The old railway bridge now a foot bridge across the River Hull, it was built about 1885 on Bankside near to Air Street Kingston upon Hull, with the control cabin. 20th September 2020 In monochrome.
German WW2 AtlanticWall Bunker, M.Fl.B. Type Regelbau FL244 Fire control post for heavy Flak Anti Aircraft battery.
The battery is constructed according to a standard layout for this type of anti-aircraft batteries. The site still contains the fire control post of type FL244 (Fire control post for heavy Anti Aircraft battery) on the northeast side of the site and in the center of the site four gun positions of the types FL243 Emplacement for 8,8/10,5cm Anti Aircraft gun). On the south side are two ammunition bunkers of the type FL246 (Munitions Auffülrlaum für Schwere.

Formerly a beautiful 1920's skylit control room, unfortunately now only half of it left and the skylight is blocked
I was driving from Jacksonville Florida to Lake City Florida when I came across a section of Pine forest that had recently undergone a controlled burn. I'm not sure I caught the image the way i wanted. I didn't have a tripod with me so you loose some detail in the pines in the background where i think the picture really is.
This photo was taken in a railway museum in Strasshof in Lower Austria near Vienna. The image shows a control panel inside of a draisine, which was originally built for railway workers and is not in use today.
I hope you like the picture. Please give me some feedback to let me know what you think about the photo.
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
yapımında emeğim geçtiği için demiyorum, silahtarağa gidip görülmeli çok güzel...
picture from the control room of the old thermal power plant silahtaraga, the museum of new campus of istanbul bilgi university. i was the design engineer of the infrastructure system during construction.
A fire broke out at work last week. Luckily it was contained. Shows how quickly we can lose control.
Human Spaceflight and robotic exploration image of the week:
What is the best way to control a robot from afar as you circle a planet with your mechanised alter ego doing precise work on the surface? ESA is testing human–robot control in space and on Earth as part of a strategy that sees astronauts controlling robots from space.
Last week at ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands, the Interact Centaur rover was controlled from the Human Robot Interaction Laboratory next door, formerly known as the Telerobotics and Haptics lab. Relying on video feedback, the operator drove the car-sized rover through an obstacle course.
The left hand controls the rover’s movements, while the right-hand controller pictured here moves the robot’s arm and gripper, offering 3D movement such as twisting and gripping.

The common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) is a species of death adder native to Australia. It is one of the most venomous land snakes in Australia and globally. While it remains widespread (unlike related species), it is facing increased threat from the ongoing Australian cane toad invasion.[citation needed]
The common death adder has a broad flattened, triangular head and a thick body with bands of red, brown and black with a grey, cream or pink belly. It can reach a maximum body length of 70–100 centimetres (2.3–3.3 ft). Death adders possess the longest fangs of any Australian snake. Unlike the common or European adder (Vipera berus), the common death adder is a member of the Elapidae family, rather than the Viperidae family of snakes, which are not found in Australia.[2]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The common death adder occurs over much of eastern and coastal southern Australia – Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is more scarce in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and the west parts of South Australia.[2] It is also native to Papua New Guinea.[1]
Common death adders are found in forests, woodlands, grasslands and heaths of the eastern coast of Australia. The death adder is a master of camouflage, due to its band stripes, hiding beneath loose leaf litter and debris in woodland, shrubland and grassland.[2]
Diet[edit]
Common death adders eat small mammals and birds as a primary diet. Unlike other snakes, the common death adder lies in wait for its prey (often for many days) until a meal passes. It covers itself with leaves—making itself inconspicuous—and lies coiled in ambush, twitching its grub-like tail close to its head as a lure. When an animal approaches to investigate the movement, the death adder quickly strikes, injecting its venom and then waits for the victim to die before eating it. The death adder is not aggressive and less of a threat to humans.[2]
Reproduction[edit]
Unlike most snakes, death adders produce litters of live young. In the late summer, a female death adder will produce a litter of live babies, approximately 3–20, however over 30 young have been recorded in a single litter.[2]
