Taken on 29 Oct 2007, this captures the interesting period when Stagecoach was giving way to Arriva colours in Darlington. A pair of Alexander Dash bodied Darts is seen waiting to go through the wash.

This is a feature of life during the pandemic. The queue on the left is waiting to enter the pharmacy, while the one on the right is for the B & M general store (excellent place for chocolate bars). People are told to stand two metres apart and some allow a bigger 'cordon sanitaire' still.

Ningú havia vist aquestes fotos fins ara, sobretot els que les varen fer. Fins que jo les he revelat ara.
Fotos d'un carret no revelat fins ara,fetes a Chicago,probablement a finals del s. XX. Aquí, la parella del fotograf i una altra dona, fent cua a la gelateria Ghirardelli.
S'anomena "found film" a aquelles fotografies en pel•licula o placa que es troben sense revelar dins càmeres velles o per altres racons. La gracia és que ningú ha vist mai aquestes fotografies.
Aquest rodet prové un conjunt comprat a algú de Chicago, format totalment per rodets de 35mm.
Aquest rodet, de format 135, era del tipus Kodak PMZ 1000. El vaig revelar amb el kit C41 de Tetenal.
===================================================
Nobody, even less the author, had seen these pictures until now. Until I've developed them in the dark room.
Pictures taken in Chicago, probably in the 80's or 90's. Here they are queuing in the Ghirardelli ice cream shop, in downtown.
They call "found film" at those images in film or plates that are find undeveloped inside old cameras or in other places, like boxes or old houses.
This film is part of a large pack I bought in the internet from somebody in Chicago.
This one was a 135 format Kodak PMZ 1000 low light film. I developed it with a Tetenal C41 kit.
Over 100 AFOLs were invited to attend an exclusive sneak peak of the store before its doors open to the public on 17th November.
The store entrance was covered by a large yellow banner imitating the box art referring to the ages: 0-99, piece count etc. AFOLs queued up outside against the banner just before 14:00 and the anticipation was building! As each person walked into the store, one by one they each person was greeted with a scratch card, a huge cheer and an applause by the staff. The scratch card was to receive 40179 - Personalised Mosaic Portrait or a 'mystery gift' which turned out to be a 40139 - Gingerbread House.
Once everyone had entered the store we were introduced with a welcoming speech by Kim Ellekjær Thomsen and two others. They mentioned you can get the Architecture sets signed by the designers and looked around and noticed an unfamiliar designer on the table. Then they mentioned Jamie and I looked back and I couldn't see much but slowly a small huddle of people revealed Jamie Berard!
The ground floor consisted of the brick built models such as: Big Ben, Lester, Tube Train. As well as a Build-A-Minifigure Station, Brickadilly Information Wall and a start of the product shelves and counters. The 1st Floor had the London Skyline Mosaic as you walk you the stairs, the Big Ben model poking through the 1st floor and this floor also has Brickley the Dragon wearing a hat and holding an umbrella (exclusivity to this store.) This floor also has a Mosaic Maker to create a portrait mosaic of yourself for £99.99 or through winning one with the scratch card. Keep in mind it contains about 4,500 pieces! It’s followed by the Play Table, another Build-A-Minifigure Station, Brick-Built Phone Box and all the rest of the product ranges.
During this event I was informed that Lester Minifigure / 30472 – Parrot scratch card was not given away with purchases over £55, it was handed out to each customer as they arrived on the 1st floor. Suddenly several members of staff came around with snacks and drinks. After that I bumped into several AFOLs who mentioned they are fans of my work and also quite a while with a couple of other familiar faces.

The 40145 - LEGO Brand Store was also advertised as a freebie with purchases over £125 however that wasn’t the case on 17th November. It was available to purchase for £19.99 only; not as a freebie, nevertheless I managed to talk them into one for free as I did spend the £125 amount, we high fived!
I left the best till last! It was a pleasure meeting Jamie Berard; in fact we had great thirty minute chat about his models and working for the company. I got my 10251 - Brick Bank signed too!
As each AFOL left the store we were handed a bag full of goodies; it contained the following:
-40221 - Fountain
-40140 - Flower Cart
-30446 - Mini Batmobile

-30397 - Olaf's Summertime Fun

Toronto has had a new express train service linking Lester B Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with Union Station in downtown Toronto since June 2015. However, ridership has never been strong and has been falling further in recent months. The most frequent complaint is that the one-way fare of CAD $27.50 is too high (USD $20, EUR 18, GBP 14, HKD $155) even though the government agency that runs it insists that the high fare is not the reason.
In any case, in order to promote the service and awareness, the Union-Pearson Express gave all passengers a free ride over the Family Day long weekend just past. I knew people like free things so I got up early to ride the train. Luckily I didn't need to wait at all at 10 AM. However, by the time I rode the train back to Union Station at 12 noon, the queue was over 1,000-strong and wait time was up to three hours!
If you ask me, yes, the high fare of $27.50 is the main reason people are not using it. My Heathrow Express fare between London Heathrow Airport and Central London is only costing me GBP 5.50 (CAD $11), because I bought my ticket over 90 days ahead and am travelling on weekends.
Finally, the express train also has an identity crisis, the service is known variably as UP, UPX, UP Express and Union-Pearson Express. Seriously, just pick one name and stick with it already!
