BIT FORCE (IMO: 9256420) is a Asphalt/Bitumen Tanker and is sailing under the flag of Netherlands. Her length overall (LOA) is 116.9 meters and her width is 18 meters.
Name: BIT
Type: Speed
Pilot: Nue Wade
Special Ability: Stances
Description: BIT is a mecha with a very small frame, with a special type of wheels, integrated to the body of the build; they allow BIT to take different stances for different type of runs, normal stance allows for a fast run ideal for avoiding traps, racing stance guards the lower legs and allows for a 2 wheel drive great for speed and agility, but it’s special stance brings full speed with lower maneuverability.
The pilot has been trained by video games and the reflexes show it, even if it pilots from within, for him, it’s all a game.
- Build Notes -
So, I was watching Tron Legacy on netflix the other day (I will defend the art direction and the music, the story, well, it could be better) and I wanted to build a mech inspired by the bikes, and this design came, What I wanted to make mine was add a little bit more color, with the lights being blue and yellow.
So, do you like it? Leave a comment, and remember; you can participate on the MRL here:
This image includes a small section of Liverpool's Tobacco Warehouse, which is currently being restored and will house hundreds of apartments, and an end section of the historic bascule bridge, which was also restored a few years ago. I rather liked the little bit of colour the bridge added to the image.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles
Type/style of photography: Still Life
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): M
f stop used: f/5.6- Using this f stop, made it so that the candle in the candle holder was clear, but the top of the candle holder isn’t. Which I think makes it look interesting.
shutter speed used: 1/80- This shutter speed made it so that there was no camera shake, and the photo came out clear.
ISO used: 3200- Even though the noise isn’t too bad in this photo, I still should’ve used a smaller ISO, to prevent noise completely.
Focal length: 33.0mm- I used this focal length because I had a bigger set up, and I wanted everything in the photo, with a bit of room around the edge.
So today I chose to wear stockings to keep my legs warm and a jacket, when it warms up later I will take it off :)

Taken on a blazing hot day in August 2012, SNCF 567607 waits in Ussel to start the 15:20 service to Bordeaux, via Tulle and Brive-le-Gaillard, a journey which no longer exists as a through train, but was memorable because two of the five coaches had compartments, the very last time I rode in revenue earning corridor stock!
More powerful than the EE built 37's, these 67xxx class had a turbo charged inter-cooled V16 Pielstick diesel of various outputs, this one I think was 2550bhp. but they went up to 3500bhp by the end of production. Built by Brissonneau and Lotz, Nantes, production commenced in 1967

When I was filling my bird feeder, I looked down and saw this chipmunk actually perched on my right shoe. He got off, started collecting seeds and paid no attention as I pulled out my phone and took pictures! Just a little bit too familiar, perhaps?
The snow is very hard and crunchy but bits of last summers grass is still showing itself to remind me that eventually spring will come.

Over the last few days we have had a bit of rain not a great deal just a constant drizzle.
This morning however it brightened up and so I decided to walk to my parents. By god was it cold or what my poor pinkies turned blue with cold. As i walked the road to my parent i crossed the bridge over the river. now our river is more a wide stream normally (just as Cindy she will tell you) and only about three foot deep at its deepest.. today it was 10 or 15 foot deep and flowing fast and had burst its banks. I could still pass though that was until I got further up the road where it had flooded again . this time only about 6 inches but to deep to walk through in my shoes while cars passed by and so i waited until my moment the cars had gone the water level settle to a about half inch on the path and i made a run for it and got to the other side just as a car shot though the water missing me by about three foot. I knew I should have driven

As the sun rose over glacial peaks near Jokulsarlon lagoon, I groggily grabbed my gear and crossed the black sand and a narrow bridge to arrive on the ice-strewn shore. As brilliant orange-red light struck the countless chunks of glacier, I knew that I would never again see something so uniquely beautiful.

Attended the inaugural Brick Assembly: Bricks in the Six this past weekend in Toronto.
Had a blast seeing awesome builds, hanging with outstanding humans and discovering the city together. Received some stellar swag (and a trophy 😁), picked up some great finds and bucket list items.
Highly recommend taking part in the future!
Thanks for the good times BITS!
Bilden är främst en dokumentation av Daniaparken år 2009. Parken var en del av Bo01 men färdigställdes först en bra bit efter att utställningen hade stängt för gott.
Turning Torso syns i bakgrunden.
The picture is primarily a documentation of Dania Park in 2009. The park was part of the Bo01 Exhibtion but was completed quite a while after the exhibition had closed for good.
Turning Torso can be seen in the background.
January's king tides and a storm drove quite a bit of driftwood onto the beach. It's the most I've seen in ten months. Some, like this one, are large sections of tree trunks.
Of all the big driftwood I've encountered, this is the only piece that has been relentlessly tunneled by marine organisms. To judge by the dense layer of barnacles on the larger end, the trunk drifted in the ocean for a long time before the tide left it stranded on the sand.
It's not inconceivable that the wood made the passage across the wide Pacific from Japan.
========================================================
This discovery called for an explanation. What turned this tree trunk into so much cellulose Swiss cheese? The answer is "a bivalve mollusc in the family Teredinidae: a group of saltwater clams with long, soft, naked bodies."
How do shipworms accomplish this feat? Here are the mechanics:
"There are many different types of shipworms, the largest of which is up to 2 metres long. The worm has a head with two shells (they do the damage), and a wormlike body that follows behind…
They invade wood while in the tiny larval stage…The shipworm uses the shell on its head to burrow. Their ridged and rough surfaces rub the wood away as the worm first turns its head one way then the other. This cuts away a perfectly circular tube that is just a bit larger than the shell itself. The worm then eats the wood it has cut away, turning the cellulose in the wood into glucose that it uses for energy. The wormlike body follows behind the shell, producing a substance like chalk to line the burrow…The worm gets its oxygen from water. It draws the water in then passes it out again through through two tubes on its tail called siphons. These stick out from the opening of the burrow but can be pulled in and the burrow closed by special small plates called pallets. These seal the tube so tightly that shipworms can survive when the timber is temporarily out of water."

Wikipedia says:
They are notorious for boring into (and commonly eventually destroying) wood that is immersed in sea water, including such structures as wooden piers, docks and ships; they drill passages by means of a pair of very small shells borne at one end, with which they rasp their way through. Sometimes called "termites of the sea", they also are known as "Teredo worms" or simply Teredo, from the Greek τερηδών teredōn, via Latin. Eventually biologists adopted the common name Teredo as the name for the best-known genus.
Removed from its burrow, the fully grown teredo ranges from several centimetres to about a metre in length, depending on the species. The body is cylindrical, slender, naked and superficially vermiform, meaning "worm-shaped". In spite of their slender, worm-like forms, shipworms possess the characteristic morphology of bivalves. The ctinidia lie mainly within the branchial siphon, through which the animal pumps the water that passes over the gills.
The two siphons are very long and protrude from the posterior end of the animal. Where they leave the end of the main part of the body, the siphons pass between a pair of calcareous plates called pallets. If the animal is alarmed, it withdraws the siphons and the pallets protectively block the opening of the tunnel.
The pallets are not to be confused with the two valves of the main shell, which are at the anterior end of the animal. Because they are the organs that the animal applies to boring its tunnel, they generally are located at the tunnel's end.
They are borne on the slightly thickened, muscular anterior end of the cylindrical body and they are roughly triangular in shape and markedly concave on their interior surfaces.
The outer surfaces are convex and in most species are deeply sculpted into sharp grinding surfaces with which the animals bore their way through the wood or similar medium in which they live and feed.
The valves of shipworms are separated and the aperture of the mantle lies between them. The small "foot" (correspond-ing to the foot of a clam) can protrude through the aperture.
The shipworm lives in waters with oceanic salinity. Accordingly, it is rare in the brackish Baltic Sea, where wooden shipwrecks are preserved for much longer than in the oceans.[1]
The range of various species has changed over time based on human activity. Many waters in developed countries that had been plagued by shipworms were cleared of them by pollution from the Industrial Revolution and the modern era; as environmental regulation led to cleaner waters, shipworms have returned.[2] Climate change has also changed the range of species; some once found only in warmer and more salty waters like the Caribbean have established habitats in the Mediterranean.[2]

Seri sonu
aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Uzun bir hastalık gibi
Aralıksız dinlediğim alaturka bir fasıl gibi
Gökyüzüne bakmayı, dostlara mektup yazmayı
Çiçekleri sulamayı unutmuşluğum gibi
Bitti.
Bir aşk nasıl biterse öyle bitti bu aşk da
Yürümeyi yeniden öğrenen felçli bir çocuk gibi
Sokağa çıkmalıyım şimdi ve çoktandır
İhmal ettiğim dostlara yeni bir adres bırakmalıyım
Pencereleri açmalı, kitapları düzenlemeliyim
Belki bir yağmur yağar akşama doğru
Yarıda bıraktığım şiirleri tamamlarım
Aşk da bitti diyordu ya bir şair
Aşk bitti işte tam da öyle

With a bit of clag, GBRF 66736 powers over the level crossing at St Germains with 6S45. This is on Saturday 27th May 2017 in a brief spell of sunshine at 1251. 66736 is working the Blyth - Fort William loaded Alumina train ( Alcans )
Out with my dad today, stopped for some food while driving up the Clyde Valley. I noticed their disabled parking bays were painted in straight lines on the bricks rather than the usual circular wheelchair and user symbol, and to my eyes it looked like a piece of old 8-Bit graphics, which made me smile (I had to explain to dad what 8-Bit was).
If, as we have seen, the Atlantic province of Saintonge has a wealth of Romanesque churches from the 1100s, Burgundy is every bit as wealthy, or almost, and its Romanesque churches are often older by a good 100 years, if not more.
Even though Burgundy is far closer to home for me, I still haven’t been to all the churches I would like to see. Those visits take time to be enjoyed properly, and this kind of photography is slow and deliberate, which means restaurants and hotel nights, and these are activities whose desirability has been seriously curtailed by the pandemic over the past two years. Nevertheless, I have recently been photographing a couple of those old churches during day trips, and I will begin uploading the results, beginning today. I hope you will enjoy them.
Dedicated to Saint Marcel, the church we are visiting today is located in the village of Iguerande, in the Brionnais part of southern Burgundy.
Built in the golden sandstone that’s typical of the area (it’s the concentration of iron oxide in the ground that colors the stone), it is a large but squat church with three naves, a short transept and a harmonious and well-proportioned bell tower.
The sides were reinforced by truly massive, large-apparel buttresses.
It was built around 1050 with the typical exaggerated care of the architects and masons of the early Romanesque age, unsure about the resistance of materials and worried about the ability of their constructions to withstand the test of time.
Compare the careful, low-arching vaults of Iguerande to the slender audacity of the Vienne basilica I uploaded a few days ago: twice as high and three times thinner, even though it was built 600 years before! Then you can truly measure how much knowledge had been lost in-between...
This lovely church is the only building that remains of a Benedictine priory that was once a dependence of the abbeys of Cluny, then Marcigny.
The apse. The paintings on the walls at the extreme left are 19th century, but the one in the blind arch on the northern end of the apse is 12th century.

this is a bit of a special shot for me. i would say it's pretty much a year since i first picked up an SLR camera and the first proper shoot i ever did would have been a year ago, 3 months from today, 17/9/10 which i did up at earlswood lakes.
so today i thought i'd go back there, a bit of an anniversary visit. it's so wierd... i still remember that first shoot so vividly, how out of place that camera felt in my hands, how it took me ages to figure out how to set up my tripod, how i had to take my daughter with me 'cause i felt like such a plonker, an amature, a fake wannabe.
today, however, now that's a different story. took me a couple of minutes to set up (good thing too, given the weather) and start shooting and, when people stopped to look at what i was doing, i felt completely relaxed... how much a year can change!
