The picture is almost 9 years old, but I still think the scene is quite spectacular.

In Philadelphia, waiting for a new role, the U.S.S. United States, the largest luxury passenger liner ever built. It is also the fastest ship to ever cross the Atlantic, still holding the record. She is 990 feet long (the length of 3 football fields) and sped along at 35 knots per hour (40 miles or 65 km). Imagine seeing this rush by!
Two of my family members were on the 2nd crossing in 1952, leaving Southampton, England, when emigrating from Scotland to the United States.

Mural (1989) by Gert Neuhaus, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Wintersteinstr. 20
Gert Neuhaus, who has been creating murals since 1977, says: "What I paint must fit the local area—have an intrinsic connection, so to speak, to the buildings and the people." The ocean liner 'Phoenix' is one of his early murals; with it, he references the nearby Spree Canal and the Berliners' longing for water and the sea.
Wandbild (1989) von Gert Neuhaus, Berlin-Charlottenburg, Wintersteinstr. 20
Gert Neuhaus, der seit 1977 Wandbilder anfertigt, sagt: "Was ich male, muß in die Gegend passen, sozusagen einen inneren Bezug zu den Häusern und den Menschen haben." Der Überseedampfer 'Phoenix' ist eines seiner frühen Wandbilder, mit dem er Bezug nimmt auf den nahegelegenen Spreekanal und die Sehnsucht der Berliner nach Wasser und Meer.

A magnificent sight and a great ship. Maybe we will see you again sometime, but maybe not like this.

To an untrained eye this might appear to be a tree swing. But those of us in the know recognize this as the cockpit of a race car or a jet fighter. Or perhaps it's the cab of a semi tractor-trailer, or the engineer's seat on a subway train, or the captain's seat on an oceanliner. Maybe it's the seat on a Harley-Davidson hog or a BMW road bike. The fact is, it is the dream seat. And if you never sat in that seat, you missed the thrill of a lifetime.

I have a lovely friend who is known to frequent charity and thrift shops looking for interesting bits and pieces for photography purposes. Often she sends me photographs of things she thinks I might like when she stumbles upon them, so I can say yes or no to them. Now, I collect many, many things, but dolls are not one of those, save for the occasional Russian matryoshka doll set, and even then they have to be special. Imagine my delight when one day she sent me a photograph of a beautifully hand painted and colourful Russian matryoshka doll set in yellows, reds and greens! I said yes to them, even though the set of five isn’t complete, with the third doll missing her top and the fourth missing her bottom. Nevertheless, that leaves three very pretty dolls whom I have enjoyed photographing over the last month.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 13th of July is “open day theme”, which is a theme without a theme. This means that the choice of subject is mine, must be new to Flickr and can’t be posted in any other groups prior to the closing of the group’s posting time of ten o’clock in the evening Central European Time. Since I have enjoyed photographing my new Russian matryoshka doll set, I thought I would put up a photograph of them. Here they are, setting off on a whirlwind world tour. Their wooden suitcases are packed and they have a plethora of destinations to visit. The suitcases, labelled with appropriately glamorous destinations, are from the 1950s and the background is a wonderful roll of paper printed with vintage labels from hotels and modes of transport from around the world. I hope you like my choice of the theme, and that it makes you smile.

This is the third photo of the Queen Mary Ocean Liner I've processed from my "drone shoot" on the way home from work on March 3rd, 2022.
I sent the drone around the liner and got perspective shots from each side. I didn't shoot the stern, and I want to hover it above the deck next time I do this. (The attraction has been closed since the advent of Covid and is currently getting ready for restoration, so it's a perfect time to photograph the ship. Too bad they already removed the lifeboats, which I understand will not be reattached because they were putting a strain on the 86 year old boat.)
When on the ground, you can't get a good shot from this "angle" because the Russian Submarine attraction blocks the liner. One time I attempted to use the eraser and clone tools and "erase" the sub, but it didn't work. At least with the drone, I can just move the perspective enough that the sub isn't noticed.

Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White Star when the vessel entered service). Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, Queen Mary along with her running mate, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, were built as part of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, Cherbourg, and New York City. The two ships were a British response to the superliners built by German and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced in that role by Queen Elizabeth. The vessel also held the Blue Riband from 1936 to 1937 and then from 1938 to 1952 when she was beaten by the new SS United States.
Queen Mary sailed on her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936 and captured the Blue Riband in August of that year; she lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937 and recaptured it in 1938. With the outbreak of World War II, she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers for the duration of the war. Following the war, Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service and along with Queen Elizabeth commenced the two-ship transatlantic passenger service for which the two ships were initially built. The two ships dominated the transatlantic passenger transportation market until the dawn of the jet age in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s Queen Mary was aging and though still among the most popular transatlantic liners, was operating at a loss.
After several years of decreased profits for Cunard Line, Queen Mary was officially retired from service in 1967. She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October 1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach, California, United States, where she remains permanently moored. Much of the machinery including two of the four steam turbines, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers were removed, and the ship now serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum, and hotel. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has accepted the Queen Mary to be part of the Historic Hotels of America.
Lets start the Berlin brutalist adventures.
The Mäusebunker (Mouse Bunker)... holy moly!!! If someone says this building is pretty, I'm wondering what they been smoking.
They started building the Mäusebunker in 1971, and it was in operation from 1981. Function as a laboratory for animal tests, resulted in the general public’s distaste for it. Its been abandoned for years, and the building slowly gained acceptance and even a cult status among brutalist fans. Its been talks of demolition for years, but it still stands.
Quite uniquely, it dares to appear dangerous and menacing, referencing the hazardous work with microbes and viruses, instead of hiding or idealising its inner workings. This is a child of the space age, fusing the Modernist fascination with oceanliners with sci-fi visions of spaceships. The cannon-shaped pipes assure that fresh air gets drawn in far away from the building's hull, and north-facing triangular windows allow for controlled test settings.
The area around the bunker is fenced off, but I managed to find a hole and got inside (dont tell my mom).
What is this film you might ask? This is Eastman Kodak Hi-Fi 2374 sound recording film (respooled by FPP). There is a imprinting of the code on the emultion. Never intended as a pictorial film. Had the bunker in mind for this film.

The Norwegian fjords were popular destinations for cruise ships already in the 1930s. In 1934 Oslo photographer Anders Beer Wilse took this picture of the Canadian Steamship Company ocean liner/cruise ship Australian Empress in the Nordfjord (Western Norway). The Fjord Horse driven hackney probably took him to the best location for the picture.

Brunel's SS GREAT BRITAIN is the ship, from which all subsequent screw propelled ocean liners were subsequently developed. Launched in 1843 she was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company. She made her maiden voyage on July 26, 1845.
SS GREAT BRITAIN was returned to Bristol for preservation back in 1970 from the Falkland Islands where it had been used as a storage hulk.
