A rather dismal shot of a condensing pannier - class 5700 , No.9710 on pilot duties at Paddingtom. 8th.August 1964.
Water condensation on the inside of a plastic water bottle left in a hot car for about an hour. Car interiors get deadly hot fast. Leaving living things in one can make them dead things -- be careful!
Ex-GWR condensing '97XX Class' 0-6-0P/T 9700 at Old Oak Common, in August 1958.
These were designed to work over the Metropolitan and 'Widened Lines' via Paddington to the subterranean goods depots at Smithfield. The water feed pump seen here was necessary, as the condensed steam in the side tanks made the water too warm for conventional injectors to operate..
The loco had entered service - as 8700 - in 1931, and was renumbered in 1934. It was withdrawn in October 1963, and scrapped in December. No examples were preserved.

"Drinking alcohol" at the restaurants have been prohibited since the "State of Emergency" was declared due to the Covid-19 protection, announced by the government.
It's keep going for another 1 month, probably.
The whole stress have been gathered and condensed and piled up as an Aluminum Art Piece.
inside the waterfall ice cave close to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, Iceland. ...it's hard to explain how you feel inside such a cave - you should try it on your own! :-)
...für meinen nächsten Workshop auf Island gibt es im Augenblick noch einen letzten freien Platz!
Condensed from Wikipedia:
Eberbach Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery near Eltville am Rhein in the Rheingau, Germany. On account of its impressive Romanesque and early Gothic buildings it is considered one of the most significant architectural heritage sites in Hesse, Germany. In the winter of 1985/86 the interior scenes of The Name of the Rose were filmed here.
Eberbach was founded in 1136 by Bernard of Clairvaux as the first Cistercian monastery on the east bank of the Rhine, on the site of a previous monastic foundation of Adalbert of Mainz, which had been occupied at first by Augustinian canons and then by Benedictine monks, which had however failed to establish itself.
Eberbach soon became one of the largest and most active monasteries of Germany. Eberbach Abbey was also very successful economically, principally as a result of profits from the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine.
The abbey suffered severe damage during the Thirty Years' War, beginning with the attack of the Swedish army in 1631. Many valuable items from the church and the library were looted, and the monks were forced to flee, of whom only 20 returned in 1635 to begin a laborious reconstruction.
The 18th century however was a period of great economic success: surviving accounts show that the abbey profits were regularly invested on the Frankfurt money market.
The final decline set in with the French Revolution. The abbey was dissolved on 18 September 1803.
Today, Eberbach is a winery and special event center.
Epic super wide vertorama of the amazingly cool IM cooling tower. Just being inside it made me much happier.. and I was pretty happy to begin with :)
Didn't get this one on my last visit due to taking too long under the tower. Always good to do a return visit.

The Meseu da Electricidade is one of the most striking technology museums we ever visited. It´s the giant Tejo power station, built in 1908 by the CRGE (Companhias Ruinidas de Gas e Electricidade) as the 'Estacão Eléctrica Central Tejo' and also kown as ‘Central da Junqueira’ power station. The facility was expanded and modernized in different steps. The last step was taken in 1951. It´s kinda ironic that due to the new national power grid policy and the prime role hydro-electric power generation in it, the Tejo station then already had the status of reserve station, mainly kept on stand-by.
The power station was coal fired and employed towering Babcock & Wilcox high pressure boilers. It could provide the whole of Lisbon with electricity and was decommissioned and mothballed in 1972. It´s max output was 65 MW. In comparison a modern metropolitan coal/biomass fired power station outputs up to 1500 MW.
There's by the way a lively debate about these kind of modern coal fired plants because the relatively high amount of NOx, SOx and CO2 in their combustion fumes. There's a drive to phase them out and rely on gas fuelled ones or, preferably, ones that use wind and other sustainable energy sources instead. So in a way Portugal, like for instance Norway (although Norway skipped the coal phase), was ahead of the game..
Anyway, after a while it was decided that the old mothballed Tejo power station should be turned into a museum. And the result was spectacular. The vintage technology is very well preserved and made readable via didactic cut-opens and access areas. And some dioramic scenes to enhance storytelling /realism and a permanent exposition about the world of energy and the generation of it were added The museum opened in 1990 and was renovated and modernized from 2001-2006. It´s now the most popular Portuguese museum..
This post depicts the bottom level of the condenser hall and the stairs to the area where the actual electric current generation takes place: the hall of the turbo alternators.
On the stairs is a group of schoolchildren that we encountered at various places in the museum. Their disciplined behaviour and being spellbound by the presentations of the educational staff of the museum was remarkable.
Faces of some lower case glyphs of 24pt Granby Condensed. I've been able to acquire a few mostly complete sets in the hope of getting a personal project underway to celebrate 100 years of Edward Johnston's famous typeface (Granby is practically Johnston).

The condensed Spindrift year, from April to November, is a perfect replica of any lifetime. It’s all there—from the groans of the heaving spring ice and the ensuing bashful unfurling of the wild orchids to the dazzling light bouncing off the hot summer lake to the fallen gold needles of the Tamarack and the need to let it all rest and die for the winter. All this is our cycle, too. It’s a cycle we must fully inhabit. All other possibilities—whether we lived before, will again, or perhaps never did—are extraneous to why we are here. Now. We’re here to discover, heal, know God, and inhabit life before it’s too late. And we’re here with the mandate to leave with no regrets over unfinished earthly business. Sadness is okay; regret is not.

...this is the first labour day weekend I haven't been able to spend at Spindrift. My health has kept me away for most of the summer. But our daughters and families are. And there is great solace in knowing Spindrift goes into the 3rd generation now...
A bit of scaperboard artwork here I suspect on the cover of the Winter 1950 - 1951 Condensed Time Tables issued by the Canadain Pacific Railway - as noted this was for use of passengers arriving by Atlantic Steamships. CP used to market themselves as spanning the globe via their Atlantic and Pacific steamship routes allied to their Trans-Canadian railway lines and perhaps there was a version fo this for arrival by Pacific Steamships.
The artwork is a little 'old fashioned' in some respects for 1950 but it is wonderfully detailed and eye-catching as the train steams across what appears to be a prairie landscape, even down to a couple of telegraph poles far right.
