O Parque do Retiro de Madrid ou os Jardins do Bom Retiro é um parque da cidade de Madrid, na Espanha. Foi criado entre 1630 e 1640 e tem uma área de 118 hectares.
Os jardins foram concebidos entre 1630 e 1640, quando o Conde-Duque de Olivares, vassalo atencioso do rei Filipe IV (1621 - 1665), ofereceu ao monarca alguns terrenos para o lazer da Corte em redor do Covento de San Jerónimo el Real. Quando se começou a adaptar esse complexo, conhecido Palácio do Bom Retiro, a área de 145 hectares que o envolvia foi toda ajardinada. Esses jardins foram concebidos pelo cenógrafo italiano Cosme Lotti.
Ao longo dos anos foram feitas muitas modificações, nem sempre planeadas, que alteraram os jardins, como por exemplo a Real Fábrica de Porcelana do Bom Retiro, durante o reinado de Carlos III (1759 - 1788), ou o Observatório Astronómico, durante o reinado de Carlos IV (1788 - 1808). O rei D. Carlos III foi o primeiro monarca a permitir que os cidadãos tivessem acesso ao recinto, desde que estivessem "bem vestidos e lavados".
Durante a invasão francesa, em 1808, os jardins ficaram parcialmente destruídos devido ao facto do complexo ter sido utilizado como quartel das tropas de Napoleão; o palácio foi igualmente destruído. Depois da Guerra Peninsular, Fernando VII) (1814 - 1833) iniciou a reconstrução do jardim e abriu-o ao público. O monarca reservou uma zona onde construíu uma série de edifícios para fins lúdicos característicos da época. No reinado de Isabel II (1833 - 1868) parte dos jardins foi vendido para aí se construirem habitações particulares. Após a revolução de 1868, a Gloriosa, os jardins passaram a propriedade municipal e as suas portas abriram-se para todos os cidadãos. Foram feitas as fontes das Galápagos, da Alcachofra e ainda a Fonte do Anjo Caído, obra de Ricardo Bellver. No Campo Grande foram construídos o Palácio de Cristal e o Palácio de Velázquez, obra de Ricardo Velázquez Bosco.

El Parque del Retiro (no confundir con los Jardines del Buen Retiro), popularmente conocido como El Retiro, es un parque de 118 hectáreas (1 180 000 m²) situado en Madrid. Es uno de los lugares más significativos de la capital española.
Los jardines tienen su origen entre los años 1630 y 1640, cuando el Conde-Duque de Olivares (Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel), valido de Felipe IV (1621–1665), le regaló al Rey unos terrenos que le habían sido cedidos por el duque de Fernán Núñez para el recreo de la Corte en torno al Monasterio de los Jerónimos de Madrid. Así, con la reforma del Cuarto Real que había junto al monasterio, se inició la construcción del Palacio del Buen Retiro. Contaba entonces con unas 145 hectáreas. Aunque esta segunda residencia real iba a estar en lo que en aquellos tiempos eran las afueras de la villa de Madrid, no estaba excesivamente lejos del Real Alcázar y resultó ser un lugar muy agradable, por estar en una zona muy boscosa y fresca.
Bajo la dirección de los arquitectos Giovanni Battista Crescenzi y Alonso Carbonell se construyeron diversos edificios, entre ellos el Teatro del Buen Retiro, que acogió representaciones de los dramaturgos españoles del Siglo de Oro, entre ellos Calderón de la Barca y Lope de Vega. Perduran aún el Casón del Buen Retiro, antiguo Salón de Baile con frescos de Lucas Jordán, y el llamado Salón de Reinos, un ala del Palacio del Buen Retiro decorado antaño con pinturas de Velázquez y Zurbarán, entre otros; y los jardines de la posesión real.
Éstos se formaron al mismo tiempo que el palacio, trabajando en ellos, entre otros, Cosme Lotti, escenógrafo del Gran Duque de Toscana, y edificándose una leonera para la exhibición de animales salvajes y una pajarera de aves exóticas. El Estanque grande, escenario de naumaquias y espectáculos acuáticos, el Estanque ochavado o de las campanillas y la Ría chica pertenecen a este período inicial.
A lo largo de la historia, el conjunto sufrió modificaciones, no siempre planificadas, que cambiaron la fisonomía del jardín, como el Parterre, diseñado durante el reinado de Felipe V (1700–1746), la Real Fábrica de Porcelana del Buen Retiro en tiempos de Carlos III (1759–1788) o el Observatorio Astronómico, obra de Juan de Villanueva, reinando Carlos IV (1788–1808). El rey Carlos III fue el primero en permitir el acceso de los ciudadanos al recinto, siempre que cumpliesen con la condición de ir bien aseados y vestidos.
Durante la invasión francesa, en 1808, los jardines quedaron parcialmente destruidos al ser utilizados como fortificación por las tropas de Napoleón. El palacio fue casi totalmente destruido.
Tras la contienda, Fernando VII (1814–1833) inició su reconstrucción y abrió una parte del jardín al pueblo, como ya hiciera Carlos III. El monarca se reservó una zona, entre las calles de O'Donnell y Menéndez Pelayo, donde construyó una serie de edificios de recreo, siguiendo la moda paisajística de la época, que aún se conservan, como la Casita del Pescador, la Casa del Contrabandista y la Montaña artificial.
Reinando Isabel II (1833–1868) se abrió la calle de Granada, que más tarde se llamaría de Alfonso XII, vendiéndose al estado los terrenos comprendidos entre ésta y el Paseo del Prado que fueron urbanizados por particulares.
Tras la revolución de 1868, (la Gloriosa), los jardines pasan a ser propiedad municipal y sus puertas se abrieron a todos los ciudadanos, comenzando una época en la cual, la Ría grande y el Estanque de san Antonio de los Portugueses se transformaron en Paseo de Coches. Se colocaron las fuentes de los Galápagos y de la Alcachofa, erigiéndose también la fuente del Ángel Caído en lo que fueron terrenos de la Fábrica de Porcelanas, obra de Ricardo Bellver. En el Campo Grande se edificaron el Palacio de Cristal y el Palacio de Velázquez, obra de Ricardo Velázquez Bosco. En esta época, concretamente a finales del siglo XIX, transcurre la novela que Pío Baroja tituló Los Jardines del Buen Retiro, en la que se narra la vida de la capital en torno a este enclave.
Las últimas obras de ajardinamiento fueron las ejecutadas por el jardinero mayor Cecilio Rodríguez, que diseñó la rosaleda y los jardines que llevan su nombre.

The Buen Retiro Park (Spanish: Parque del Buen Retiro, literally "Park of the Pleasant Retreat", or simply El Retiro) is the one of the largest parks of the city of Madrid, Spain. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, when it became a public park.
The Buen Retiro Park is a large and popular 1.4 km2 (350 acres) park at the edge of the city center, very close to the Puerta de Alcalá and not far from the Prado Museum. A magnificent park, filled with beautiful sculpture and monuments, galleries, a peaceful lake and host to a variety of events, it is one of Madrid's premier attractions. The park is entirely surrounded by the present-day city.

I used a Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 1:2.8/50 lens with a 39mm thread for the Braun Paxette rangefinder on a KMZ Zenit 3M SLR, which also has a M39 mount. As the Zenit has a larger flange distance than the Paxette, the lens automatically becomes a macro lens, but it cannot be focused to infinity.
The Xenar is Schneider's variant of the classic Tessar design - in my opinion one of the best ever.

Deb and I went for a drive today and found this range rider herding some cattle down a line fence. Note the dogs around him. I think I counted eight total. Probably not getting rich but money can't buy the satisfaction of riding a good horse on the open range with your best friends keeping you company.
ok, so, its a bit of a cop out useing the same set up, but i felt i needed to do a before and after shot.

Using the overcast skies to my advantage, I was able to get a southbound grain train passing the Ridgefield station sign.
Had it been sunny, this whole shot would have been terribly back lit as the sun was directly over the locomotives.
Eastman Kodak's modern One Time Disposable Single Use camera, was introduced in 1987. The Fling was based on 110 film. Kodak released a 35 mm version in 1988, and in 1989 renamed the 35 mm version the FunSaver. That same year they discontinued the 110 Fling. Although we think of the One Time Disposable Single Use cameras as a modern product, it really goes back to 1888 when Kodak introduced "the Kodak" and coined the phrase, “You press the button, we do the rest.” It is truly amazing how that camera and Eastman Kodak changed how we use photography today. More on this and and why I have attached such a long name to it on a future Film Photography Project Podcast. I'll update with a link when it airs.

This RS4 Avant uses a long-roof variation on my DTM sedan chassis. I’ve wanted to build a wagon for some time, and just keep ending up somewhere else. Finally I made myself stick to it :)
As with my Alfa and Merc builds, this has a 7-stud section between the wheel wells and uses a 1 plate vertical offset at the rear wheels to produce a slight downward rake towards the front.
I wasn’t sure the front clip was possible considering the rather specific geometry of Audi faces, but after some iteration I found a way to make it work. This solution for the grille face requires two black triangle stickers to be placed on the lower 1x1 white tiles (I used the extra black from a left over SC sticker sheet) to get the basic shape right since the angles of these details are sub-pixel for Lego, for lack of a better term. The DRL’s are achieved with more intricate shapes cut from the white area on an SC sticker sheet. They are so key to the look there is no way around it :) The basic layout of the front ended up being rather straight-forward and without stickers looks quite a lot like a current gen Charger sedan. The offset achieved by layering the 1x3 grille tile over part of both trans-black headlights helps to produce the right proportions for the grille and gives more dimension to the headlights.
Out back is a place where instead of stickers I have employed printed graphic inserts for the tail lights. In Illustrator I created black and white LED shapes for the tail lights and cut them to fit inside the 1x1 trans red tile and the 1x1 trans red slope. It has a nice, subtle scale detail effect that gets the car’s look much closer than the trans tiles were getting on their own. As with my GT350 build, I again used some left-over black sticker area to black out the interior/inset area of the white 1x1 panel tiles, which helps to visually unify the rear diffuser.
I ultimately built about 5 different roof racks (all too tall or too wide) and ended up back at this simple solution. The racks will be interesting for something later, but it kept looking more like a safari adventure than a rack for a sporty weekend outing so I took the clean and simple route.
I wanted this car to have a bit of a story, being a wagon/estate, so this also gave me a good reason to build a little picnic cooler, pick up an azure city bike and throw in a boombox. Hello local parks, here come some all-wheel burnouts!!
Used my 14mm lens to try having the side of the frame really close to an object, which I find interesting.
This is still an old & really atmospheric part of the East End of London.
