I had not heard of a gimcrack before today’s challenge. After looking up the word, I settled on this little farmyard in a corner of our kitchen.

A photo of a projected slide from my time in India in 1989. I’m unsure where I took this, but I think that it was in Bihar State.

Day : Whole, suggested by @val
I’m always grateful for the whole bean coffee that I buy from Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland. I’ve made sure to write to them to let them know. Here is their always available, general blend - Blendo Stupendo.

Day 6: Engineering, suggested by @ridwan
For all the advancements in digital technology, I am fascinated by the precision engineering that goes into analog clocks and watches. This photo is the back of a clock hanging in my mother’s apartment.

After our recent visits to Portugal, I feel spoiled for choice for tiles to share today. These were taken in Porto.

This car, sitting in front of our hotel in Florence, Italy last year, looked as though it had some zip to it.

Day 1: Secure, suggested by @mandaris
A plant behind a secure window in Florence, Italy.
A few views of the TWA Hotel at JFK early this morning. There are always people walking around taking pictures here. The retro sixties look is so well done.
The sunken lounge.
The old checkin desks that are now used for hotel checkin. The bag conveyor belt is running behind the desks, though they carry nothing.
The walk way connecting the hotel to Terminal 5.

And tonight.
A micro Micro Meetup with @maique. The meetup was “micro” because it was short, 5 or 10 minutes, at the end of the day before we headed off for the evening. Still I am very pleased that we squeezed it in and made it happen. Thank you Maique, it was great to see you again.

We had good Ramen here, take away. My mother’s first Ramen and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Still a little way to go, but Spring is starting to make an appearance.

I am not sure where this was taken, except that the country is India. I believe that it’s either the Lilajan River in Gaya, or the River Ganges in Patna. Like other recent photos that I’ve posted, it was taken in 1989.

Another photograph from my travels through the Indian/Chinese subcontinent between 1989 and 1990. This was taken near to Bodhgaya, Bihar state, India, possibly on the road on the way to the town. From the height of the photograph I wonder if I am sitting on the roof of a bus?
