Work quickly and efficiently with the plate compactor. Eliminate the need for a worker in the trench.
This large, wheel-type compactor is just the ticket for compacting backfilled trenches 4- to 12-inches wide and up to 4-feet-deep.
The second model based on the stacked triangle twists just uploaded.
This model:
Alios kraft, hexagon from 30x30 cm square, 40 division grid.
Included CP and several views, backlit, with and without flash.
Well, ok, this is only some boring shot.
The reason was, to find out about the bokeh capabilities of my compact Canon G10 ...
Result is, not really surprising, that with small objects and macro mode (the golden birds on the fence poles are perhaps 10 cm in height) you can get a quite decent bokeh. Otherwise not.
Good bokeh / good background blur needs:
+ small object distance
+ large focal distance (drawback of the compact cams: short focal lengths :-/ )
+ wide aperture
+ long background distance
.... that's the whole trick ... :-)
These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.
Maginon CF35, cheap compact camera for 35 mm film. I have really no clue regarding the manufacturer, there is no country of production or serial number mentioned on the body. It is mainly made of plastic, but the castings are very clean, so my suspect is Premier from Taiwan.
The camera has a folding front door like the Minox 35 and the lens is really retractible. It is a 4/38 mm fixfocus lens, probably with 3 elements.
It has no exposure meter but the common symbols (cloudy, sunny and something in between). Together with the setting of the film speed (100, 200 and 400 ISO) you will get 6 f-stops in combination.
When the flash is switched on, you have to set the flash distance with the f-stop ring. So, I think the light sensor above the ring is just for underexposure warning.
Furthermore: film advance with a wheel, frame counter, tripod socket, no self-timer, 2x AA-cells for the flash.
Looks very similar to the Yashica Partner.
The first version is f the wet bath had walls lined with vinyl panels, which delaminated from the walls like crazy. This pic shows the first iteration of the water heater and shower controls.
I took this one a while ago, it was lost in the archives for a year and a half, until now. Its only a leaf but theres a lot of things I like about it, like the texture, the colours and the depth of field.
Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.
Try writing with the font or check the details on Swooshable.
with Porst Color Reflex 1:1,8 50mm lens
The camera is a relabeled Cosina CSM

Mei Tung Estate (traditional Chinese: 美東邨) is a public housing estate at the south of Wong Tai Sin. It consists of 2 Old Slab-typed blocks, each building is 8-storey, providing over 600 flats. Although the estate is near Kowloon City, it belongs to Wong Tai Sin District rather than Kowloon City District because it is located at the north of Tung Tau Tsuen Road (traditional Chinese: 東頭村道), the boundary between two districts.
美東邨（Mei Tung Estate）是香港的一個公共屋邨，屬於九龍黃大仙區，位於東頭村道及聯合道交界。本邨對面雖為九龍寨城公園（前九龍城寨），但在香港行政分區中屬於黃大仙區的西面和南面分界沿聯合道、東頭村道及並與九龍城區為界。因此之故，有不少人誤以為本邨在九龍城區。

The Sci-Arc/CalTech Hanwhua Solar House, CHIP (Compact Hyper-Insulated Prototype), 2011
Exposition park
700 Exposition Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90037
SciArc/CalTech for the US Department of Engergy Solar Decathalon, 2011
2011 Decathalon Winner
An "Exposition Park" needs to be about emerging technologies -- not just a museum of past discoveries. CHIP carries on this tradition, and should be a permanent fixture on the campus. Tucked away behind the California Science Museum, this temporary exhibit was a delightful find. Although it's small, It's very livable. Well done!

Architecturally, the crown jewel of Exposition Park is the 1913 Natural History Museum (renamed the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History), designed by the prominent team of Frank Hudson and William Munsell. The Natural History Museum is mostly Beaux Arts, capped by a large dome of stained glass, supported by marble pillars. The building accents are Romanesque and Spanish Plateresque.
The Sunken Garden (renamed the Rose Garden in the 1920's) is the park's other National Register site. There are more than 20,000 rose bushes, with more than 200 varieties. The Rose Garden, with the Natural History Museum in the background has been captured in numerous films and TV shows, most recently featured as the home of the "Jeffferson Institute" on the TV crime drama Bones. The park's past is checkered. Originally it was a vanue for horse, camel, dog, and later automobile racing; it also reportedly housed the city's longest bar and "one of its most stylish brothels."
Also lining the Rose Garden are other architectural treasures. The Beaux Arts/Classical Exposition Building (renamed the California Science Center) runs parallel to the garden, and opposite the Natural History Museum is the Beaux Arts/Egyptian Revival Armory Building (Now the Science Center School and Amgen Center for Science Learning. Next to the Armory Building is the 1984 Frank O Gehry and Associatiates California Aerospace Museum. Elsewhere in the park is The Museum of African-American History, designed in 1984 by Jack Haywood and Vincent J Proby. The Memorial Coliseum was designed by John and Donald Parkinson.
Exposition park holds the distinction of the only venue in the world to host two olympic summer games (X and XXIII) and two Superbowls (I and VII). During the 1990's the park's popularity decreased and it was possible to spend time in the Rose Garden and almost not see another person. Today the park has regained its popularity.

The park is public space owned by the state of California, whose major cultural facilities mentioned above are operated by both the state and Los Angeles County. The 160-acre (0.65 km2) site served as an agricultural fairground from 1872 to 1910 (hence its original name Agricultural Park). Farmers sold their harvests on the grounds, while horses, dogs, and even camels competed along a racetrack where the rose garden now blooms.
In 1880, John Edward, Ozro Childs, and former Governor Downey persuaded the State of California to purchase 160 acres (0.65 km2) in Los Angeles to foster agriculture in the Southland. Soon after USC was built in 1880, the city's most influential families moved into the neighborhood, but did not appreciate the racing and the gambling that came with it. As a result, the rose garden replaced the racetrack, and the park became what it is now with its grand museums.

After a long break from aquascaping here is a new Wabi Kusa.
Lighting:
45W, 3080 lumen compact fluorescent tube, on for 12 h/day
Substrate:
ADA Penac P, Penac W, Bacter 100, ADA Amazonia and white sand.
Sprayed with full RO water and watered with RO water mixed with ADA Do!Aqua BeBright. I currently change 100% of the water every day, plan to change every 4-5 days in the future.
Plants:
Uttricularia graminifolia
Eleocharis parvula mini
Pogostemon stellata
Hygrophila sp 'Araguaia'
Riccia fluitans
Vesicularia dubyana
The plan is, that under such lighting the Uttricularia will eventually go wild, covering the "open water" area of the bowl and hopefully bloom. Although the wabi currently has an "island in the sun" feel due to the sand, this is not my final intention. From what I've experienced UG does better in sterile, compact substrate and likes to venture into places where it can be half submersed. That is why I will keep such a high water level in this wabi. I really hope the UG will actually stay alive. As soon as it gets too much ammonia and/or nitrate from an other plant's dying leaf it can melt right away in a spot and eventually, since it has a tendency to grow dense, the whole carpet can kill itself by passing on the rotting...
