I took a walk in the woods to clear my mind. There was a light that broke through the mist and gave me solutions...
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
How many people can remember that red plastic container of bubble solution with the stick inside that you can blow through to make bubbles? This is thought I had when I rested my tripod on Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.
The weight of the sky and all of its fabulous sunset glory was a perfect way to cap off an incredible day in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
There is nothing I enjoy watching more through my macro lens than a film of bubble solution before it pops. The level of activity is quite amazing. It reminds me of psychedelic art during the 1960s counterculture. Groovy!
I came across a slew of small Kansas towns this past summer, but this one was wonderful and photogenic. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name. But I found this old Chrysler and couldn't resist.

Amsterdam - Admiralengracht / Van Kinsbergenstraat.
Residential block, built in 1926 to a design by Bureau Gulden and Geldmaker.
This block does have an unmistakable "Amsterdam School" appearance, especially due to the attractive corner solution.
Architects Gulden and Geldmaker excel in usually more sober designs, but they could indeed come up with expressive designs (amsterdamse-school.nl).
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).

Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.
Normally I chase this ginger Tom away but as he is doing a fine job of keeping the birds off my cherry tree, I will give him a free pass until August 🤔😉
Stay safe

Už jsem to naťuknul u předchozí fotky. Ten týden zřejmě definitivně končila rychlíková kariéra jedné stěžejní řady. Kredence, loďáky...
Trochu sečtělej šotouš si určitě vybaví spoustu fotek z 60. a 70. let, kde dlouhá souprava "dvaašedesátek" upaluje s rychlíkem z Prahy na Budějovice nebo Plzeň, do Chomutova nebo do Mostu. Klidně dva motoráky a třeba tři čtyři Balmy. To je ta slavná éra.
A pak je tu tohle. 64 let od objednávky první série, 61 let od začátku její výroby, 50 let od jejího (neslavného) konce. Dvaašenda znova - a asi doopravdy naposledy - v důstojné, rychlíkové vozbě.
Strávil jsem s tím nádherný dva dny. Z Jeseníku do Jindřichova na rychlících i spěšňácích, a zpátky, sem tam, já stejně jako ony. Nebo spíš - ona. Oba dva dny tenhle úkol připadnul fešně natřené a celkem spolehlivé 831.183. Asi aby ta reminiscence na dobu minulou byla dokonalá. Byl to zvláštní pohled. R 902 Praděd - a na něm tenhle loďák.
Je půl pátý odpoledne a pro dnešek se tahle paráda zase chýlí ke konci. 831.183 sjíždí se svým Bixem po výluce dolů do Hanušovic. Tentokrát s odpoledním vlakem, který byl tehdy v jízdním řádu vedený s identickými časy jako R 1400, Sp 1706 nebo Os 3612. Je středa, takže platí ta poslední verze - přesto si dovolím právě tuhle fotku považovat za symbolický konec téhle poslední rychlíkové kapitoly.
Když tenhle motorák objednávali a už zkoušeli i jeho části, v československým letectvu sloužily jako elitní stíhačky Spitfiry, staré sotva dva roky.
40 minut po pořízení téhle fotky se proženou kousek nad Ramzovským sedlem dva Gripeny. Jako když vzdávají poctu hrdinům.
Lepší tečku bys nevymyslel.

When the ministry of transport ordered them, the key fighter aircraft od Czechoslovak Air Force was the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX. No war weary veteran, all of them were manufactured just a year ago.
Some 40 minutes after this picture was taken, a pair of JAS-39 Gripens roar in a low level flight just above this place. As if they were paying a tribute to some hero. Probably they had met with this train somewhere down the valley.
It is almost ubelivable that those two types of aircraft have both met the same type of train in - epic pause - active service.
M262 was a key type for Czechoslovak railways. Following the line of pre-war fast diesel railcars, it got some serious influence by German fast DMUs that ended up after the war in Czechoslovakia. Pretty conventional in appearence, but rather progressive in some solutions it was fist ordered in 1946, with production starting in 1949. it received mixed reviews in the early period, but proved sturdy, versatile and quite cheap later. With 238 manufactured examples you could meet it from west to east of Czechoslovakia, pulling the fast regional trains. Some of those had up to four coaches plus two or three railcars. Those glorious days in the 1960s and 1970s...
Having seen many iconic photos from this era, I would never belive I would have the opportunity of wittnesing this again in 2010. But hey, this is really the last game.
That year the last surviving examples, already ridiculously obsolete, were about to be retired, seeing just the limited use with inferior regional trains from Šumperk to Jeseník. But for a couple of days in September, the last glorious opportunity suddenly appeared. Due to the track maintenance, one M262 was literally closed in the nothern part of the track and therefore given a task of servicing all the fast trains on it as well.
So here she comes for the last time, at least for this day... Might she see those Gripens down the valley, coming for an unplaned tribute?
The two sticks hold aloft two strands of thick soft cord soaked in bubble solution, one short and one long. When the sticks are pulled apart a sort of hoop is formed between the two strands, and slight wind or movement can balloon out extremely large long bubbles. I would have liked to see just how long these large sausage shaped bubbles could last, and whether they would separate into a string of bubbles, or simply shrink into one gigantic bubble.
But as usual the competitively destructive children outnumbered the co-operatively scientifically curious :-)
The bubble surfaces shimmered with iridiscent reflections. Very hard to catch in a photograph, not sure why.

In fact, this is one of my older MOCs that I have built over two years ago. Some of you probably already know it from my Brickshelf gallery or Brothers-Brick. I have only reviewed some of the photos and they are now displayed in a slightly higher resolution.
For everyone who does not know it yet: this MOC is my favorite mecha from the Classic BattleTech series...in fact it is a Robotech design, but in the beginning it was also used for Battletech until it became "unseen"...whatever...I love this 75 ton steel monster...even if it is made of plastic....
