Jaguar SS 2. Note the SS hood ornament as the leaping cat wasn't introduced until a couple years later with the SS 100.

Way back in the day (when people shopped at downtown department stores in American cities) people would meet at Kern's Clock.

One from 2015 which I just edited from scratch.
There is an Armenian church which I drive past on my way to work that used to put up hundreds of crosses each spring in the field next to the church to commemorate the Armenian Genocide. It was visually very impressive and for a couple of years I photographed it. This is one of my favorites of the bunch.
There is a quote from Hitler concerning the Armenian Genocide (the last line in the text that follows):
[August 22, 1939]
"My decision to attack Poland was arrived at last spring. Originally, I feared that the political constellation would compel me to strike simultaneously at England, Russia, France, and Poland. Even this risk would have had to be taken.
"Ever since the autumn of 1938, and because I realized that Japan would not join us unconditionally and that Mussolini is threatened by that nit-wit of a king and the treasonable scoundrel of a crown prince, I decided to go with Stalin.
"In the last analysis, there are only three great statesmen in the world, Stalin, I, and Mussolini. Mussolini is the weakest, for he has been unable to break the power of either the crown or the church. Stalin and I are the only ones who envisage the future and nothing but the future. Accordingly, I shall in a few weeks stretch out my hand to Stalin at the common German-Russian frontier and undertake the redistribution of the world with him.
"Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter -- with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It's a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me.
"I have issued the command -- and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad -- that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness -- for the present only in the East -- with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?
Kevork B. Bardakjian, Hitler and the Armenian Genocide (Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Zoryan Institute, 1985).
While I am not an expert on the Armenian Genocide (which itself is a loaded term for some people), the fact that it seems to have played a part in Hitler’s calculus regarding what ultimately resulted in the Holocaust makes me sympathetic to the Armenian people (aside from the fact that the killing of anyone or any group of people evokes my empathy and sympathy). The crosses were actually pretty short in height (a foot or two), but I shot them from a perspective near the ground to make them appear bigger and more dramatic. Taken with an IR converted camera.

On a stroll through the Little Italy section of San Diego.
Photographed this mother/daughter Chun-Li cosplay at FanX 2019. I masked, retouched and composited them into this background I created for the final image.

The "piazza" in San Diego's Little Italy section.
spent the last several days at the "happiest place on earth" ... iPhone X, not the best quality but just got the 11 Pro Max so future night shots should be improved 
Darn Love-Bug season coating the front of the train. Retaking in a couple months will be easier than trying to clean up with PS.
Really behind on my editing. Just as well I don't do much shooting!
