A fancy apartment building on Worthing seafront.
The white railings against a dark background reminded me of industrial machine belts.
No , not that one 'cos it is up over at Godrevy - this one is down south at The Lizard Point as far down south as you can get !!
The Lizard Lighthouse stands at Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland Britain.
It acts as a coastal mark and to indicate landfall, guiding shipping passing along the English Channel and warning them of the dangerous waters here.
The current lighthouse with its two towers was built in 1751 but there was a working light here as early as 1619. This early lighthouse was erected thanks to the generosity of Sir John Killigrew, who applied for a patent which was granted on the condition that the light would be extinguished in time of war so it did not help to guide enemy vessels.
Killigrew agreed and erected the lighthouse but while he was sufficiently wealthy to have it built, the cost of maintaining it proved too much and almost bankrupted him. He had hoped that the vessels who benefited from the light would contribute towards its upkeep but unfortunately this did not happen. James I ordered that all ships who passed the light should pay a halfpenny per ton. Pressure from the unhappy ship owners who disagreed with this tax on them forced the patent to be revoked so the light was extinguished and the tower was subsequently demolished.
Although requests were made, it was not until 1748 that Thomas Fonnereau was given the go ahead by Trinity House to construct a new lighthouse. Completed in 1751 it is the building you see today with its two towers linked by a cottage in which one of the keepers would sit keeping an eye on both lanterns. If the fires became low he would sound a cow horn to let the others know it was time to stoke up the fires with the bellows.
In 1771, Trinity House took over the running of the Lizard lighthouse.
From 1903 onwards only the east tower was lit.
Automation came to the lantern in 1998 so the lighthouse keepers were no longer required.
The lantern has been removed from the western tower.
Lighthouse Cottages
The former lighthouse keepers' cottages are available to rent as holiday cottages.
Click on Lizard Lighthouse Accommodation and go to Holiday Cottages for details.
Please note the lighthouse itself is a working lighthouse and cannot be rented.
Kinda creepy, but also kinda cool at the same time. They move, make noise and light up. Bits and pieces of this and that.

Created in DDG Text 2 Dream using its "Artistic" Ai model.
Filters: PS Beta 2023, Topaz Sharpen Ai, Topaz Studio.
A bit of hand painting.
This began as all hot pink. I used the "Adjustments" tab set of filters in PS to bring in green/lilac tones, then added several layers of "difference" or "exclusion" on top. The final saturation and texture modifications are multiple Topaz Studio looks. I'm guessing that this is about 20 layers in total.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.
Kinda creepy, but also kinda cool at the same time. Bits and pieces of things, put together so they move, make noises and flash lights. But probably not for the kids.

The headquarters of Rockwell Automation in Milwaukee, WI features two large industrial buildings, connected by a six-story skywalk and crowned with what was for 50 years the world's largest four-sided clock.
Jingili Sister 1 Keres
Disruption
Ownership of activity
Prescribed by acceptable transactions
All is in flux
Resulting in frustration and error
And redefining
What is a fully functioning person
New base-line violations and agreements
To deal with unconscious reaction and reasoned response
Every interaction is observed
To satisfy the needs of commercial interest
There is no snap-back
This is a new socio-economic order
Of artificial intelligence, automation, and surveillance
Those who are left behind
Will be punished by poverty
By systems that are impenetrable and dehumanizing

Automate the observatory with two telescopes is much more difficult than with one.
Here I'm imaging NGC 891 with both telescopes and then the humidity reaches the maximum threshold, so both mounts get parked and the roof is closed.
Sample shot for the Exposure.Detroit Woodward: Mile By Mile Project
The Albert Kahn designed Ford Model T Plant. Starting place of the mass production assembly line one turning out over nine thousand vehicles at its peak and raising standards of living for those fortunate enough to find work there.
First successful fully automated run. Other than hitting the power buttons the scope ran itself- from unparking to parking at the end. A bright moon, so I stuck with a trusty favorite the Perseus double cluster through the more forgiving 320mm fl apo.
I will also be able to "delay start" when darkness comes late (like in June) or when a target doesn't rise until after bedtime. I haven't tried yet, but the goal is to also be able to run multiple targets as darkness allows. A rare clear winter night around here is about 18 hours long, enough for 3 full imaging runs.
My point, certainly, is not to let the thing run while I sit inside and eat potato chips, more to give the flexibilty to do other things without having to babysit the imaging. Other things could be visual telescoping, going to the park for the view to the south, or I guess sitting on the sofa and eating potato chips.

The second prototype for my latest Mindstorms project, which will hopefully become an automatic LEGO mosaic printer.
Info, commentary and video of it in action can be found in the video: youtu.be/r8OQDy29yJU
The latest update to my LEGO Mindstorms printer project, with the scanning functionality all working.
I'm not sure I can really call this a prototype anymore, since it is pretty much fully functional, but there is still work to do.

Another Automation car I've made recently. This one's a 1990s budget-y FWD coupe, a bit like the Celica that's also in this upload.
Created for a Gizmodo article about home automation.
Random Trivia: In order to make the minifig hold the remote, I had to carve off the lower part of his hand. Also... the liquid in the mug is actually beer.
