Am Strand von St. Maarten versucht er ein Foto mit landenden Flieger im Hintergrund zu machen. Das sieht cool aus.
An old apartment in Guimaraes, Portugal. In need of some tender love and care. Pigeons have taken over as squatters.
Take for an assignment on 'Hands'
My husband was busy constructing a new garden shed in the morning light at the top of the garden.

Thanks a lot for your visit, fave and comments. Its truly appreciated!
Or maybe not… ;) Anyway, another image from the marsh. I included a lot of space in these last two images, and that was intentional. On this sunny, autumn day the overall environment here looked beautiful to me—even this sad, abandoned house, but it’s not hard to imagine how desolate it will be once the cold and snow comes. Maybe I’ll go back in the winter for another look...
Frankenstein loves to tinker with his hand tools! Here, he's tightening up some screws on a cute robot he created. His creations are only made of metal or 3D printed pieces though, as human parts are too hard to maintain he says. ;-)

1957 Chevrolet Two-Ten 2-door "Handyman".
Have admired this beauty for about a year now from US HWY 53 on trips to Duluth, MN and stopped recently to ask permission to take a muddy walk and try to do it justice with my camera.
Bubba's Auto Salvage & Machine, Trego, WI USA.
I admire this vehicle for a couple of reasons. My father had one when I was a kid (which he bought used in the mid-sixties) and I always loved the shape and utility of the vehicle. Imagine a two-door wagon. My dad used it like a pickup truck, but also hauled his five (at the time) kids around on occasion. The best was riding "shotgun" when he had a load of stuff in the back. He built a vacation cottage in northern Wisconsin in the mid-sixties and this vehicle was the work-horse hauling all of the building materials the 1-1/2 hrs from Green Bay, WI. He was a working man and a scrounger - many of the building materials he used to build the cottage were reclaimed. The cottage is still in the family and a great seasonal get-away.
The second reason I like this vehicle is that I am an aging handyman myself.
Just a little work and this fine old farmhouse will be ready for you to move in.
Several have commented about the paint. It is more apparent in the large view, but there is no paint on this house. It has a siding on it that is supposed to make it look like a brick house. You can see under one window where the siding has come off. I haven't seen any of the siding in a long time, but 60 or 70 years ago it was rather common.
Virginia, Illinois. March 15, 2024. This "Gem" was spotted by one of my Flickr Friends in Vegas. He posted it on his Twitter account because at the time it was on Zillow for a cool $92K. It is still for sale. Great architecture. I did a walk around of the building in the dark. There used to be two more buildings right next to it where the vacant lot is. They collapsed some years ago. This building houses the former bank of which I shot the interior from out front.
and roofer, landscaper, carpenter...
Even with all the work needed, it looks like a lovely place to live.

1957 Chevrolet 150 Sedan.
Not really that rare but compared to the 57 Bel Air that is the most desired due to its top level trim, the 150 was the plane Jane workhorse of the group.
In the land before time ... that is, before the Internet, before homes had one or two or three TVs, there existed a curious creature: the traveling salesman of the '50s and '60s. This nomadic hawker of various wares and sundries would crisscross the U.S. hauling his product samples to show people-business owners, industrious housewives, farmers, city folk-how their lives could be easier and better if they bought whatever he was selling.
For such a task, salesmen needed a car capable of hauling various shaped products around the country, and have them still be in one piece when they got to their sales call. The first option would be a station wagon, the grandfather of today's SUVs. But some salesmen didn't want or need the large bulk of a wagon. Enter the Handyman sedan, the 1957 150.
When the '55 Chevy first debuted in the fall of 1954, part of the budget-priced 150 model line was a two-door sedan that replaced the backseat with a large package tray that stretched from behind the front seat all the way into the trunk. Designed for traveling salesmen and various business fleets, these utility sedans offered flexibility for hauling goods or cargo with easy loading and unloading.
The beautiful thing was, while the cars were devoid of the bright Bel Air trim, they still boasted the sleek, head-turning lines of the Chevy cars. And they were available with any engine option. In '55 when the top powerplant was the 180-horse 265, this wasn't terribly earth shattering. But in '57, that would all change.
With a curb weight just under 3,200 pounds, a 150 Handyman sedan with a high-horse 283 became the closest thing to a rocket ship Americans could experience. Even devoid of stainless and chrome trim, the '57 Chevy still turns heads with either one of the dual-quad equipped 283s or one of the injected motors.
Some people are handy with their hands. If I see buildings like these, I think it could use a handyman's hand. Made in Beelitz.
