Been there last week. It's true, it's spring in the northern hemisphere, sorry Australia.

Some impressions made with the full focal ranges of the lenses:

I've considered to post this one in the landmark game, but a google for "tulips windmill" gives ridiculousy easy matches.

Really gorgeous :!).

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
