Ryde Pier Head on the Isle of Wight, with Drewry diesel tram, in 1964. These only had a driving position at one end, and so had to be 'reversed' up to the end of the pier, and the rear-view side mirrors would have been useful... There was a mechanical indicator to show the progress of the car, and the roller contact for this can be seen just in front of the tram wheel, on the left.
The trams were seen here on December 31st 1966 - the last day of steam on the island:

The service continued after that, but finally ended in early 1969, and the chassis - minus bodywork - of one of the cars ended up at the Wight Locomotive Society (later Isle of Wight Steam Railway) where it was used for a while for transport of materials and parts.
It was seen here at Havenstreet in summer 1972:

It finally suffered mechanical failures, and was abandoned, with just the stripped chassis and some salvaged parts stored away..
After many years, a serious preservation project was started in 2012, with many new and remanufactured parts, as the original design would have - by that time - been impossible to use for public passenger carrying, and the original engine would have been too weak for use on an actual railway....
Work is progressing on the 'motor' car, and the project may eventually include a new 'trailer' car as well.

The tramway 'trackbed' girders can still be seen on the pier today (2018).

Located just outside the northeast corner on Yosemite National Park this Sierra peak, in spite of all the beauty, is seen by very few people. It's remote location and winter snows make it unknown to all but a small trickle of hikers heading deeper into the Sierras.
Dieses ungewöhnliche Insekt mit dem extrem langen Rüssel habe ich gestern
fotografiert! Weiß vielleicht jemand was das ist?

Thought I pull out the LensBaby for some shots today. This unknown grass started to bloom in my onion patch.
One of my favorite poems is from Robert Frost called “The Road Not Taken” – the poem has always been an inspiration for me and I tend to bring it out when I come to those really tough times that I need to make decisions that will fully affect my life. It’s also helped me in discovery of other things – such as my faith in religion (which is hard pressed) and when times for people who are going through rough patches to look forward and face the challenges that have been laid before them (while I walk behind and encourage.)

"I disclaim responsibility for many of my thoughts. They don't come from me. They come from these squatters and hobos who hang out in my head, these guys who stroll past me like naturalized, emancipated rodents (passport and papers all in order), like gentrified rats, flapping a paw and saying 'Hi, pal', and I have to wait and not mind while they make coffee or hog the can - there's nothing I can do about them, the people in here, me among them, no better and no worse and with complete equality of powerlessness, are like sick bats or threadbare monkeys wearing hippie loons and jaded t-shirts with three buttons up the throat. There's nothing I can do about them, these unknown Earthlings."
~ Martin Amis, Money

Oh, I also had my colleagues in front of the lens - if anyone knows what kind of insect that is, I would be happy to hear from you

If the unknown wasn't a fear
Human beings would be free
Sometimes I think about these wild animals, that never saw a human, and which are curious when they see the first one in their life.
I think the unknown is a fear only because we think to know the risks, but there is no rule, and we all have to face this unknown with confidence. Maybe we will find nice things :)
