The third Sea Picnic and Sea/Air Spectacular was held on Torbay’s Armed Forces Day at Babbacombe Downs, Torquay in aid of the TRINITY SAILING TRUST, BRIXHAM – which takes hundreds of disadvantaged children, mainly from the inner cities, to sea for a week’s personal development training each year in four classic sailing trawlers. Many thousands of the general public gathered to watch the spectacular sea and air displays.
This year's show was bigger and better involving vintage fighter aircraft, paramotors, fast boats and explosions.... plus 'Torbanian' Pirates!
my friend Kilnders Rawl E. once told me that if you see two places at the same time you are actually seeing a third place.
During the last three months, there have been three places I have "lived." By far, number one is the library (I spend about about twelve hours a day there). Number two is my apartment (I sleep here--spending 7-8 hours there a day). Number three has been Jack in the Box. I have found this little both a great place to study for hours. In this photo, my sister is sitting at the booth having a snack.
My third day of picture taking. The second day had shoddy lighting so I came back here today, finding a much better atmosphere for shots like this.

Historic Richmondtown, Staten Island, New York City, New York, United States
Richmondtown, in which this courthouse is located, is an unusual survival of an early town and county center. It represents a cross section of development, varying from the late seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. Historically and geographically the center of Staten Island, Richmondtown is about seven miles from St. George and is located in LaTourotte Park.
The town is in process of restoration and reconstruction. Certain notable buildings on Staten Island, which would otherwise have been lost, have been moved to Richmondtown to insure their preservation.
Some reconstructions are planned to fill in historical gaps. Some modern buildings, in character with their surroundings, will also be added to provide necessary services. Streets within the area will be closed to vehicular traffic; peripheral highways will give access to parking fields and to the visitors' entrance.
The houses will eventually be completely furnished and shops equipped with tools to show how previous generations lived and worked. Quiet tree-lined streets, gardens and orchards will form an attractive part of the setting of the town.
The Richmondtown Restoration, which includes this courthouse within its boundaries, is the only project of its kind in the metropolitan region. It is administered by the Staten Island Historical Society under a contract between the Society and the New York City Department of Parks.
The Third County Courthouse is located in a dominant position on its original site. It was built in 1837 in the Greek Revival style. A pedimented portico with four unfluted Doric columns is actually a forward extension of the main roof line.
The columns, without bases, rest on a handsome stone foundation. A cupola, containing the Courthouse bell, surmounts the roof. This building consists of a central block flanked by two smaller wings.
The front is of local trap rock, and the roar and sides are of brick, it has been repaired and painted both inside and out, and the large court room is complete with the judge's bench, clerk's desk and witness box. The building is now used for the administration offices and auditorium of the Richmondtown Restoration and of the Staten Island HistoricaI Society.
History
The first European colonists settled in the area that is now known as Richmondtown in about 1680, the date of the first land grant. In 1695 a combined church, school and home for the lay reader and school toacher, known as the Voorlezer, was built by the congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church. In 1696 the Dutch received a lease of land in Cocclestown (Richmondtown) upon which stood the Voorlezor's house.
This hamlet was probably known as Cocclestown bocause of the heaps of oyster and clam shells or "coccles" left there by the departing Indians.
Many of the buildings we see in Richmondtown today were built in the early part of the eighteenth century Including a church, a county house, a jail and several houses. The Revolution had little effect on this quiet community, except for the fact that the courthouse and church were destroyed because the Dutch were believed be sympathetic to the rebel cause.
In 1898 Staten Island became a borough of the City of New York, and the many county functions and offices which had been at Richmondtown were moved to St. George. By 1920 all the remaining offices had also been transferred.

A third film with my newly-arrived FOCA Universel "R", a French range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's along a photo walk at Parc de la Tête d'Or, on April 20, 2023, Lyon, France.
The camera was loaded with an Rollei Superpan 200 (Agfa Aviphot 200) 36-exposure film. It was exposed for 200 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The Oplarex lens was equipped with a Foca AUV push-on 42mm protective filter and a generic cylindrical shade hood.
Rollei Superpan 200 (i.e. Agfa Aviphot 200) is a super-panchromatic film coated on a thin polyester teraphtalate (PET) base with a water-soluble black anti-halation coat on the back that should be removed by two or three presoaking bathes before developing. The film sensitivity is extended to the near infrared to 780 nm. The film is known to gives excellent results to reduce the atmospheric blur and offer a spectacular resolution and contrasts.

France
After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 8 min. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera :
The Foca Universel "R" is the late series (circa 1956-1962) of the Foca Universel 35mm range-finder camera appeared in 1950 and produced until 1956. The Universel model of FOCa was fitted with a bayonet mount instead of the 36mm screw mount of other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1947. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This exemplary of Foca Universel R was likely manufactured in 1959 or 1960.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAREX lens 1:1.9 f=5cm with the OPL bayonet mount.

This is the amazingly great Third Octave Filter in BEA 5 in Sonology, the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, the Netherlands.
It's Danish, made by Brüel & Kjœr in Copenhagen, Band
Pass Filter Set Type 1612. This interface is really, really modified.
Assertion: This design by Cipe Pineles for Seventeen magazine employs the rule of thirds to create a balanced and elegant fashion spread.
Evidence: The figure in this piece is positioned in the right third with a background that supports the figure. A chair on the left balances a desk on the lower-right of the frame. Both provide compositional support to the figure, which is fully aligned on the right-third axis.
Commentary: The chair she holds is compositionally interesting, I see it as a ground element in relation to the woman's figure, but it is clearly placed in front of her in the foreground. This is a little bit of an odd example of the rule of thirds, but I think it works. Also, Cipe Pineles is awesome, providing an exception to the Mad Men view of the 1950s/60s design scene.
