This looks a little like some fine Waterford crystal. It's actually crystal, showing the center portion of a 1920s FIAT headlamp!!! What would we pay today for a decanter or pitcher with a similar design? At lot!
This is at the Vehicle Vault in Parker, CO, which has wonderful collection of vintage and muscle cars.
Single exposure with voice-activated lighting system, white flashlight and red headlamp. I yelled "exposing" and a short flash of white light on the front of the building, then a quick run to the back and red headlamp through the windows. After several laps and further pictures, my lighting system would no longer "recharge." We walked down to McClures Beach where I took the image preceding this one. www.flickr.com/photos/mkirschbaum/8403746051/in/photostream

As I drove home I stopped and looked into the woods near my house, lit up by my car headlamps.
(Unlike Robert Frost I did not have "Miles to go before I sleep.")
DS - the two letters which haunt Citroen. The DS of 1955 was arguably the most advanced and beautiful car in the world at launch.
It is true that many of the ingredients had already been tried out before. The car looked like a hovercar, and rode that way too. The DS lived on to 1975, when it still looked futuristic. Its replacement, the CX was also advanced and comfortable, the Wankel rotary engine it was set to debut with was problematic however, and the funding drain of a new car, with an engine that wasn't working properly caused Citroen into bankruptcy and the arms of Peugeot parent PSA.
PSA was keen to stop some of teh madness, and though the y allowed the CX and GS to continue, they closed down the exclusive Maserati-engined SM luxury coupe line early (having been unable to move the car successfully in the US - bizarrely due to the high-variable suspension making the car fall foul of US Headlight laws!). The rest of the Citroen range was rationlised over time to share platforms and mechanical systems with Peugeot, and gradually, the brand lost much of its inventive distinctiveness in the name of cost rationalisation.
Sadly, by the 1990s, Citroen became the 'cost-brand' arm of PSA, selling average cars on cost and a long-revered name rather than style and innovation.
Fortunately, it was seen that this was not going to be a road to success, as the European (and American) markets were now been competitively fought by competent and increasing innovative, quality Japanese and Korean brands, and that to survive, it was in the interest of European marques to provide content that customers valued and would pay for.
Enter the DS.
The brand has now gained greater planning freedom, and is known as DS Automobiles, but at it genesis with the Citroen DS3 (and Citroen C3/C4 derivative) in 2009, the sub-rand intent was to provide vehicles of stylistic distinction and material quality (somewhat like the relaunch of Mini).
The DS5, an EMP2 chassis derivative sat at the top of the range at launch in 2011. The car could be described in many disparate terms that do not do the whole justice. The car rides on a long wheelbase. The car is shaped somewhere between a hatchback, wagon and an MPV. Chrome highlights, including a spear running from the headlamps up to the 2nd A-pillar and a curious beltline liven up the exterior, but the real party trick is the interior.
The car seats are embossed in what is known as 'watchstrap' trim, kind of like a gentleman's 1970s era watchband. The car has three sunroofs. One small one over each front seat, and a large one over the rear row. The car has an aeroplane flight deck control deck with buttons on the roof between the sunroofs that mirror those on the centre console. Luxury is high, with massage seats, sat nav, heated seats and other luxuries.
You will note the miniland fig standing with the car is wearing my trademark navy and white stripe pullover - I definitely have a soft spot for the DS5 - its looks, its luxury and its precipitous depreciation. I periodically temped to pick up a 3-year old car at half of its original price, to cruise around with my butt gently warmed and massaged by the seats.

This Lego miniland-scale Citroen DS5 has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 115th Build Challenge, - "The French Connection", - for vehicles with some connection with France.
A beautifully colored inward look at a prismatic distortion of the surrounding display of holiday lights reflecting off the interior prism of a modern automobile headlamp.

India's 3rd longest running train - 16317 Kanniyakumari Shri Mata Vaishnavo Devi Katra HIMSAGAR express departs Nagercoil Junction and makes way towards Trivandrum Central with LED headlamps fitted RPM WAP-7 37143 in charge.
Another one inspired by the upcoming Macro Mondays' group theme "Trains, Planes & Automobiles". Yet another unlikely to be used for submission to the group which has a limit of one photo per week.
Off something European and early 1980s I reckon. There is a reference number on it - 301-119 428. I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything.
春を感じたい今日この頃。

Not a very professional video, I know, but it makes the point! Different manufacturers use different plastic formulas, so this doesn't work on all headlamps. However, it has worked on 3 of 4 of my vehicles. If it doesn't work on yours, don't blame me... Good Luck! Oh, and only use 100% cotton cloth!
I didn't realize that Darkday was shooting me as I got up and walked towards her with my headlamp on. This is the result.

Nevada State Railroad Museum Engineer Kevin Owens checks the results of some adjustments he's just made on the headlamp on Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Co. #1 "Glenbrook." As can be seen in this image, the headlamp on this little 1875-vintage Baldwin Mogul is an authentic, kerosene-burning, oil lamp. Needless to say, the lighting provided by this type of headlamp pales in comparison to that provided by the Pyle Electric Arc Lamps that became available just before the beginning of the 20th Century.
This image was captured during the last day of the August, 2021 "Victorian Iron Horse Round-Up" event at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. While there was no intent to actually run either of the two Victorian wood-burners at night, the engine crews were ultimately faced with that situation when a cross-railroad excursion from Antonito, CO to Chama, NM arrived at Cumbres Pass around sunset. The tandem duo of Eureka & Palisade #4 and Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Co. #1 would have to make the run from Cumbres to Chama in the dark. Ultimately, for safety reasons, the crews elected to station a crew member on the fireman's seat of Eureka, shining a powerful, battery-powered, LED spotlight on the track ahead. After talking with a crew member who was in the cab that night, it became obvious as to why they chose this course of action. When I asked him how effective Eureka's oil-lamp headlight was, his response was: "Just bright enough to see what you're about to hit."
