1961 - 1971 Mercedes-Benz W 111 Coupé (16)
photo show
Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
The Mercedes-Benz W111 was a chassis code given to its top-range vehicles, including 4-door sedans, produced from 1959 to 1968, and 2-door coupes and cabriolets from 1961 to 1971.

Mercedes-Benz emerged from World War II as an automaker in the early 1950s with the expensive 300 Adenauers and the 300SL roadsters that gained it fame, but it was the simple unibody Pontons that were the volume models. However, in both their construction and design, the Pontons were archaic, based on 1940s models of U.S. sedans.

Work on replacing these cars began in 1956, and the design focused on passenger comfort and safety. The basic Ponton cabin was widened and squared off, with larger glass area improving driver visibility. A milestone in car design were front and rear crumple zones that would absorb kinetic energy from impact. The automaker also patented retractable seatbelts. (The death toll in the new generation cars would be less than half that of the pontons.)

The exterior was designed for the European and North American markets. The body was modern and featured a characteristic tailfins that gave gave the models their nickname — the fintail (German: Heckflosse).

Series production of the 4-door sedan began in August 1959, and the car was premiered at the Frankfurt Auto Show in autumn. Initially the series consisted of three models the 220b, 220Sb, and the 220SEb. These replaced the 219 W105, the 220S W180 and the 220SE W128 Ponton sedans respectively.

Design of a replacement for the two-door Pontons began in 1957, as most of the chassis and drivetrain were to be unified with the sedan, the scope was focused on the exterior styling. Some of the mock-ups and prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling almost identical to what would be realised in the Pagoda roadster, but ultimately favoured the work of engineer Paul Bracq. The rear bodywork however, persisted, and thus, though officially still called a fintail the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. Production began in late 1960, and in February of the next year the coupe was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of Mercedes-Benz Museum.

Der Mercedes-Benz W 111 war das erste Oberklassen-Modell der Heckflossen-Serie von Mercedes-Benz, gelegentlich „Große Flosse“ genannt.3

Der W 111 folgte der bis 1959 gebauten großen „Ponton“-Serie W 105 und W 180 nach. Seine geradlinig elegante Karosserieform stammte vom damaligen MB-Chefdesigner Karl Wilfert und seinem Team. Die Karosserie zeichnete sich durch eine bis dahin nicht gekannte passive Sicherheit aus: Sie besaß als erste eine stabile Fahrgastzelle und wirksame Knautschzonen. Mercedes führte umfangreiche Crashtests durch, z. B. brachte man ein Fahrzeug mit 80 km/h über eine Rampe zum Überschlagen.

n die Baureihen W 111 und W 112 eingeordnet wurden neben den viertürigen Fahrzeugen („Heckflossen“-Limousinen) auch die Coupés und Cabrios in flacheren Karosserien mit runderen, nur noch im Ansatz erkennbaren Finnen. Im Rahmen der Eröffnung des Daimler-Benz-Museums in Untertürkheim am 24. Februar 1961 wurde der neue Mercedes-Benz 220 SE(b) Coupé präsentiert.

Im US-Thriller Marathon Man von Regisseur John Schlesinger aus dem Jahr 1976 wird ein W 111 von einer der Hauptfiguren, Klaus Szell bewegt. Dieser kommt in einer Verfolgungsjagd um Leben, nachdem er einen Tanklaster rammt.

Im Film Der Richter und sein Henker von 1975 ist eine schwarze Limousine der Baureihe W 111 zu sehen. Diese wurde von Robert Schmied bzw. Walter Tschanz gefahren.

Im Film The Hangover wird ein silbernes W-111-Cabrio gezeigt.

Im Film Im Geheimdienst Ihrer Majestät fahren die Gegner von Geheimagent James Bond in der Schweiz eine schwarze Limousine, Typ 220 S. Während einer Verfolgungsjagd wird der Wagen spektakulär zerstört.

Kept Heart
heart image
Image by haunted by Leonard Cohen
Here is a really crappy photo of the present I made for my husband in celebration of 14 years of marriage, in 2006.

For many of our anniversaries we have made gifts for each other. This started as a way to show our love in an cost-efficient, non-commercial, hyphen-loving manner.

The traditional gift is ivory, which is of course illegal to purchase. One of his buddies suggested he get me a bar of Ivory soap for a gift. Charming right?
I however thought it was a great idea and began thinking of a way to use ivory soap to carve a gift.

I used an anatomical model up at the school, probably got someone in trouble for too many overrides-- and also used some medical illustration sites for refrence, one's kinda juicy,so if you're squeamish, don't click! www.fotosearch.se/LIF124/3d402010/
www.science-art.com/image.asp?id=1979

I glued two pieces of soap together with Elmer's glue. I should have taken the time to make a slurry out of soap shavings as the glue was harder than the soap and didn't make a smooth seam. Also, it is now turning yellow on my lovely carving.

One of the things I really appreciated about carving the soap was the non-toxic properties and how easily it carved with a cut off hack-saw blade and a dental tool. Yay dental tools. My dentist thought I was crazy when I asked him for some old tools, but lucky for me he relented.

I painted the box in highly toxic gold epoxy, and sewed the little pillow.

Maybe some day I can take a photo of the details that is in focus , it's really kinda cool and I enjoyed the process.

My favourite Shoot by ac_theart on Flickriver

La Magnolia (Magnolia, L.) è un genere di piante della famiglia delle Magnoliaceae. Comprende oltre 80 specie arboree e arbustive a lento accrescimento, ma che in alcune specie come la Magnolia campbellii e la Magnolia officinalis possono superare i 20 m di altezza, caratterizzate da interessanti fioriture, originarie del Nord e Centro America dell'Asia e dell'Himalaya.

Il nome del genere è stato attribuito da Charles Plumier, in onore di Pierre Magnol 1638-1715 medico e botanico francese, direttore del giardino botanico di Montpellier, che introdusse la nozione di famiglia nella classificazione botanica.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magnolia is a large genus of about 210[1] flowering plant species in the subclass Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae.

The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main center in east and southeast Asia and a secondary center in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America.

The genus is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol.

(Unfortunately the weather was not the best, with an ambient light very bad)

Il 6 maggio 1757 nei pressi della città si svolse la Battaglia di Praga che vide fronteggiarsi gli eserciti prussiano, guidato dallo stesso re Federico II di Prussia, e quello austriaco, guidato dal principe Carlo Alessandro di Lorena. La vittoria arrise ai prussiani, che posero la città in stato di assedio ma non riuscirono a conquistarla; nel luglio dello stesso anno dovettero togliere l'assedio a causa della sconfitta subita a Kolin.
Le quattro città indipendenti che precedentemente formavano Praga, vennero proclamate come unica città nel 1784.
La città di Praga conserva all'interno della Cattedrale di San Vito le più importanti reliquie della nazione, ovvero le spoglie mortali di San Giovanni Nepomuceno, martire del sigillo sacramentale della confessione e patrono della Boemia.
Queste quattro città erano Hradčany (il Castello, a ovest della Moldava), Malá Strana (ovvero il Piccolo Quartiere nell'area a sud del Castello), Staré Město (la Città Vecchia, sulla riva orientale opposta al Castello) e Nové Město (la Città Nuova, a sud-est). La città subì un'ulteriore espansione con l'annessione di Josefov (il quartiere ebraico) nel 1850 e Vyšehrad nel 1883.
--
Prague (English pronunciation: /ˈprɑːɡ/; Czech: Praha pronounced [ˈpraɦa] ( listen), see also other names) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Nicknames for Prague have included "the mother of cities" (Praga mater urbium, or "Praha matka měst" in Czech), "city of a hundred spires", or Stověžatá Praha in Czech and "the golden city" or Zlaté město in Czech.[4]
Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
Today, the city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million.[5]
Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, making the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, receiving more than 4.1 million international visitors annually, as of 2009.[6]

The Asar Mahal was built by Mohammed Adil Shah in about 1646, which was used to serve as a Hall of Justice. The building was also used to house hairs from the Prophet's beard. The rooms on the upper storey are decorated with frescoes and the front is graced with a square tank. Here women are not allowed inside. Every year there is urs (festival) held at this place. In front of the hall, one can see three tanks the bigger tank, which is at the center is about 15 feet (4.6 m) deep however the other two are comparatively smaller in size as well as depth. Behind Asar Mahal one can still see the remain of the citadel. Just a kilometer away behind Asar Mahal, one can still find the old mosque which is on top of the citadel wall. There is a big entrance with arc below this mosque. Many stones have inscriptions. The site is under maintenance of Archeological Survey of India.

My latest macro rig
photo website
Image by macropoulos
Visit my website: www.macropoulos.com

After popular demand, by people who saw my latest spider macro, I decided to post a photo of my latest macro rig, in order to explain a bit more about it.

I had this equipment to begin with:
- Canon EOS 400D camera (also known as Digital Rebel XTi)
- Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens
- Canon EF 35mm f/2 lens

I had learned by others who use this technique, that if I reversed the 35mm lens it would double as a magnifying glass. I could attach it in front of my other 100mm macro lens in order to enhance the magnification ratio. All I needed to securely connect them was a coupler ring that matches the filter thread size of my two lenses and that would be, in my case, a 52mm to 58mm. I easily found one on Ebay for the price of 5€ (including shipping costs from the US to Greece).

With this setup, you can only focus (manually) on subjects really close. I included a pen in the above photo, in order for you to understand how close I'm talking about.

You understand that at this distance the depth of field (DoF) is too shallow and focusing is very difficult. If you move a few mm away from the subject, you lose it completely from the viewfinder! It certainly takes some practice. I had already heard that the easiest way to focus would be to move your body forward & backward, instead of using the focusing ring, so that's what I did.

Properly lighting the subject is another problem. In order to have any DoF at all I had to close the aperture of the 100mm lens as much as possible (f/32) and you simply can't have enough light without using a flash. Problem is I don't have an external flash and my only option was to use the on-board flash. But the subject is so close, it gets shadowed by the very lens, so my only option was to bounce the light of the flash. The reflector used was a plain white sheet of paper, positioned behind the subject.

I hope this helps...

Villa Cat Being Himself

We didn't know that we should be feeding the villa cat. We assumed that either someone else was, or he wasn't to be fed to "enhance his desire for mousing."

But even after we began feeding him, the villa cat let us know directly when it was time to be fed. He's so cute!




I am now hiding some images. Either use this guest pass to view my Umbria photos, or this one to view them all from the trip.
