I liked to flag unit much better than the map unit and seemed to see it more often. Here it is leading a CN train out of Trout Lake heading for Munising on March 7, 2002. Despite inroads of IC GP40/s, CN GP40-2LW''s and CN GP38's the WC units remained fairly common in the Yoopee. 3027 and 3012 look pretty good in this late winter scene.

Bellísima ¿verdad? Inspira tanto orgullo y tantos himnos :-D
¿Quién me puede decir de cuál tomé este fragmento?
1935 Swallow SS 1 Four Seat Coupe.
William Lyons' Swallow Corp had made it's place in the sun by making sporty side cars in the 20s and then by sporting up cheap Austin 7s and tiny Morris models. Using both engine and chassis from John Black's Standard Motors, he created his own complete car, radical and gorgeous, first shown in 1931, and available for sale in '32, that featured a very low silhouette, and a markedly long hood that just shouted class and speed, though it was markedly underpowered at first.
The leather and wood interior was first rate and it was a major bargain when considering only looks. Eventually they upped the power, but these wonderfully sleek first cars were lookers and not goers. The later SS 100 with the 3.5 engine would usually reach an actual 100mph (fast for this day and the road conditions, but this SS 1 tops out at 75 mph, helped if the road is down-hill. It was post war that Jaguar (renamed due to the SS looking just like the insignia of the feared Nazi group) came into it's own engine wise, with their own creation, a killer twin OHC straight 6 that brought them 5 LeMans wins, and they finely had that rare combination of speed, and looks that made the marque so supremely special.
In the back your can see the Enns belfry (1564-1568). 60 Meters high. A warm and sunny day, very windy.

The most beautiful sports/racing car you have never heard of. This is the first Scarab (Mark1) that Lance Reventlow converted from pure racing to street legal. Powered by the Chevy Corvette's 283 bored out significantly, the car was amazingly successful.
I will add more of the incredible story tonight after chores (the rain is coming).

...Une nouvelle série. Elle risque d'être longue ... très longue !
Rupture du format carré, pas de titre sinon que "gravé" sur chaque photo les coordonnées GPS "d'un lieu d'un instant revécu". En effet toutes les photos de cette série sont issues de mes 1ères photos faites en 2009 avec un modeste Samsung.
Merci à celui ci que j'ai épuisé, fini avec du Scotch pour son étanchéité ...
et qui m'a offert une "ouverture" au monde !
La série est une série d'une chronologie 2009

A new series. Out of square format, no title except that "engraved" on each photo GPS coordinates "a place of reliving a moment." In fact all the photos in this series are from my 1st photos made in 2009 with a modest Samsung.
Thank you for this one I've exhausted, finished with Scotch for his seal ...
and offered me a "window" to the world!
Class winning 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron, with all the bells, whistles and Bling to set you well apart from the hoi-paloi in their Chevys and Fords.
Introduced for the 1931 model year, the Chrysler Series CG Imperial was larger, more powerful and more luxurious than its predecessor. Styled by Al Leamy, the Imperial CG borrowed heavily from the Leamy-designed Cord L-29, and featured a v-shaped radiator, an elongated hood, flowing fenders and a split windshield with a steeper rake than the Cord. Amenities included passenger sun visors, adjustable seats, an adjustable steering column, hydraulic brakes, vibration-dampening rubber engine mounts, rust-proofed body and fenders, and laminated safety glass.
Starting at 'only' $3,575 for a LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton, full-custom options hiked the price significantly higher. Given the state of the U.S. economy in 1931, it’s not surprising that a mere 85 LeBaron dual-cowl phaetons were ordered by customers.
Power for all CG Imperials came from a new 384.83-cu.in. straight-eight L-head engine, rated at 125 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The dash from 0 to 60 MPH took in the neighborhood of 20 seconds, and the plus-size Imperial, which measured 17 feet from stem to stern, was reportedly capable of hitting 96 MPH.

Don't know the species but the color changes are wonderful. It was living contentedly next door to the previous Hibiscus. It does well enlarged.

T4 stops to flag a malfunctioning crossing after a collision with a truck, allowing us time to leapfrog ahead.
I loved the puzzle shapes of the branches, against a gorgeous blue sky, flying four flags from the Tulip Festival!
I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.
