I took this photo off the tv screen and then used some painterly effects from BeFunky.
I remember these days but certainly not recently
Despire the large antennas on top of the building, people back in the day still had trouble getting good TV reception. Needless to say, they were trapped in a grayscale world... except for the one guy with the satellite antenna.

2019 British Formula One Grand Prix, Silverstone Circuit, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom, Sunday 14th July 2019.
About the photograph.
This is Starspeed’s VIP charter helicopter. In the first photo, it was on the landing pad with the engine running, and in the second photo, it is taking off, seen from different angles as I moved along a little bit.
I am a Formula One fan, I love watching F1 on television since my early teens, and this was my first ever real-life experience, watching a real race with my own eyes.
I had saved up and managed to get myself a ticket to the British Grand Prix, I could only afford to pay for Sunday’s race day, instead of the full weekend package.
I drove all the way to Silverstone Circuit in my Land Rover Freelander, arrived there in the morning, even thought the race was due to start in the afternoon.
So I walked all the way around the Silverstone Circuit, stopping at funfairs, trade stalls, food stalls, and stuff like that, while watching the F2 and F3 through the gaps between stands and grandstands.
Here at the helicopter area, at the south part of the circuit, approximately slightly on the east side of the area, I stopped to take a look at those helicopters.
Well, I like helicopters, I’ve them on television, in movies, at air-shows, and museums, and anywhere else. I’ve been close enough to touch one, but they were at museums and not operational. This is my first time ever, being close to one (on the other side of a chain link fence), close enough to feel the rotor downwash.
So I decided to take some photos, and as that was my first time ever, I wasn’t sure of what shutter speed to go for, I tend to go for wide aperture and let the camera’s program chose the shutter speed.
It was really cool to see them close up, take shots of them, and even feel the wind from its rotor.
Please note that I like helicopters, but I’m not an expert on helicopters.
Best I could find out about this helicopter is that, it is a Eurocopter EC155 (now renamed as Airbus Helicopter H155.) This is a B1 model, serial number 6852, registered as G-CFOJ. It is operated by a VIP charter company called Starspeed.
It is a long-range medium lift helicopter, capable of carrying up to a maximum of 6 passengers, and the first maiden flight of the EC155 was in 1997. I think this one, G-CFOJ was made in 2008. Here, it was used to ferry passengers to the British Formula 1 event.

An image from the world of the spotted balls. There are ports in these balls in which we can behold the wonderful world of network sitcoms and "reality" programming, in which people fight and argue to be the sole survivor of some meaningless situation.
I love and respect TV too much to harm or destroy any TV, so I did not throw this brick through this old TV. Some kids must have had fun doing this, as the TV is placed on top of an old stable.
Las Vegas (often abbreviated to "Vegas") is the most populous city in the state of Nevada, United States, the seat of Clark County, and an internationally known vacation, shopping, entertainment, and gambling destination. It was established in 1905 and officially became a city in 1911. It is the largest U.S. city founded in the 20th century.
The name Las Vegas is often applied to the unincorporated areas of Clark County that surround the city, especially the resort areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip. This 4½ mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard is mostly outside the Las Vegas city limits, in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester.
The center of gambling in the United States, Las Vegas is marketed as The Entertainment Capital of the World and is famous for its massive, lavish casino resorts. It is also commonly known as Sin City, due to the popularity of legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages at any time (as is true throughout Nevada), and various forms and degrees of adult entertainment. The city's glamorous image has made it a popular setting for films and television programs.
This photo will be will be used by Josh Rubenstein for his CBS 2 and KCAL 9 (Los Angeles, CA) weather reports.
The Heinrich-Hertz-Turm (named after the German physicist and Hamburg-born Heinrich Hertz) is a radio telecommunication tower and a famous landmark of Hamburg, Germany.
Designed by architect Fritz Trautwein, in co-operation with civil engineers Jörg Schlaich, Rudolf Bergermann and Fritz Leonhardt, it was built 1965–1968 for former Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post and Telecommunications Agency, now Deutsche Telekom's subsidiary Deutsche Funkturm GmbH) near Planten un Blomen (a city park). With an overall height of 279,2 m (916 ft) it is Hamburg's tallest building; it comprises a 204 m (670 ft) steel-enforced concrete lower section, topped by a 45 m (148 ft) steel-lattice tower and a three-segmented cylinder of about 30 m (98 ft), which supports various antennas.
There are eight concentric platforms stacked one above the other; starting at 128 m (420 ft) with the two-story observation (lower floor) and restaurant (upper floor) platform, served by two high-speed elevators. Above that at 150 m (492 ft) is the operations platform housing the workforce and equipment, and further up six differentially sized, smaller open platforms in same distances, populated with high-gain directional microwave radio relay antennas ("parabolic mirrors"). Number nine was added at 25 m height in July 2005.

An old Southern Television outside broadcast centre. A bus conversion, pretty much a TV centre on wheels. There's room inside for a few people to sit at the controls and keep tabs on what was being broadcast back in the day.
A brunette lady in a checkered blouse and dark Capri pants posing next to a television set in an interior of a 1950s American home. A starburst clock, a flokati rug, two small vases, and a figurine of a girl holding a telephone receiver can also be seen in the photo. The print is dated "JUN 59".
