El Ojo de Londres en un dia muy nuboso.
El London Eye es una gran noria situada en el South Bank del río Támesis en Londres, Reino Unido. Es la noria más alta de Europa7 y la atracción turística más popular del Reino Unido con más de 3,75 millones de visitantes al año.
Tiene 135 m de altura y el círculo de la noria tiene un diámetro de 120 m. Cuando abrió al público en el año 2000 era la noria más alta del mundo. Sin embargo, su altura fue superada por la Estrella de Nanchang (160 m) en 2006, por el Singapore Flyer (165 m) en 2008, y por el High Roller de Las Vegas (168 m) en 2014. Sostenida por una estructura con forma de A solo por un lado, al contrario que las norias más altas de Nanchang y Singapur, el London Eye es descrito por sus propietarios como «la noria en voladizo más alta del mundo».
El London Eye era el mirador público más alto de Londres hasta que fue superado por el mirador situado en la planta 72 de The Shard, a 245 m de altura, que abrió al público el 1 de febrero de 2013.
El London Eye linda con el lado oeste de los Jubilee Gardens (que previamente albergaron el antiguo Dome of Discovery), y está situado en el South Bank del río Támesis entre el Puente de Westminster y el Puente de Hungerford, junto al Salón Condal, en el Municipio de Lambeth.
Feliz Martes de Nubes para todos y todas
“The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest Ferris wheel, is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3.75 million visitors annually, and has made many appearances in popular culture.” It was amazing whether you were looking at the view from the Eye, or admiring it from a distance. We did both!
When you walk the Thames Path, you also encounter the famous London Eye. ;-))

The structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. Its height was surpassed by the 525-foot (160 m) Star of Nanchang in 2006, the 165 metres (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008, and the 550-foot tall (167.6 m) High Roller (Las Vegas) in 2014. Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel.
The London Eye offered the highest public viewing point in London until it was superseded by the 245 metres (804 ft) high observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on 1 February 2013.
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge beside County Hall, in the London Borough of Lambeth." - WiKi

M31 or NGC224 and previously referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula before it was known to be a galaxy is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way with a mere 2.5 million light years away. Like our own Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy but it is more than twice as big with some 220,000 light years across, it is also the largest galaxy in the local group, the Milky Way is the second largest of the 44 galaxies in the group. Andromeda and the Milky Way are in a collision path and when they collide in 3.75 billion years they will probably form a huge elliptical or disk galaxy eventually. The space in between stars is so vast that very few stars will collide; however, the strong gravitational changes will create all sort of galactic weather. The two supermassive black holes at the center of them will gravitate each other in a binary back hole system and finally merge. Andromeda appears in the constellation of Andromeda with an apparent magnitude of 3.44. All the stars in any picture of Andromeda are local stars in the Milky Way, the small galaxy in the top left is M32, a satellite galaxy of Andromeda.

Met de D38598 bestond er een aantal jaren geleden nog een directe verbindung tussen Berlijn en het Poolse Swinoujscie, gereden werd deze trein met een tweetal 646 treinstellen.
Op 23 augustus 2009 stond ik 's ochtends vroeg te station Hackescher Markt om deze trein te fotograferen (alleen in de zomermaanden staat de zon ver genoeg om dit motief met het Bodemuseum in de achtergrond om te kunnen zetten.
Op de foto zijn de treinstellen 646 503 en 646 016 een aantal minuten geleden vertrokken van Berlin Zoo en vervolgen hier hun weg naar Swinoujscie Centrum.
Het Bodemuseum werd overigens wereldberoemd toen op 27 maart 2017 een 100 kilo zware Canadese gouden munt (ter waarde van 3,75 miljoen dollar) werd gestolen...
Vor etliche Jahren gab es noch eine Direktverbindung zwischen Berlin und Swinoujscie. Zwei BR 646 Triebwagen fuhren als D38598 direkt von Berlin Zoo über die Stadtbahn und den Außenring gen Nordpolen (Swinoujscie Centrum).
Am 23. August 2009 wartete ich geduldig am Hackescher Markt und freute mich, dass die Sonne noch nicht ganz "um" war als 646 503 und 646 016 um die Ecke kamen. Im Hintergrund grüßt das Bodemuseum.
Long gone are the days where one could travel directly by train from Berlin to Swinousjcie (in Poland on the baltic sea coast). In 2009 this was still possible and on August 23rd 2009 I was waiting at S-Bahn station Hackescher Markt for the train to pass by. Shortly after 06:30 two class 646 railcars (646 503 and 646 016) came around the corner to continue their journey to Swinousjcie Centrum as D38598. The building in the background is the Bode museum (which became famous when on March 27th 2017 a famous 100 kg (220 Lbs) heavy Canadian gold coin - worth 3,75 Milion $ was stolen) can be seen...
Jasper sometimes volunteers for Cactus Patrol at the arboretum, making sure all the park patrons behaving. Don't worry, having spent all of his life so far in the desert, he's quite adept at avoiding those prickly bits
We took Jasper to Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, AZ yesterday. It's a favorite spot for all of us. He just loves all the different smells and different wildlife. We were quite proud of him, walking 3.75 miles (~6km) with a pep in his step the whole way. Not bad for a 13.5 year old boy. Then when we got home, he was super excited and wanted extended play. We're so glad he wants to remain active, so we indulge him.
The 1961 Chrysler 300G was the final year for fins on the 300, marking the end of Virgil Exner's FlightSweep designs, but they did go out in a grand way!
Chrysler's first-generation Letter Cars hammered the competition during the 1955-'56 NASCAR seasons. The full-size fliers then went on to set speed records at Daytona in '57, prior to both the AMA ban on motorsports and NASCAR's embargo on elaborate fuel delivery systems. In spite of those two apparent setbacks, Chrysler continued to improve its top-of-the- line V-8 engine as well as the now-legendary luxury performance machine that engine came wrapped in. So, the mighty Letter Cars thundered on, in production form, at the command of well-heeled owners seeking grown-up thrills. By 1961, Chrysler had moved up the alphabet to the letter "G."
The post-'57 Letter Cars were no longer eligible for circle track racing, but the 300G was still a force to be reckoned with in street trim, thanks to performance equipment that not only sounded good—413 cubic inches, Cross-Ram, dual four-barrels—but backed it up with 375 or an optional 400 horsepower, delivering a 0-60-mph time of 8.2 seconds (Motor Life, April 1961). Though not the fastest time turned by contemporary road test periodicals, it occurred during a period when most full-size cars could barely achieve 60 mph in less than 10 or 11 seconds while simultaneously maintaining an air of luxury.
Today, the 1961 300G is among the legion of groundbreaking Mopar performance cars, respected for its stunning combination of power and styling. Its value is bolstered by low production numbers— just 1,280 hardtops and 337 convertibles were built. These cars remain in the upper stratosphere of postwar American collector cars, but prices in recent years have held steady. Is this your time to grab one of the few remaining pieces of Letter Car history? Here's what you should keep in mind when you begin to shop.
The Cross-Ram Induction system's 30-inch "Long Rams" hide the big 413 V-8 from view.
Engines
Chrysler engineers specified a 413-cu.in. wedge to go under the hood of every 300G. Introduced into the RB-Series of V-8s in 1959, the 413 had a 4.18-inch bore and a 3.75-inch stroke with a forged-steel crankshaft. Compression was advertised as 10.1:1 and the cylinder heads breathed through 2.08/1.60-inch intake/exhaust valves, while a .430-inch lift, 268-degree camshaft dictated valve action. Also included was a pair of Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors. There were, however, two versions of the 413 installed, which were differentiated by the intake manifolds.
Referred to as Ram Induction and initially appearing in 1960, the elongated aluminum intakes were designed based on much older principles involving resonance and its effect on a compression wave of, in this case, the fuel/air mixture. Though we won't go into greater depth regarding the physics here, intake tube length had a direct effect on the timing of the fuel delivery, or ramming, into each cylinder bore, maximizing engine output at certain rpm ranges.
A pair of Carter AFB four-barrel carburetors provide the fuel/air mix.
With these basics in mind, expansion of midrange output was the main target of the base 300G 413 and the engineers thus calculated 30-inch runners would be ideal. Referred to as the Long Ram intakes, they were designed to fit neatly under the hood and crisscross (hence the Cross Ram moniker) over the top of the engine, each fitted with a single four-barrel carburetor at the outboard location. In this configuration, the engine hit 375 hp at 5,000 rpm and 495 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 rpm, effectively providing passing power on demand without sacrificing full-throttle acceleration.
Optional was the high-performance Short Ram version. Though this intake system looked identical to the Long Ram at first blush, the separate internal runners measured only 15 inches in length, raising the engine's power band and enabling it to make peak horsepower at 5,200 rpm, with peak torque at 3,600 rpm. This meant that Chrysler's advertised Short Ram ratings were 400 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Visually, a keen eye can spot the difference between the Long and Short Ram intakes. The Long Rams feature a visible valley between each pair of runners for the entire length; they also have a seven-digit casting number that begins with "19." Short Rams sport only a partial valley between runners; their seven-digit casting number begins with "21." Finally, Short Ram 413 engines were designed for those more interested in straight-line contests and are therefore the rarer of the two.
Transmissions
Backing either engine was the already-durable 727 TorqueFlite automatic, which was issued as standard equipment. Like other Chryslers of the day, the three-speed unit was shifted via pushbutton on the dash; it contained first and second gear ratios of 2.45:1 and 1.45:1, respectively. Replacing the French-made four-speed on the option chart was a floor-shifted three-speed manual, which is a relative rarity today. First and second gear ratios were 2.55:1 and 1.49:1; the two gears were not synchronized, making for some uncomfortable downshifts for the uninitiated. Furthermore, contemporary road tests complained of a long second-to-third gate while hinting that the better performer in transferring torque to the differential was the TorqueFlite.
Swivel front seats, upholstered in ventilated leather, were standard on the 300G.
Differential
The final transfer point for the torque from either engine was a standard 8.-inch open differential with semi-floating axles and a 3.23:1 final drive ratio, although some printed material suggests that a 3.15:1 ratio was employed when the three-speed manual was installed. While this unit was known for its durability, dealers were also able to provide a number of more highway-friendly or performance-oriented grear ratios, even if the optional Sure-Grip (positive traction) unit was installed on the assembly line.
Contemporary magazines reported an average mpg rating of 9 to 13 with a three-speed/3.23 arrangement, yet in terms of power off the line, both Motor Trend (8.3-second 0-60 mph) and Motor Life (8.2 seconds) stated that the 300G had more acceleration potential waiting to be unleashed if geared accordingly.
The center console provided some storage and housed a tachometer.
Chassis
Each 300G hardtop and convertible was derived from the New Yorker, which meant they shared the same basic unit-body/subframe platform and 126-inch wheelbase; however, the similarities were limited beyond that. For instance, though an independent front torsion bar suspension system was used, the 44 x 1.08-inch torsion bars were thicker and 40 percent stiffer than those on other Chryslers, rated for 175 lb-in. The same can be said of the rear semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rated for 135 lb-in (or 50 percent stiffer) than those on the New Yorker. For reference, the rear springs were comprised of seven leaves, measuring 60 x 2.50 inches. Power steering, with its 15.7:1 gear ratio, was also standard equipment, as were heavy-duty shocks.
In short, the chassis was engineered and better suited for high-speed highway travel and maneuverability rather than a short drive across the city. It could also handle short, quarter-mile blasts if, as discussed, geared accordingly.
Brakes
Although equipment upgrades were made in other areas, the hydraulic drum-brake system was the same as found in the New Yorker series. Drum brakes, measuring 12 x 2.50-inches, were utilized at each corner. Power assist was standard, so stopping the roughly 4,200-pound performer was easier; however, as with other drumbrake systems, each corner needed to be adjusted equally to prevent directional pull during sudden stops. Additionally, Chrysler employed two wheel cylinders per front assembly—a fact to keep in mind when seeking replacement parts.
Wheels and Tires
Unlike the previous 300F, the new 300G was bestowed with larger 15 x 6-inch pressed-steel wheels, which were then shod with 8.00-15 Goodyear Blue Streak "racing-type" tires that featured white sidewalls. According to one report, the width of the whitewall itself ranged from 3- to 3 3/16-inches. Vented "300" wheel covers completed the ensemble, and no options were available.
Body and Interior
Styling updates made to the '61 Chryslers, including the 300G, probably did more to generate higher sales than printed virtues touting the fleet's combination of power and comfort, marking the end of Virgil Exner's FlightSweep designs. The changes began with a complete revamp of the front end, where the grille was simply inverted. The top-to-bottom inward canted grille sides were harmoniously complemented by equally canted quad headlamps, running lamps, and bumper ends, while also matching the angle of the rear fins— which were also slightly redesigned. At the opposite end, the faux spare tire decklid inlay was scrapped, providing a cleaner expanse of sleek sheetmetal. Other than appropriate badging denoting the letter "G," little else appeared to change on the 219.8-inch-long body; the greenhouse and rear fenders were carry-over items, with the exception of the leading edge of the fins found on each door.
Interiors remained exquisitely plush. A full-length, front-to-rear tunneled center console divided the interior in two, creating four truly individual buckets seats wrapped in ventilated leather. Those front seats retained the swivel feature, making for easy ingress/egress, while the console was trimmed with ample amounts of chrome and padded armrests that flipped open to expose additional storage areas. The console also housed optional power window controls, ashtrays, and a tachometer.
Primary instruments resided in a dome-like, easy-to-read bubble; potential glare concerns were eliminated by means of a matching padded dash arch. The transmission's pushbutton controls resided to the left of the instrument cluster, balanced by radio, heat, and air controls to the right. Comfort and convenience options included power seats, power antenna, rear window defroster, and air conditioning.

Rhôs-on-Sea (Welsh: Llandrillo-yn-Rhos), also known as Rhos or Llandrillo, is a seaside resort and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It is a mile to the northwest but effectively a suburb of Colwyn Bay, on the coast. It is named after the Welsh kingdom of Rhos established there in late Roman times as a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd, and later became a cantref (hundred). Today there are many boats anchored within the new harbour and the boat trips and sea fishing trips from Rhos jetty are becoming ever more popular. Rhos on sea sits in the shadow of Bryn Euryn on the western edge of the Bay of Colwyn, and lies between the towns of Penrhyn Bay to the west and Colwyn Bay to the east. The Rhos-on-Sea section of the promenade (and cycle path) stretches from the Cayley embankment via Rhos Point and on to Penrhyn Bay in the west. The village centres on the harbour and the seafront, and a number of restaurants, ice cream parlours and pubs line the busy promenade. The stretch of beach that sits between the promenade and the harbour breakwater is the most popular section of beach in the summer months. Access to the sand and shingle beach is via either the steps from the promenade or the ramp at the Rhos Point end of the beach. The harbour breakwater creates a pleasant sheltered area popular for sun bathing and paddling. Birdwatchers and nature lovers can head west around Rhos Point toward the mussel beds to find a wide variety of seabirds including oystercatchers, dunlins, red shanks, cormorants and many more.

Marigot Bay is located on the western coast of the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, 3.75 miles southwest from Castries and a short distance from the Saint Lucian National Marine Reserve. It is surrounded on three sides by steep, forested hills. The inland portion of the bay forms a hurricane hole, used to shelter boats from hurricanes. Marigot Bay is a historic landmark, having been the site of a number of battles between the French and British navies.
The bay was used as the setting for the 1967 film adaptation of Hugh Lofting's Doctor Dolittle books. Scenes of the shipwreck, Great Pink Sea Snail, and the construction of the harness for the Giant Lunar Moth were filmed in the bay.
The American novelist James A. Michener famously described Marigot Bay as "The most beautiful bay in the Caribbean."

It was getting near dark as I was sitting at my desk. Something moved outside my window and this red fox was hanging around. I started to shoot through my window, but the reflections were too bad. So I grabbed my Canon from the tripod as it had my telephoto already mounted. I slowly went outside and shot while barely peaking around the corner. I hadn't the time to work the settings and took them like they were and starting cranking out frames. When done, they were all black! Hmmm... Thanks to shooting raw, I pulled them into LightRoom and ramped up the exposure. I had the camera on auto ISO and it was set to max at 3200. So, I was 3.75 stops underexposed, but the raw image still had the range to save the day. So after getting the exposure right, a series of trips to Photoshop, and four different Topaz tools; and voila...

Introduced at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was the first car introduced following the companies relocation from Feltham to Newport Pagnall.
Designed to be more aerodynamic than the earlier DB 5, which it resembles with the most noticeable differences being its wheelbase, side profile, split front and rear bumpers and rear panels incorporating the Kammback tail rear end. The tail, combined with the relocated rear-axle and the 3.75-inch (95 mm) lengthened wheelbase, provide more stability at high speed.
The option included the Vantage engine of 325bhp, limited slip differential, automatic and power steering (available from 1967)
