (no cracks now) and the Mother of the Gods of Mt. Olympus. Argos was in the Peloponnese peninsula not too far from Sparta. Further backstory would fill the library....but it is wonderfully interesting. This is a variation on an image I posted several years ago.

“Sewing is as addictive as a drug, twice as expensive, with no rehab, legal and gets you hooked in an instant” – anonymous.
Well, I don’t know about sewing, but I know that collecting Sylko cotton spools is! What started for me as a collection of about a dozen brightly coloured spools has quickly escalated into a collection of several hundred in a multitude of colours (both bright and pastel), and is still growing! In spite of my best intentions of not letting it get out of hand, the number of spools that arrive on a nearly daily basis at the moment is really rather ridiculous even for me, and my partner despairs, as I pursue some of the rarer coloured spools! However I cannot help myself. I just adore all the wide and varying shades and their wonderful names!
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 13th of September is "multicoloured collection", and as you may well know, I am a collector of many things. This meant the hardest part of this theme for me was choosing a collection that was brightly coloured enough for this week! I ended up settling upon pieces from my vintage spool collection, choosing an array of brightly coloured cottons including “coral” “gay kingfisher” “yellow” “oriental poppy” and “radiant blue”. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.
The Anchor brand can trace its history back to 1866 when the Clark family adopted the Anchor brand for their embroidery threads manufactured in Paisley, Scotland. Embroidery threads came into being circa 1812 when supplies of silk became unobtainable in the UK due to a blockade by Napoleon. Two weavers, James and Patrick Clark, turned their attention to cotton and managed to produce yarn which was sufficiently fine, smooth and strong to be used instead of silk for weaving. Sewing thread was primarily silk or linen at the time and the Clark brothers developed their cotton yarn into the first cotton sewing thread.
We had a significant ice storm early this morning. I went out to take some photos. I had my Olympus E-M5 Mk3 with my Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens. To make a long story short, I slipped and fell down the front steps and snapped the lens clean off the body of my camera.
The camera body suffered significant damage and is probably not repairable for any reasonable cost. However, the lens survived and seems none the worse for wear. And since the lens is worth more than the body, I guess that was the desirable outcome.
One thing you can say is that he is a colorful character ~
No expensive camera needed...just any camera and a very good Moulinex will do ;-D

That's a lot of legal business to sponsor a full-time supermaxi yacht like this 100 footer. Racing yachts like this cost anywhere up to $20 million to build and equip. The estimated annual running costs, including salaries for the professional crew, can be anywhere between $3-5 milllion.
Brighton Beach is famous for its 82 brightly coloured 'shacks'. In December this year, one of these shacks sold for well over $330,000.
I will leave any social commentary to others :)
A cloudy but lovely morning spent with the FFF plus.
Looking west with the Golden Gate Bridge to your left, Mt. Tamalpais to your right and a heavy marine layer in retreat over the Marin headlands.
You can zoom in a little on this one, kind of cool, expensive homes. Mid-day photography, something I typically do not practice.
The photo challenge of week 38 was “SIGNS”. When I saw this sign at a petrol station along the highway, I thought: more than 2 euros for a liter of petrol (fuel). Ridiculous! So that's why I took this picture, of a really bad sign.
