Spinnerei Jakobstal in Bülach. Marc had the brilliant idea to also light up the control panel from behind.
Centred around an Amek BIG 44 channel analogue, in-line, fully automated console with Pro Tools 7.4, Genelec and KRK monitoring, Kelsey looms, all Neutrik connectors, Neve outboard and a real 1980s sofa.

I would not want to run into whatever made this in a dark alley at night...
WUOG, the UGA radio station, did some volunteer work at the Athens-Clarke County Animal Control Center.

Everything was shot with a 50mm prime lens and f/1.8
Iso varied from 100 to 200 and shutter speeds from 1/3000 to 1/4000.
I welcome and encourage all comments, suggestions, and criticism.
Please, tell me what you think!
I assume the blue antenna control goes to the blue wire out of the Scosche antenna kit. That will be the first thing I solder.
The Soils Laboratory at the Fisher Delta Research Center takes in hundreds of soil samples each year from farmers, landowners and gardeners.
David Dunn, MU Extension Associate Soil Testing Lab & Rice Extension, examines dried soil samples that were placed into numbered boxes. Two grams of each soil sample are placed into testing tubes. Dunn uses a simple, yet precise method to fill the testing tubes in order to control compaction and disturbance of the soil physical properties.

Plans are afoot to convert this disused site into a entertainment complex.
People living near the Derbyshire village of Crich are being asked for their views on plans to build a huge waterpark in a nearby derelict quarry. The Crich Quarry hasn't been used for more than a decade, but revised plans could soon see it become a hive of activity for the next few years.
Developers say the Amber Rock Resort project will create jobs for the local economy. During construction, it could create two hundred jobs, and once operational, the site would have a hundred full-time and part-time jobs. But many residents are worried it could all mean more congestion for the area.
The plans include:
a 116-bed hotel
148 straw bale lodges, with seven floating
210 holiday lodges
shops
restaurants
a sports hall
The project is likely to take over 5 years to complete.

From Moebius, the Seaview (1/128 scale) comes with a great control room. I chose to display mine outside the submarine, so it can be seen in all its glory.
Here's the main switch panel for the van. The big "on/off" switch is a battery isolator - I can turn off everything in one go :)

Suvarnabhumi Airport, (IATA: BKK, ICAO: VTBS), also known as (New) Bangkok International Airport, is one of two international airports serving Bangkok, Thailand.
The airport is located in Racha Thewa in Bang Phli , Samut Prakan, about 25 kilometres east of downtown Bangkok. The name Suvarnabhumi was chosen by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and refers to the golden kingdom hypothesised to have been located somewhere in Southeast Asia.
The airport has the world's tallest free-standing control tower (132.2 metres), and the world's fourth largest single-building airport terminal (563,000 square metres). Suvarnabhumi is the fourteenth busiest airport in the world, sixth busiest airport in Asia, and the busiest in the country, having handled 53 million passengers in 2012, and is also a major air cargo hub, with a total of 96 airlines.

There's something else to look for while you're waiting for your training session. When you're in the corridor alongside Mission Control, watch the small monitors on the workstation behind the glass. You may spot footage of an albatross coming in for a rough landing. It's a clip once used for comic effect during the pre-show of the Mission to Mars attraction in the Magic Kingdom (1975-1993).
As you advance along the switchback queue, ostensibly to receive training for the ultimate space mission, enter the "Sim Lab", a large warehouse-like training area similar to one that might be found at Kennedy Space Center. Pass by a huge rotating wheel with chambers that is supposedly used for simulating gravity for trainees. Along the queue are a number of interesting visuals, including a genuine Lunar Rover on loan from the Smithsonian. From there, pass into the Command Room, where Cast Members sit behind a glass wall and multiple control panels. On the wall are plaques commemorating outstanding "firsts" in space travel -- First Man in Space, First Man on the Moon, etc., up to the fictitious "First Family in Space" and "First Deep Space Mission." At the end of this queue, you are standing in front of four color-coded Ready Rooms, into which you will be dispatched in teams of four. You are given the roles to assume during the training mission -- commander, pilot, navigator or engineer. As you wait for your assignment, peruse the astronaut uniforms on the walls, and watch a video from CapCom.

Soldiers with Troop O (Outlaw), 4th Squadron, Combined Task Force Dragoon, set up a traffic control point with members of the Afghan Uniformed Police Dec. 30, 2013, at Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The Soldiers conducted a series of partnership missions with the AUP near a number of security checkpoints throughout the province. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. Joshua Edwards)
The ship's main battery consisted of nine sixteen-inch (406 mm) naval guns (16"/45 Cal) with a maximum range of 21 miles (34 km). Hitting a target at that distance required calculations including type of ammunition, own ship speed and course, target speed and course, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure and rotation of the earth. With no electronic computers, a mechanical computer such as this one in each of the main turrets did the job.
At Battleship Memorial Park, near Mobile, Alabama, I visited the Battleship Alabama (BB 60), a South Dakota-class battleship, now a museum ship. This battleship was launched and commissioned in 1942 and served in World War II in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She has been at this location as a museum ship since 1964. The park includes many other historical exhibits.
