The camera used to make these photos was the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. I got my first one on ebay for $10. The next two cost 99 cents each at a local thrift store. The price of the camera soared when production was stopped for a time. Even though production has now resumed, people are still paying $30 to $40 for the camera. The construction of the camera is pretty flimsy, though it is light-tight. The 22mm lens is extraordinary, being a two element design that is very sharp, with little distortion for an ultra wide-angle.

Beautiful colors! I am going to have to pick one of those up for myself one of these days!
I gave away the last 99-cent one I found because I decided I didn't need more than two, and I liked the opportunity to undercut the ebay price gougers. I'll put you first on the list for the next thrift store find.
well done, Mike. Those little VUSW are really special cameras!
I like that lonely yellow firemen's water connection. It seems to be waiting for its dog.
